Subject: [PATCH 01/16] fix(canvas): skip config.yaml write for openclaw + bump
 request timeout to 35s
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Canvas "Save & Restart" was timing out for openclaw workspaces because
two bugs compounded:

1. **Pointless config.yaml write.** openclaw manages its own prompt
   surface via SOUL/BOOTSTRAP/AGENTS multi-file system — it does NOT
   read the platform's config.yaml. But ConfigTab.tsx was still
   issuing `PUT /workspaces/:id/files/config.yaml` on every save,
   which on tenant EC2 fans out through the slow EIC SSH tunnel path
   (`workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go`).
   Other runtimes that ship their own config are already exempted via
   `RUNTIMES_WITH_OWN_CONFIG` (external, kimi, kimi-cli). Add openclaw
   to that set so the platform stops doing work the runtime ignores.

2. **Client aborts before server returns.** `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS` was
   15s, but the server's `eicFileOpTimeout` is 30s
   (template_files_eic.go L118). When EIC was slow or the EC2's
   ec2-instance-connect daemon was unhealthy, the canvas aborted with
   a generic timeout *before* the workspace-server returned its real
   5xx — so the user saw a useless "request timed out" instead of
   the actual cause. Raise the default to 35s so the server's error
   surfaces. The AbortController contract is unchanged; callers can
   still override `timeoutMs` per-request.

Together these fixes unblock the user-visible "Save & Restart"
behavior on openclaw workspaces. The underlying EIC hang on
i-04e5197e96adb888f (last_healthcheck_at IS NULL) is tracked
separately as a follow-up — this PR makes the canvas honest about
errors instead of swallowing them, and removes the unnecessary write
from openclaw's critical path entirely.

 ### get_workspace_info
 Use to introspect your own identity (e.g. before reporting back to the user, or to determine whether you're a tier-0 root that can write GLOBAL memory).
 
+### get_runtime_identity
+Use this to answer 'what model am I?' truthfully instead of guessing from a stale system prompt — the operator may have routed you to a different model via persona env between boots. Always permitted by RBAC: even read-only agents may know what model they are. Distinct from get_workspace_info — that one calls the platform for ID/role/tier/parent (workspace metadata); this one returns the live process env (MODEL, MODEL_PROVIDER, MOLECULE_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, TIER, WORKSPACE_ID, ADAPTER_MODULE).
+
+### update_agent_card
+Use when the workspace's capabilities, skills, description, or name change and the canvas display needs to follow. The platform stores the new card and pushes an ``agent_card_updated`` event to subscribers. Gated behind the ``memory.write`` RBAC capability — read-only roles cannot rewrite the card. Tier-1+ owners always have this capability.
+
 ### broadcast_message
 Use for urgent, org-wide signals: critical status changes, emergency stop instructions, coordinated task announcements. Every non-removed workspace receives the message in its activity log (poll-mode agents see it on their next poll; push-mode canvases get a real-time banner). This tool returns an error if broadcast_enabled is false — a user or admin must enable it via the workspace abilities settings first.

+"""Tests for ``tool_get_runtime_identity`` and ``tool_update_agent_card``.
+
+These two MCP tools close the T4-tier workspace owner-permission gaps
+reported via the canvas:
+
+  - the agent could not update its own ``agent_card`` (no MCP tool
+    wrapped the existing ``POST /registry/update-card`` endpoint);
+  - the agent could not identify which model it was running (the
+    ``MODEL`` env var is injected by ``provisioner.workspace_provision``
+    but nothing surfaced it back to the agent).
+
+Ported from molecule-ai-workspace-runtime PR#17 (mirror-only repo;
+canonical edit point per ``reference_runtime_repo_is_mirror_only``).
+Adapted to core's conventions:
+
+  * tool functions return ``str`` (JSON-encoded), matching every other
+    tool in ``a2a_tools_*`` modules. Tests ``json.loads`` to inspect.
+  * permission check ``memory.write`` runs inline in
+    ``tool_update_agent_card`` (same pattern as
+    ``a2a_tools_memory.tool_commit_memory``).
+  * ``WORKSPACE_ID`` is read directly from ``os.environ`` — core does
+    not have the runtime's validated-cache layer (``molecule_runtime.
+    builtin_tools.validation``).

