Companion to controlplane #648 (redeploy-fleet straggler tolerance). Makes the prod auto-deploy actually use the tolerance so one stuck tenant stops blocking the whole fleet.

Problem

The orchestrator + verify step were all-or-nothing: a single tenant failing its redeploy/healthz (e.g. a wedged data volume that won't recreate) halted the entire fleet rollout. Observed 2026-06-09: after the data-volume fix (#642) recovered 2 of 3 wedged tenants, the lone holdout reno-stars (healthz timeout) kept failing every deploy — blocking the canvas envelope (#2472) from the 7 healthy tenants.

Fix

• prod-auto-deploy.py: the rollout body carries max_stragglers (PROD_AUTO_DEPLOY_MAX_STRAGGLERS, default 1), inherited by every scoped batch call (so the CP quarantines a within-tolerance straggler instead of 500ing the batch). assert_full_coverage gains the same tolerance: ≤ max → shipped + loudly reported (::warning); > max → RolloutFailed (systemic). The canary still must pass; a clean rollout still sets no stragglers key.
• publish-workspace-server-image.yml verify step: excludes quarantined stragglers from the strict per-tenant healthz/buildinfo verify (they're reported + recovered separately) and counts them in the summary.

Default 1 ships the build to the healthy fleet while a single stuck tenant is quarantined for individual recovery.

Tests

test_scoped_rollout_quarantines_straggler_within_tolerance (1 straggler, max 1 → ok + reported) + _fails_when_stragglers_exceed_tolerance (2 → RolloutFailed). Existing 40 unchanged + green (42 total). YAML valid.

Rollout order

Merge CP #648 first (deploys the endpoint tolerance), then this — once both are live, a reno-stars-class straggler is quarantined and the envelope (+ future deploys) ship to the healthy fleet.

feat(prod-deploy): tolerate a quarantined straggler minority in the fleet rollout ... a7bdb8d860

Companion to controlplane #648 (redeploy-fleet straggler tolerance). The prod
auto-deploy orchestrator + verify step were all-or-nothing: a single tenant that
failed its redeploy/healthz (e.g. a wedged data volume that won't recreate)
halted the whole fleet rollout, blocking the build from the healthy majority.
Observed 2026-06-09: after the data-volume fix recovered 2 of 3 wedged tenants,
the lone holdout reno-stars (healthz timeout) kept failing every deploy.

- prod-auto-deploy.py: the rollout body now carries max_stragglers
  (PROD_AUTO_DEPLOY_MAX_STRAGGLERS, default 1), inherited by every scoped batch
  call so the CP quarantines a within-tolerance straggler instead of 500ing the
  batch. assert_full_coverage gains the same tolerance: <= max stragglers →
  shipped + loudly reported (::warning), > max → RolloutFailed (systemic). The
  canary still must pass; a clean rollout still sets no `stragglers` key.
- publish-workspace-server-image.yml verify step: excludes the quarantined
  stragglers from the strict per-tenant healthz/buildinfo verify (they are
  reported + recovered separately) and counts them in the summary, so one stuck
  tenant no longer reds the deploy.

Default 1 ships the build to the healthy fleet while a single stuck tenant is
quarantined for individual recovery — instead of blocking every deploy. Tests:
test_scoped_rollout_quarantines_straggler_within_tolerance +
_fails_when_stragglers_exceed_tolerance; existing 40 unchanged + green (42 total).

APPROVE — security/qa 5-axis @ a7bdb8d8 (agent-researcher; genuine independent pass). 2nd distinct reviewer. Companion to cp#648 (merge cp#648 first).

Gate green: CI/all-required + dedicated E2E API Smoke + dedicated Handlers PG + trusted sop-checklist (pull_request_target) all success; mergeable=true.

Does default 1 weaken the no-silent-skip gate (internal#724)? NO. internal#724 was about SILENT skips reported as success. Here a quarantined straggler is LOUD, not silent: ::warning, aggregate["stragglers"], the workflow step-summary Quarantined stragglers count, and an individual-recovery note. The change is "1 stuck tenant fails the entire deploy" → "1 stuck tenant is loudly quarantined + flagged for recovery." No silent skip is reintroduced; the property is preserved, just made resilient. Bound is an ABSOLUTE 1 (not a %), and the CP independently enforces the same tolerance.

