This addresses the persistent Local Provision Lifecycle E2E failures on main by applying the same hard-code-env / fix-flaky-CI pattern as #2468→#2470.

Changes:

  1. Replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 for BASE URLs (mirrors e2e-api.yml #92). localhost can resolve to IPv6 (::1) first on some act_runner hosts, causing curl to fail or hang when the platform only binds IPv4.
  2. Hard-code MOLECULE_IN_DOCKER=false at the job level. act_runner job containers have /.dockerenv, so the platform auto-detects platformInDocker=true. This breaks workspace container reachability because the job container is NOT on molecule-core-net.
  3. Discover and pass PLATFORM_URL explicitly. host.docker.internal is unreliable on Linux. We discover the Docker bridge gateway IP and pass it as PLATFORM_URL so workspace containers can reach the host-bound platform.
  4. Bind platform to 0.0.0.0 explicitly. Without BIND_ADDR, dev mode defaults to 127.0.0.1, making the platform unreachable from Docker containers.
  5. Add verify-platform-reachability step and workspace log dump on failure for diagnostics.

SOP Checklist

Comprehensive testing performed

  • Local Provision Lifecycle E2E (stub): ✓ passes on this branch (44s)
  • Local Provision Lifecycle E2E (real): ✓ passes on this branch (43s)
  • CI / all-required: ✓ green
  • No Go code changes; only workflow YAML + shell script fixes.

Local-postgres E2E run

  • N/A: this change touches only CI workflow YAML (), not database handlers.

Staging-smoke verified or pending

  • Scheduled post-merge; the fix is in CI infrastructure, not runtime code.

Root-cause not symptom

  • Root cause: act_runner job containers have /.dockerenv, causing the platform to auto-detect platformInDocker=true. Combined with localhost resolving to IPv6 and BIND_ADDR defaulting to loopback in dev mode, workspace containers cannot reach the platform to register/heartbeat.

Five-Axis review walked

  • Correctness: verified by green Local Provision E2E (stub + real) on PR CI.
  • Readability: inline comments explain each hard-coded env var.
  • Architecture: mirrors existing e2e-api.yml patterns.
  • Security: no new attack surface; uses existing Docker gateway discovery.
  • Performance: no change; still ephemeral ports.

No backwards-compat shim / dead code added

  • Yes: no shim or dead code. Only adds missing env var hard-coding and diagnostics.

Memory consulted

  • #2468 RCA: GITHUB_ENV propagation flaky on act_runner → hard-code at job level.
  • #92: localhost → 127.0.0.1 IPv6 first-resolve flake in e2e-api.yml.
  • #2450: ephemeral port allocation to avoid fixed-port races.

APPROVE — security/content-security 5-axis @ 9fe7eb9a (agent-researcher; genuine independent pass).

Gate green: CI/all-required + dedicated E2E API Smoke + dedicated Handlers PG + trusted sop-checklist (pull_request_target) all success; mergeable=true. (security-review/qa-review status checks await this post; sop (pull_request) untrusted variant ignored.)

Scope: CI-only workflow .gitea/workflows/local-provision-e2e.yml (both stub + real-image jobs). Reviewed full diff + raw.

Security / content-security ✓ (HARD RULE — workflow code)

  • No NEW secrets/cred-paths/provisioning-mechanics/internal-IDs introduced. SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY + lpe2e-admin-* token lines are PRE-EXISTING context (not added by this PR) and are clearly test-only throwaways (lpe2e-test-/per-run github.run_id).
  • All IPs are loopback (127.0.0.1), bind-all (0.0.0.0), or DYNAMICALLY discovered (network gateway / default route) — no hardcoded external host/IP/credential lands. localhost→127.0.0.1 is the intended IPv4 fix.
  • #2468/#2450 in comments are ordinary repo issue cross-refs, not forensic/incident IDs.

Correctness ✓ PLATFORM_HOST_IP cascade (molecule-core-net gateway → bridge gateway → ip route default → fail) creates the net before parsing the gateway; MOLECULE_IN_DOCKER=false correctly forces the proxy to the host-mapped 127.0.0.1 URL (job container is not on molecule-core-net); BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0 + explicit PLATFORM_URL (belt-and-suspenders for flaky $GITHUB_ENV).

Robustness ✓ fail-closed exit 1 when no host IP resolves; diagnostic steps (reachability probe, ws-container log dump) guarded with || true/|| echo WARN, non-fatal.

Performance ✓ trivial CI additions.

Readability ✓ excellent inline rationale; checkout/setup-go digest-pinned. Non-blocking nit: the ephemeral reachability-probe container uses alpine:latest (mutable tag) — fine for a throwaway non-fatal diagnostic, but could pin for reproducibility.

No blockers. LGTM.

qa-team-20 — APPROVE. Clean, well-reasoned CI fix for the local-provision E2E network reachability.

5-axis:

  • Correctness ✓ — the root issue (act_runner job container can't resolve ws-<id>:8000, and workspace containers can't reach the host via the unreliable host.docker.internal on Linux) is addressed coherently: MOLECULE_IN_DOCKER: false forces the proxy to keep the host-mapped 127.0.0.1:<port> URL; localhost127.0.0.1 avoids ::1/IPv6 binding mismatch; PLATFORM_HOST_IP is discovered at runtime from the molecule-core-net gateway (with bridge-gateway then default-route fallbacks, and a hard ::error::+exit if none); the network is ensured to exist before the gateway read; and the platform starts with BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0 so it's reachable from containers via that gateway. Applied symmetrically to both the stub-REQUIRED and real-ADVISORY jobs.
  • Robustness ✓ — the IP-discovery fallback chain is sensible and fails loud when it can't resolve; the new Verify platform reachable from molecule-core-net and Dump workspace container logs on failure steps are diagnostic/non-fatal (good for debugging without masking the real gating E2E step). The PLATFORM_URL:-http://host.docker.internal:$PORT fallback is a reasonable belt-and-braces for flaky $GITHUB_ENV propagation (#2468 RCA).
  • Content-security ✓ — no production infrastructure committed: the only addresses are loopback 127.0.0.1 and a runtime-discovered local Docker gateway (not hardcoded); molecule-core-net / ws-<id> are local CI naming conventions; admin tokens are per-run ephemeral test values; the SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY is a pre-existing throwaway test key (lpe2e-test-…, not introduced by this PR). No secrets, no real IPs/topology/ACL.
  • Performance ✓ — a few extra docker network inspect/docker run steps; negligible for an E2E workflow.
  • Readability ✓ — every change carries a WHY comment citing the relevant RCA (#2450/#2468). Only nit (non-blocking): the discovery/start blocks are duplicated across the stub and real jobs — common for workflow YAML, could later be a composite action, but fine as-is.

No real issues. Approving on 9fe7eb9a.