+ system/agent split). Adds the new /agent-home allowedRoots key plus
short-circuit dispatch that returns 501 with the canonical pending-
message body across List/Read/Write/Delete verbs.

Why a stub:
- Lets the canvas FilesTab design its root-selector UI against the
  final shape (the additional option appears in the dropdown today;
  the body just says "implementation pending").
- The stub-vs-real transition is server-side only — Phase 2b lands
  the docker-exec backend without canvas changes.
- The 501 short-circuit runs BEFORE the DB lookup, so canvases that
  speculatively GET /agent-home don't generate workspace-not-found
  noise in logs.

Tests:
- TestAgentHomeAllowedRoot pins the allowedRoots membership.
- TestAgentHomeStub_AllVerbs_Return501 pins the canonical 501 +
  message body across all four verbs (table-driven for symmetry).
- Both assert the stub short-circuits before the DB / EIC / Docker
  paths, so adding the real backend doesn't have to fight a stale
  test that exercised a wrong layer.

Existing Files API tests (ListFiles / ReadFile / WriteFile /
DeleteFile / EIC dispatch / shells) still pass — diff is additive.

Subject: [PATCH 04/16] feat(secrets): SSOT Go package for credential-shape
 regex (internal#425 Phase 2a)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Phase 2a of the Files API roots RFC. Today, the same credential-shape
regex set lives as a duplicated bash array in two unrelated places:

  - .gitea/workflows/secret-scan.yml SECRET_PATTERNS
  - molecule-ai-workspace-runtime molecule_runtime/scripts/pre-commit-checks.sh

Adding a pattern requires editing both, and drift is caught only via
secret-scan workflow failures on unrelated PRs (#2090-class vector).

This commit centralises the regex set into a new Go package
workspace-server/internal/secrets — pure-Go SSOT, exposing:

  - Patterns: []Pattern slice (Name + Description + regex source)
  - ScanBytes(b []byte) (*Match, error)
  - ScanString(s string) (*Match, error)
  - Match{Name, Description} — deliberately NOT including matched bytes

13 pattern families covered (GitHub PAT classic + 5 OAuth shapes +
fine-grained, Anthropic, OpenAI project/svcacct, MiniMax, Slack 5
variants, AWS access key + STS temp).

Phase 2b (docker-exec backend) will import secrets.ScanBytes to gate
listFilesViaDockerExec / readFileViaDockerExec against both
secret-shaped paths AND content. Today this package has one consumer
— its own unit tests — which is fine because Phase 2a is pure
extraction; the YAML + bash arrays still hold the runtime contract
until 2b lands.

Tests:
  - TestEveryPatternCompiles: pins all regex strings parse as RE2
  - TestNoDuplicateNames: prevents accidental shadowing
  - TestKnownPatternsAllPresent: pins the public set so a rename in
    one consumer doesn't silently widen the leak surface
  - TestPositiveMatches: table-driven, one fixture per pattern
  - TestNegativeShapes: too-short / wrong-prefix / prose / empty
  - TestScanString_NoOp: pins the zero-copy wrapper contract
  - TestMatch_NoRoundtrip: pins that Match doesn't carry secret bytes

Subject: [PATCH 05/16] feat(canvas): /agent-home root option + secret-shape
 denial placeholder (internal#425 Phase 3)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Phase 3 of the Files API roots RFC. UI-side wiring for the new
/agent-home root. Backend dispatch is the Phase 2b PR (#TBD) — until
that lands, /agent-home returns the 501 stub from #1247, which the
existing error banner already surfaces gracefully.

Changes:

1. canvas/src/components/tabs/FilesTab/FilesToolbar.tsx — adds
   <option value="/agent-home">/agent-home</option> at the bottom
   of the root selector. Pre-Phase-2b the dropdown still works
   because the server-side 501 is just an error response — same
   error-banner path as a transient backend failure.

