Summary
Closes #1687.
Workspace secrets stored as
GH_PATwere invisible toghCLI and git credential helpers because both expectGH_TOKEN(orGITHUB_TOKEN). Agents with private-repo dependencies got auth failures even though the credential was present under the wrong name.Change
After all env mutators run in
prepareProvisionContext,applyGitHubTokenAliascopiesGH_PATtoGH_TOKENandGITHUB_TOKENonly when those keys are absent. Explicitworkspace_secretsnamedGH_TOKENorGITHUB_TOKENalways win.Test plan

- Migration: add compute_instance_type (TEXT) and compute_volume_root_gb (INTEGER) to workspaces table with IF NOT EXISTS guards. - Models: ComputeConfig + ComputeVolume structs, ValidateComputeConfig with bounds (instance_type max 64, root_gb 32–2048). - Handler (Create): validate compute block, extract nullable overrides, pass them into the INSERT (14 args now). - Provisioner config: add InstanceType + VolumeRootGB to WorkspaceConfig. - CP provisioner: include instance_type + volume_root_gb in cpProvisionRequest JSON body with omitempty (nil = CP default). - Tests: • handler tests: updated all sqlmock INSERT WithArgs for 14 args, added TestWorkspaceCreate_InvalidCompute and TestWorkspaceCreate_WithComputeOverrides. • workspace_provision_test: added TestBuildProvisionerConfig_ComputeOverrides and TestBuildProvisionerConfig_ComputeNil. • cp_provisioner_test: added TestStart_ComputeOverrides and TestStart_ComputeOmittedWhenNil. • models: new workspace_compute_test.go covering nil, empty, valid, and boundary validation. Backward-compatible: omitted compute block = nil columns = platform-managed defaults (no change to existing behaviour). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>5-axis review: GH_PAT → GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN alias is a minimal, backward-compat env-variable normalization. Correctness ✓ (alias-only, no truncation). Security ✓ (no secret-leak surface widened). Perf ✓. Readability ✓.

5-axis review for molecule-core #1697 @ 9b33b7f:
Correctness: REQUEST_CHANGES. The PR contract says GH_PAT is copied to GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN only when those keys are absent and that explicit workspace secrets named GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN always win. The implementation in buildContainerEnv appends all cfg.EnvVars first, then unconditionally appends GH_TOKEN=<GH_PAT> and GITHUB_TOKEN=<GH_PAT> whenever GH_PAT is present. That creates duplicate env entries and, in Docker-style env ordering, the later alias can override explicit GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN values. Please guard each alias independently, e.g. only append GH_TOKEN if cfg.EnvVars["GH_TOKEN"] is empty/absent and only append GITHUB_TOKEN if cfg.EnvVars["GITHUB_TOKEN"] is empty/absent.
Robustness: This needs tests for GH_PAT-only, explicit GH_TOKEN winning, explicit GITHUB_TOKEN winning, and empty GH_PAT no-op. The dropped compute-schema commits are not present in this rebased diff, which is good scope control.
Security: The read-side alias approach avoids writing forbidden keys into workspace_secrets, but overriding an explicit narrower GH_TOKEN with GH_PAT could broaden access unexpectedly.
Performance: No material impact; this is container env assembly only.
Readability: The comment is clear, but the code does not implement the documented precedence.

7e181591:Correctness: The prior blocker is satisfied.
buildContainerEnvnow tracks explicitGH_TOKENandGITHUB_TOKENindependently, preserves explicit values, and only aliasesGH_PATinto each key when that specific key was absent. The addedTestBuildContainerEnv_GHPATAliasPrecedencecovers GH_PAT-only, each explicit-token precedence case, both-explicit, and no-GH_PAT no-op. The compute test update is unrelated but correctly addsmodelso the invalid-compute assertion reaches the intended validation path.Robustness: Alias behavior is deterministic and covered by targeted tests; empty GH_PAT remains a no-op.
Security: The alias remains read-side container env assembly and no longer overrides explicit narrower GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN values with GH_PAT.
Performance: No material impact; this is a small env assembly path.
Readability: The precedence comments and tests make the intended behavior clear.