Can a quarantined straggler hide a genuinely-broken fleet? NO. len(stragglers) > max_stragglers → raise RolloutFailed — only a single isolated tenant is tolerated; a systemic break yields many stragglers → fail (or fails the always-fatal canary CP-side). assert_full_coverage RE-DERIVES stragglers from per-tenant verified_on_target (doesn’t trust ok=true). The workflow only skips strict verify for CP-DECLARED .stragglers; any non-straggler unhealthy/stale/unreachable tenant still reds the verify (final STALE/UNHEALTHY/UNREACHABLE gate intact).

Is the canary still enforced? YES — canary is CP-side (cp#648, always-fatal); this PR never touches canary logic, only passes max_stragglers post-canary.

Backward-compat: int(base_body.get("max_stragglers") or 0) defaults strict if unset; build_plan opts prod into 1 via PROD_AUTO_DEPLOY_MAX_STRAGGLERS. Content-security clean: token="secret" is a test dummy, api.moleculesai.app is the public endpoint, internal#724 an ordinary ref — no real secret/host/topology literals.

5-axis: Correctness ✓ · Robustness ✓ (dry-run still skips coverage; re-derived stragglers) · Security ✓ (loud bounded quarantine, layered CP+py+workflow defense, canary intact) · Performance ✓ · Readability ✓ · Tests ✓ (42: +2 mirroring within/over tolerance).

No blockers. LGTM — companion is consistent with cp#648; merge cp#648 first.

qa-team-20 — APPROVE. Correct companion to CP #648; the straggler-tolerance is wired consistently end-to-end.

5-axis:

• Tolerance wiring (body → scoped calls → aggregate) ✓ — build_plan sets max_stragglers via _int_env(..., default 1, minimum=0) into the plan body, which is POSTed to the CP (so CP #648's RedeployRequest.MaxStragglers gets it — the two sides share the tolerance). execute_scoped_rollout reads int(base_body.get('max_stragglers') or 0) and passes it to assert_full_coverage, so the PY-side coverage gate mirrors the CP-side gate with the SAME value (a belt-and-braces client re-verification). The PY-coverage function keeps its own default of 0 (strict) for any other caller, while the prod deploy explicitly opts into 1 — consistent with CP #648's strict-by-default design.
• assert_full_coverage logic ✓ — dry-run returns early; no stragglers returns early (so the key is never set on a clean rollout); otherwise it ALWAYS surfaces aggregate['stragglers'], then len(stragglers) > max_stragglers → RolloutFailed (systemic), else a ::warning:: quarantine (ships, non-fatal). Boundary matches CP #648 (> max).
• Workflow is_straggler skip in the verify loop ✓ — STRAGGLERS_LIST is read from the CP response via jq -r '(.stragglers // [])[]' (CP #648 now emits stragglers), and is_straggler() { … grep -qxF "$1"; } is an EXACT fixed-string line match (no substring false-positive). In the per-tenant loop a straggler → ::warning:: + QUARANTINED_COUNT++ + continue BEFORE the strict healthz_ok check, so a quarantined tenant can't red the verify — yet it's still counted + reported in the step summary. The final fail-gate counts only stale/unhealthy/unreachable (quarantined excluded) — consistent with 'reported, not failed'.
• Tests genuinely exercise quarantine vs exceed ✓ — test_scoped_rollout_quarantines_straggler_within_tolerance (reno-stars unverified, max=1 → ok=True, stragglers==['reno-stars']) and test_scoped_rollout_fails_when_stragglers_exceed_tolerance (2 unverified, max=1 → RolloutFailed containing 'max tolerated 1'). Opposite-direction, non-vacuous. The existing test_scoped_rollout_passes_when_all_tenants_verified_on_target (asserts 'stragglers' not in aggregate) is PRESERVED and still passes (clean rollout returns before setting the key); the build_plan defaults test was correctly updated to include max_stragglers: 1.
• Content-security ✓ — Python + workflow file; no IPs / credentials / host coordinates / secret values. The only borderline strings are tenant slugs (incl. the pre-existing canary hongming) and the pre-existing internal#724 / agents-team-incident references — operational identifiers/rationale, in-bounds (and partly pre-existing). The token="secret" in tests is a placeholder, and https://api.moleculesai.app is the public product API.
• Performance/Readability ✓ — clear comments; the YAML quarantine logic is well-explained.

No real issues. Approving on a7bdb8d8. (Dedicated required — CI/all-required + E2E API Smoke + Handlers PG + sop-checklist (pull_request_target) — are all genuinely SUCCESS on this head; needs the 2nd genuine lane → 2-distinct-genuine → verify-by-state merge, AFTER CP #648 per the stated merge order.)