2. canvas/src/components/tabs/FilesTab.tsx — new
   defaultRootForRuntime() function pins the initial root per-
   runtime per Hongming Decisions §2 (internal#425):

     - openclaw → /agent-home (the user-facing interesting state)
     - everything else → /configs (legacy default)

   FilesTab now reads workspace runtime from props.data?.runtime
   and threads it through to PlatformOwnedFilesTab. Undefined-
   runtime callers (legacy tests, pre-load states) default to
   /configs — matches today's behaviour, no surprise.

3. canvas/src/components/tabs/FilesTab/FileEditor.tsx — new
   SECRET_SHAPE_DENIED_MARKER export + denial-placeholder render
   path. When fileContent === marker, the editor renders a
   role=region placeholder instead of the textarea, so the matched
   bytes never enter a controlled input (DOM value, clipboard,
   inspector). Marker constant matches the canonical
   '<denied: secret-shape>' string the Phase 2b backend will emit.

   Also: /agent-home is read-only via isReadOnlyRoot until Phase
   2b decides write semantics. Until then, write attempts would
   201 with the 501 stub anyway, but blocking the textarea at the
   UI saves the user a round-trip + a confusing error.

Tests (canvas/src/components/tabs/FilesTab/__tests__/agentHome.test.tsx):

  - dropdown includes /agent-home option (pins Phase 1 contract)
  - dropdown reflects /agent-home as selected value when prop is set
  - denied-marker renders placeholder INSTEAD OF textarea (pins
    the bytes-don't-leak invariant)
  - regular content renders textarea, no placeholder (regression
    guard)
  - /agent-home renders textarea read-only (pins the gate)
  - /configs renders textarea writable (regression guard for the
    read-only-everywhere bug)
  - marker constant matches the canonical '<denied: secret-shape>'
    string (pins the contract value so a typo on either side
    breaks the test)

vitest run on FilesTab + new tests: 47 tests passed, 3 files. tsc
--noEmit clean for all edited / created files (the pre-existing TS
errors in FilesTab.test.tsx are unchanged and unrelated).

Refs internal#425.

Subject: [PATCH 06/16] fix(handlers): drain detached async goroutines before
 test db.DB swap (data race)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Root cause: platform/internal/db.DB is a swappable package global.
setupTestDB (+ peer test helpers) saves/restores it via t.Cleanup, but
production code spawns fire-and-forget goroutines (maybeMarkContainerDead/
preflightContainerHealth -> RestartByID -> runRestartCycle, logA2ASuccess/
Failure activity logging, gracefulPreRestart, sendRestartContext) that
read db.DB. These detached goroutines outlive the test that triggered
them and race the db.DB pointer write in a LATER test's cleanup —
WARNING: DATA RACE on platform/internal/db.DB, surfaced deterministically
by PR#1240's expanded A2A test corpus on staging (a sibling of the
mc#664/mc#774 Phase-3-masked handler-test family). Pre-existing since
be5fbb5a (2026-05-07); NOT introduced by #1240/#1250.

Fix:
- Convert the leaked raw `go ...` restart/a2a-logging goroutines to the
  existing tracked h.goAsync (asyncWG) — matches the already-correct
  site at a2a_proxy.go:648 and goAsync's documented intent.
- Wire the never-connected test-drain half: a newHandlerHook (nil in
  prod, zero cost) lets the test harness register every handler;
  setupTestDB's cleanup now drains all tracked async goroutines BEFORE
  restoring db.DB, eliminating the race window.

Verified: full `go test -race -timeout ./...` (CI step) green, 0 races,
0 failures; the 8 originally-failing tests pass -race -count=5.

Subject: [PATCH 07/16] harden(provisioner): denylist SCM-write tokens from
 tenant workspace env (forensic #145)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tenant workspace containers run agent-controlled code and must never
receive a Git SCM write credential — agents structurally lacking
merge/approve creds is why the two-eyes review gate is self-bypass-proof
against forged-approval injection.

Latent path: handlers.loadPersonaEnvFile() merges a per-role persona
GITEA_TOKEN into cfg.EnvVars when MOLECULE_PERSONA_ROOT is set on a
tenant host; it then flowed unfiltered through buildContainerEnv()
(local Docker) and CPProvisioner.Start() (tenant EC2). Inert today
(persona dirs are operator-host-only) but unguarded — and the
pre-existing TestBuildContainerEnv_CustomEnvVarsAppended test actually
asserted GITHUB_TOKEN passed through verbatim.

