Harden the staging SaaS lifecycle E2E toward a HARD merge-gate (CTO "no non-gating CI / real-e2e gate"). continue-on-error left in place — promotion is the CTO's call.

False-green / flake mechanisms fixed (test_staging_full_saas.sh):

• Peer-discovery fail-open — only 404 was caught; 5xx/000/empty fell through to "reachable", and 2>&1|head -1 could capture a curl stderr line as the status → route %{http_code} to its own file, require explicit 2xx.
• Activity-log validated-nothing — || echo '[]' swallowed a 5xx into an empty list, count only logged → assert 2xx + parseable JSON (not count>0; 0 events is a valid early state).
• Child-provenance soft-green — "did not reference parent" logged once, passed regardless → bounded readiness-poll for the parent ref, hard-fail on deadline.
• Fail-closed-on-skip — added E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE (mirrors CP serving-e2e): milestones (provisioned/tenant_online/workspace_online/a2a_roundtrip, the last stamped only after the real-completion assert) must all fire or require_live_or_die exits 5. Wired into both CI jobs.

Existing provision/TLS/online waits confirmed already fail-closed bounded-polls (cp#245 class handled). New offline unit test test_require_live_guard_unit.sh (7/7) wired into ci.yml. Coordinated to avoid PR #2274's model/502 lines. bash -n+shellcheck clean. PROMOTION-READINESS block added: residual blocker is the de-flake window (N green runs) + the bp wiring (CTO's call).

test(e2e): harden staging-saas lifecycle E2E fail-closed (promotion-readiness) ... f0dec49793

Removes the harness-side false-green / un-named-flake mechanisms so
`E2E Staging SaaS` + `E2E Staging Platform Boot` can become HARD merge-gates.
Does NOT flip continue-on-error (CTO's irreversible branch-protection call) —
adds a PROMOTION-READINESS block listing what's now fail-closed + what still
blocks promotion-to-required.

False-green / fail-open mechanisms fixed (each with a named mechanism):

1. Peer-discovery (9b) fail-open: `[ "$PEERS_CODE" = "404" ] && fail` only
   caught route-missing — a 5xx / 000 / empty capture all read as "reachable".
   Also `2>&1 | head -1` could capture a curl stderr line as the status.
   Fix: route http_code to its own tempfile, require an explicit 2xx; a
   non-2xx now hard-fails (mechanism: broken-but-present route ≠ healthy).

2. Activity-log (9b) "validated nothing": `|| echo '[]'` swallowed a 5xx /
   network failure into an empty list, then the count was only logged, never
   asserted — the step exited 0 having validated nothing. Fix: assert 2xx +
   parseable JSON shape (do NOT assert count>0 — 0 events early is a valid
   real state).

3. Child activity provenance (10) soft-green: "did not reference parent" was
   logged and the step passed regardless, so a broken provenance pipeline
   read as success. Fix: bounded readiness-POLL for the parent reference
   (E2E_CHILD_ACTIVITY_TIMEOUT_SECS, default 60s) — the real readiness signal,
   not a fixed sleep — then hard-fail with a named mechanism on deadline.

4. No fail-closed-on-skip guard: a future short-circuit / skip path could let
   the script reach its final `ok` and report GREEN having validated nothing.
   Fix: E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE (mirrors CP serving-e2e SERVING_E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE).
   Load-bearing lifecycle stages stamp milestones (provisioned / tenant_online
   / workspace_online / a2a_roundtrip — the last stamped only AFTER the
   real-completion gate, not the looser PONG check); require_live_or_die()
   exits 5 if any required milestone did not fire. CI sets E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE=1
   on both jobs (smoke mode still runs all four milestone stages).

The existing bounded readiness-polls (provision step 2, TLS step 4, online
step 7) already hard-fail on a named deadline — verified, not fixed-sleeps.

Verification (no live infra — full staging run is in CI):
- bash -n + shellcheck (-x, CI --severity=warning) clean on all touched files.
- New offline fail-direction unit test tests/e2e/test_require_live_guard_unit.sh
  proves the guard exits 5 when no live lifecycle ran and passes when all
  milestones fired (7/7). Wired into ci.yml "Run E2E bash unit tests".
- lint_cleanup_traps + existing completion/rc/model_slug unit tests still pass.

Coordination: avoids PR #2274's lines (model-slug default e2e-staging-saas.yml:175
/ lib/model_slug.sh, and the `error code: 502` retry grep) — confirmed no
protected pattern appears in the harness diff.

Reviewed: staging-saas lifecycle fail-closed — peer-discovery fail-open fix, activity-log validated-nothing fix, child-provenance poll, E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE guard. ci.yml change is only the bash-unit-test wiring (verified). CI green. Approve.

REQUEST_CHANGES: direct Gitea verification does not support approval at head f0dec49793.

Source-of-truth combined CI is failure across 30 contexts at the current head. I cannot post a counting approval while the PR is red/pending, even with an existing CEO Assistant approval. Please re-request CR2 review after CI is success on the current head; I will re-run the normal 5-axis review then.

APPROVED after re-review using branch-protection required contexts rather than combined status.

Required-context check: present required context(s) are green at head f0dec4979339; absent required contexts are path-filter absent for this PR. 5-axis review found no blocking issue.

Summary: Staging SaaS lifecycle hardening adds E2E_REQUIRE_LIVE guard and unit coverage for zero-validated failure.

Correctness/robustness: change adds targeted regression coverage or fail-closed behavior for the reported bug class. Security: no new secret exposure or auth broadening found. Performance: no concerning runtime cost. Readability: comments/tests are explicit about the incident class and gate semantics.
