Summary

Adds .gitea/workflows/lint-no-tenant-gitea-token.yml — a broader-pattern CI lint companion to mc#1555's RFC#523 Layer 3 (lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml).

Why

lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml catches QUOTED-literal hits of forbidden env names under workspace-server/internal/. RFC#523's threat-model statement is broader: "tenant workspaces MUST NOT receive operator-scope repo-host tokens." A future writer could route the value via a variable, a struct field, or a config key and slip past the existing literal scan; this lint catches those routing patterns at PR review time.

How

Co-occurrence scan: a file FIRES the lint only if it BOTH:

• References a tenant-writer surface marker (one of: workspace_secrets, global_secrets, seedAllowList, /settings/secrets, envVars[, containerEnv, userData, provisionPayload, provisionContext)
• Quotes a repo-host token name (one of: GITEA_TOKEN, GITEA_PAT, GITHUB_TOKEN, GITHUB_PAT, GH_TOKEN)

The co-occurrence requirement is the false-positive control — a file that just logs a missing-env message won't fire.

Dry-run result on current main

17 candidate files (tenant-writer surface), 0 hits → CLEAN. Lint will pass on PR open.

Drift contract

Keys list shared (subset) with lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml and Go source-of-truth workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go — if RFC#523's deny set grows, update all three.

Test plan

• CI green on this PR (the new lint included)
• Synthetic offender (add os.Getenv("GITEA_TOKEN") next to envVars[ in a handler file) → lint FAILS
• Confirm exempt-list works (touch workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go adding a new quoted literal — should remain CLEAN)

Refs

• RFC#523 / internal#523
• mc#1555 (3-layer guardrail merged)
• Companion PR: molecule-controlplane (link in description after open)
• Task fix(sop-tier-check): use pull_request_target — pull_request leaks SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN (#146)

ci(security): task #146 lint — no GITEA/GITHUB token in tenant-writer paths ... 0468cee8a8

Adds .gitea/workflows/lint-no-tenant-gitea-token.yml — a broader-pattern
companion to mc#1555's RFC#523 Layer 3 lint (lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml).

The existing lint catches QUOTED-literal hits of forbidden env names
under workspace-server/internal/. This new lint catches the BROADER
class: any Go source that BOTH references a tenant-writer surface
(workspace_secrets / global_secrets / seedAllowList / /settings/secrets
/ envVars[ / containerEnv / userData / provisionPayload / provisionContext)
AND quotes a repo-host token name (GITEA_TOKEN / GITEA_PAT / GITHUB_TOKEN
/ GITHUB_PAT / GH_TOKEN).

The co-occurrence requirement is the false-positive control — a file
that just logs a missing-env message won't fire. Curated regex set
verified against current main: 17 candidate files, 0 hits (clean).

Exempt-list documents existing RFC#523 deny-set / silent-strip / pre-
existing persona-fallback paths. New entries require reviewer signoff.

Task #146 — RFC#523 (internal#523)

core-devops 5-axis review — APPROVE.

Correctness: 179-line workflow, same co-occurrence shape as cp#202 (companion lint in CP). SURFACE_PATTERN broader (adds provisionContext) to match molecule-core's writer shapes; FORBIDDEN_KEYS identical (GITEA_TOKEN, GITEA_PAT, GITHUB_TOKEN, GITHUB_PAT, GH_TOKEN). EXEMPT_FILES enumerates legitimate guard / silent-strip / persona-fallback files (workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go + test, provisioner.go + test, agent_git_identity.go, org_helpers.go, org.go, cp_provisioner.go). 0 violations in molecule-core — verified by the self-running lint on this PR being green.

Readability: drift contract spelled out (this lint + cp#202 + Go SOT workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go); per-exempt one-line justification.

Architecture: no paths: filter (required-status discipline); action pinned by full SHA; fetch-depth: 1 (sub-second scan).

Regex tightness: quoted-literal match (avoids comment false-positives); SURFACE_PATTERN curated against current main grep verification.

Security: catches the routing-pattern class (var/struct/config-key paths slip past literal-only scans). Open-source-template-friendly (no MOLECULE_-prefix literals).

Performance: sub-second scan.

Verdict: APPROVE.

core-security 5-axis review — APPROVE.

Threat model coverage: RFC#523 — molecule-core workspace-server is where tenant workspaces are PROVISIONED. A repo-host token leaked into a tenant's containerEnv / userData / provisionPayload = whole-platform git-host escalation. This lint catches that class at PR review time even when the token name is routed via a variable rather than a quoted literal in the writer file (because the lint requires only co-occurrence within the file, not on the same line).

Regex covers the threat model:

• FORBIDDEN_KEYS scoped to repo-host class {GITEA_TOKEN, GITEA_PAT, GITHUB_TOKEN, GITHUB_PAT, GH_TOKEN} — operator-fleet tokens covered by the broader lint-forbidden-env-keys.yml.
• SURFACE_PATTERN covers writer shapes in this repo (workspace_secrets / global_secrets / seedAllowList / /settings/secrets / envVars[ / containerEnv / userData / provisionPayload / provisionContext).
• Quoted-literal match (false-positive control).
• *_test.go excluded from candidates.

No token still slipping through this lint's scope: 0 violations on molecule-core/main (verified by the lint self-running on this PR — green). The 6 EXEMPT_FILES enumerate legitimate guard / strip / fallback paths (RFC#523 L1 SOT + tests, silent-strip denylist + tests, persona-fallback writers, CP→platform admin auth). Each exempt has a one-line justification.

Drift contract: this lint + cp#202 + Go SOT workspace_provision_forbidden_env.go — must stay in sync, comment is explicit.

Verdict: APPROVE.

core-devops: merged main into branch to pick up the # shellcheck disable=SC2034 annotations on tests/e2e/lib/peer_visibility_assert.sh + tests/e2e/test_peer_visibility_mcp_local.sh (introduced post-PR-branch in mc#1561). PR was branched before that landed → shellcheck failed against the rebased rule set even though this PR adds 0 shell files. Verified locally with the runner image: shellcheck exit=0 post-merge. Re-approving at new head.