Adds a narrow, auditable exact-match denylist (isSCMWriteTokenKey:
GITEA/GITHUB/GH/GITLAB/GL/BITBUCKET _TOKEN) applied by construction in
both env paths, plus negative-assertion tests covering the normal path
and a persona-file-merge simulation. Non-credential persona identity
(GITEA_USER, GITEA_USER_EMAIL) is intentionally preserved. No
provisioner refactor.

Tracking: molecule-ai/internal#438

Subject: [PATCH 09/16] fix(tokens): make Workspace Tokens tab sentinel-aware +
 reject non-UUID workspace id
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Settings → Workspace Tokens 500'd whenever opened with no canvas node
selected. SettingsPanel passes the literal sentinel "global" as the
workspace id; the backend queries the uuid `workspace_id` column with
it → Postgres `invalid input syntax for type uuid: "global"` → opaque
500 ("failed to list tokens"). Token create in that view broke the same
way. SecretsTab already handles the sentinel (api/secrets.ts reroutes
"global" → /settings/secrets); TokensTab did not — that asymmetry was
the bug. Pre-existing since 2026-04-13, NOT a regression.

Frontend (user-visible fix): TokensTab is now sentinel-aware like
SecretsTab. When workspaceId === "global" (no node selected) it no
longer calls /workspaces/global/tokens — it renders a clean state
pointing the user to the Org API Keys tab (the existing org-wide
surface). No 500, no scary error banner. The red account "Error" in
this view was just this 500 surfacing through TokensTab's local error
banner; it resolves with this guard (verified in code — no separate
widget).

Backend (defense-in-depth, same PR): List/Create/Revoke validate
c.Param("id") as a UUID up front and return 400 {"error":"invalid
workspace id"} instead of leaking a DB type error as a 500. Added the
missing log.Printf on the List query-error branch — it was the only
token handler silently swallowing the DB error, which is why this
incident had zero log trail. Mirrors the uuid.Parse guard already in
handlers/activity.go.

Workaround (pre-merge): select a workspace node before opening the
tab, or use the Org API Keys tab.

Product note for CTO: there is no /workspaces/global/tokens endpoint
(workspace tokens are inherently per-workspace; the org-wide
equivalent is the separate Org API Keys tab), so — unlike SecretsTab
which reroutes to a real global-secrets endpoint — the lowest-risk
safe behavior was a disabled state + pointer to Org API Keys rather
than a reroute. Flag if a different UX is wanted.

Tests: added TokensTab sentinel tests (no API call + Org-pointer) and
a backend table test asserting List/Create/Revoke 400 on non-UUID id
without hitting the DB. Updated existing token handler tests to use
valid UUIDs (they used "ws-1" etc.).

Subject: [PATCH 10/16] =?UTF-8?q?fix(canvas):=20make=20Settings=E2=86=92Se?=
 =?UTF-8?q?crets=20reveal=20honest=20(value=20is=20write-only)?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The eye/RevealToggle in SecretRow was a dead affordance: it flipped a
local `revealed` boolean but the row always rendered `masked_value` and
never consumed it, so nothing was ever revealed. RevealToggle renders an
eye-WITH-SLASH when revealed=true, so a clicked row looked "active" while
showing nothing — read by users as "this doesnt work" (reported on
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN / Anthropic group).

Root cause is not Anthropic/OAuth/category-specific and not a server
4xx/5xx: secret values are write-only from the browser by design — the
server List handler "Never exposes values", there is no per-secret
decrypt route, and the only decrypted path (GET /secrets/values) is bulk
+ token-gated for remote agents and never called by canvas. The client
has no plaintext-fetch function. Reveal is architecturally impossible
without a deliberate security regression (out of scope).

Fix: remove the dead toggle (+ its local state / auto-hide effect) and
show a static write-only indicator (lock + explanatory title). Edit
(rotate/replace) and Delete are unaffected and independent of reveal.

Refs: internal#490; sibling Secrets/Tokens fixes PR #1415 + #1420
(referenced in triage as internal#210 / internal#211). Does not touch
the agent-error path (internal#212).

Subject: [PATCH 11/16] fix(canvas): Secrets "Test" reports honest error
 instead of fake "timed out"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Secrets test button calls POST ${PLATFORM_URL}/secrets/validate, a
route that has never been implemented on the workspace-server router
(router.go registers /secrets, /secrets/values, /settings/secrets,
/admin/secrets — no /secrets/validate) nor on the Next.js canvas. Live
probe: POST /secrets/validate → HTTP 404 in 0.28s (a fast 404, not a
network timeout).

request() throws ApiError(404); TestConnectionButton's bare `catch {}`
swallowed it and unconditionally rendered the hardcoded string
"Connection timed out. Service may be down." — factually wrong and
indistinguishable from a real outage or a token rejection.

Minimal fix (same "make the dead affordance honest" approach as the
reveal control, internal#490 / PR#1421): bind the caught error and
surface the real failure — distinguish "validation not available"
(404/501), a non-404 server error (with status), and a genuine
connectivity failure. No speculative server-side validate endpoint.

Subject: [PATCH 12/16] fix(workspace-server): actionable error when EIC
 config.yaml write is deadline-killed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When the per-op context deadline (eicFileOpTimeout=30s) fires,
exec.CommandContext SIGKILLs the ssh subprocess and Run() returns the
bare "signal: killed" with empty stderr. That surfaced to the canvas
Settings/Config tab as an opaque
`500 {"error":"ssh install: signal: killed ()"}` — giving the operator
no signal that the workspace was simply mid-provision with a slow/unready
EIC tunnel (internal#423; recurred 2026-05-17 on claude-code ws
3b81321b, blocking config save).

Detect context abortion explicitly and return a message that names the
cause and points at the Settings -> Secrets encrypted-write path (which
does NOT use this EIC file-write path) as the unblock for applying
provider credentials. The EIC mechanism, timeout value, and success
path are unchanged — this only improves the error a stuck write emits.

Refs internal#423. Same Settings-area opaque-500 theme as #1420.

Subject: [PATCH 13/16] fix(registry): reconcile agent_card identity from
 trusted workspaces row (internal#492)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The runtime builds its AgentCard from config.name, which the
CP-regenerated /configs/config.yaml sets to the raw workspace UUID — so
/registry/register stored (and /.well-known/agent-card.json + peer
agent_card_url served) a card with name=<uuid>, description="",
role=null, even though the operator-controlled workspaces.name DB
column holds the friendly name the canvas shows ("Claude Code Agent").
Fleet-wide; live registry confirmed name=UUID for ws 3b81321b while
workspaces.name="Claude Code Agent".

Server-side, platform-controlled repair at the register upsert: when the
runtime-supplied agent_card.name is empty or equals the workspace UUID,
substitute the trusted workspaces.name; default a blank description from
the reconciled name; default role from workspaces.role. Gaps are only
FILLED — a card already carrying a real friendly name (external channel
agents) is never downgraded; malformed/edge cards are stored verbatim
(no-worse-than-before). Identity stays platform-sourced from the
operator-controlled DB row — the agent gains no self-edit. Works for all
runtimes without touching every template or the CP generator. The
WORKSPACE_ONLINE broadcast now carries the reconciled card so the canvas
live-updates with the friendly name.

Pure helper (agent_card_reconcile.go) is exhaustively unit-tested
without DB/HTTP. Upstream CP config.yaml regeneration, the missing role
key in the runtime register payload, and an editable description/skills
surface are RFC-scoped in internal#492.

+// agent_card_reconcile.go — server-side repair for the fleet-wide
+// agent-card identity gap.
+//
+// Root cause: the runtime builds its AgentCard from config.name
+// (workspace/main.py:198), and config.name is read from the
+// CP-regenerated /configs/config.yaml whose `name:` field is the raw
+// workspace UUID — NOT the friendly name the operator sees. The friendly
+// name IS captured: POST /workspaces and PATCH /workspaces/:id (the
+// canvas Details tab) write it to the trusted workspaces.name DB column.
+// But /registry/register stores the runtime-supplied card verbatim
+// (registry.go: `agent_card = EXCLUDED.agent_card`), so the stored card
+// served at /.well-known/agent-card.json and returned to peers via
+// agent_card_url ends up with name = UUID, description = "", role = null.
+//
+// Fix shape (deliberately minimal, no contract weakening): when the
+// runtime-supplied card's `name` is empty or equals the workspace UUID
+// (the placeholder the runtime had no better value for), the PLATFORM —
+// not the agent — substitutes the friendly value from the trusted
+// workspaces row. Identity stays platform-controlled: the agent never
+// gains the ability to self-set its own name/role; the platform sources
+// it from the operator-controlled DB column. We only ever FILL gaps
+// (empty / UUID-placeholder); a card that already carries a real
+// friendly name is never downgraded.
+//
+// list_peers / the /registry/:id/peers endpoint already resolve display
+// names from workspaces.name directly (discovery.go / mcp_tools.go
+// `SELECT w.id, w.name, ...`), so peer_name in delivered message tags
+// was already correct — this fix closes the remaining surface: the
+// agent_card blob itself (canvas Agent Card / Skills view, peer
+// agent_card_url fetches, the well-known card).
+//
+// description / role degrade discovery the same way: an empty
+// description and null role give peers nothing to reason about. We
+// default description from the (now reconciled) name when blank and
+// role from workspaces.role when the operator set one.
+
+// reconcileAgentCardIdentity patches identity gaps in a runtime-supplied
+// agent card from the trusted workspace DB row. It returns the
+// (possibly rewritten) card bytes and whether anything changed. On any
+// failure (malformed JSON, nothing to fill) it returns the input bytes
+// unchanged with changed=false so the caller can store them verbatim —
+// this is strictly no-worse-than-before, never a regression.

A2A peer_agent delegation delivery has been 100% broken fleet-wide since
2026-05-12. Delegate() ran the fire-and-forget executeDelegation goroutine
on c.Request.Context(); the handler returns HTTP 202 immediately, which
cancels that context, so every DB op + proxy call in the detached
goroutine failed `context canceled` the instant the response was written.
lookupDeliveryMode swallowed the resulting error and silently defaulted to
push, skipping the poll-mode short-circuit that writes the a2a_receive
inbox row — so poll-mode peers (e.g. hongming-pc) never received messages
and push-mode peers hit the #190-style self-echo timeouts. Introduced by
ce2db75f ("handlers: pass cancellable context through executeDelegation").

Primary fix (delegation.go): derive the goroutine context via
context.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), 30*time.Minute). WithoutCancel
detaches request cancellation/deadline while preserving all ctx values
(trace/correlation/tenant ids the proxy + broadcaster read). This is the
established pattern in this package (a2a_proxy.go:850,
a2a_proxy_helpers.go:525, registry.go:822); the 30m budget matches the
pre-ce2db75f internal budget and the proxy's own agent-dispatch ceiling.

Secondary fix, surgical (a2a_proxy_helpers.go + a2a_proxy.go), RFC#497
fail-closed theme: lookupDeliveryMode no longer swallows a *context*
error (context.Canceled / context.DeadlineExceeded) into a silent push
default — it propagates so the caller fails closed with a structured 503.
Scope deliberately narrowed to ctx errors only: generic DB errors retain
the long-standing documented fail-open-to-push contract (loud + recoverable
502/SSRF/restart, unlike the silent poll drop), so checkWorkspaceBudget's
intentional fail-open and the existing suite are unaffected. Widening
further is an RFC#497 follow-up, not part of this P0.

Regression tests:
- TestDelegate_DetachedContext_SurvivesRequestCancellation: detached ctx
  outlives request cancellation AND preserves parent values + deadline.
- TestLookupDeliveryMode_ContextCanceled_FailsClosed: ctx-cancelled
  delivery-mode read returns an error, never push.
- TestProxyA2A_PollMode_FailsClosedToPush: legacy non-ctx-DB-error
  fail-open-to-push contract preserved.

Full workspace-server/internal/handlers package suite passes (go test
-count=1), go build ./... and go vet clean.
