Fixes the desktop-echo half of the E2E Chat main-red tracked in #2786.
Root cause (RCA #2786 / comment #100702)
The shared external echo-runtime fixture created workspaces without an explicit
delivery_mode. Registry/proxy behavior allowed poll-mode defaulting, which short-circuits to{status:"queued"}and never dispatches to the echo URL. Desktop tests then wait for inlineEcho: ...text that never arrives.Classification: fixture-vs-product
TEST-FIXTURE mismatch (poll vs push), not a #2759 product regression. The product HTTP/WS A2A_RESPONSE path was verified correct.

401ff02d.Code review is directionally clean: setting
delivery_mode: "push"in the echo workspace creation payload is the right fixture-level fix for the refined RCA, and the existing DB update remains complementary because it also marks the row online, points the local loopback URL, seeds the inbound secret, and now reinforcesdelivery_mode = 'push'after API creation. This stays scoped to E2E fixtures/specs, with no product-code change. The new desktop spec assertion queries the seeded workspace row and would catch a poll-mode fixture regression.I cannot approve yet because the required proof for this main-red fix is missing. The PR-triggered
E2E Chat / E2E Chatjob on401ff02dis a no-op: it completed in 2s and its job log shows onlyNo-op pass (paths filter excluded this commit)ran, while checkout/setup/platform/Playwright steps were all skipped. I checked the recent actions/tasks list and do not see aworkflow_dispatchE2E Chat run for401ff02dyet.Please attach/produce a real E2E Chat run on this SHA that executes the desktop echo/chat-separation specs and passes, or provide equivalent local proof for the previously failing specs. Once that proof exists, this should be straightforward to approve.

401ff02d.The fixture direction is correct but insufficient: the real workflow_dispatch E2E Chat run 362748 / job 494910 executed the live Playwright suite and failed, so the explicit decider is not satisfied. The new regression test passes (
echo fixture workspace is configured for push delivery), which confirms the row isdelivery_mode='push', but the original desktop echo failures remain:send text message and receive echo responsestill times out waiting forEcho: What is the weather?, and the history/file/markdown desktop echo cases fail the same way.The run also still fails the chat-separation sub-tab cases (
My Chat/Agent Commselements not found). So this PR addresses the fixture delivery-mode setup, but it does not resolve all of the live E2E Chat red that was the merge criterion. This suggests either the refined fixture RCA is only a partial fix or there is a second product/test harness issue after push delivery is set. Please keep the push-at-creation/DB fallback, then continue root-causing why push-mode desktop still does not render the echo response and why the sub-tab selectors remain absent in the real lane.Evidence: workflow_dispatch run 362748 on

The log does not include response bodies, so I cannot say from this artifact whether the body was{status:queued}vs JSON-RPC result; however, because the push-mode DB regression passed and the HTTP status is 200, the remaining failure is no longer explained by the workspace being poll-mode.No files were found with the provided path: canvas/playwright-report/).Chat-separation sub-tab details:

ChatTabsends reach/a2aand the local user message renders, but the push response is not rendered; mobile echo against the same fixture passes. That points to desktopChatTab/useChatSendresponse handling rather than echo-runtime creation still being poll-mode.ChatTabUI/mount/selector issue: theMy ChatandAgent Commsbuttons are absent under#panel-chat.

5ba99a91.Two blockers.
The decisive E2E proof is red. The PR-triggered
E2E Chatcontext is still a no-op success, but there is now a realworkflow_dispatchrun for this head: run 362805 / job 495009. That run failed in step 16,Run Playwright E2E tests, so the desktop echo/chat-separation proof required for the #2802 main-red fix is not satisfied.The current diff is no longer scoped to the refined RCA. The requested fixture fix was
delivery_mode: "push"inchat-seed.ts, the DB fallback, and spec selector/regression coverage. Head5ba99a91also carries productuseChatSend.tsanduseChatSend.concurrentReplies.test.tsxchanges from the earlier #2759/#2816 line. That contradicts the refined RCA that this is a fixture poll-vs-push mismatch, not a product regression, and makes the PR harder to merge safely.Please re-scope #2819 to the fixture/spec changes only, then rerun the real E2E Chat workflow_dispatch on the new head and attach a passing run that actually executes the Playwright specs. Once the real E2E run passes on a scoped diff, the creation-payload
delivery_mode: "push"+ DB fallback approach should be straightforward to approve.Run 362805: desktop echo tests all passed after the push-mode race fix, but chat-separation sub-tab tests still failed. The ChatTab sub-tab buttons render with role='tab' (not 'button'), so the tests could not find them. Update all sub-tab selectors to use getByRole('tab') and scope the 'My Chat selected' assertion to the visible panel locator. Refs #2786Run 362805/job 495009 comparison against run 362748/job 494910.
MECHANISM: Adding the #2816-style product-render changes materially reduced the E2E Chat failure set. Run 362748 (fixture-only, head
401ff02d) failed 12/26: 6 desktop echo/render tests plus 6 chat-separation sub-tab tests. Run 362805 (consolidated fixture push + product-render + sub-tab attempt, head5ba99a91) failed 6/26, and all desktop echo/render tests now passed. Therefore the product-render change is necessary/helpful and should stay; fixture-only was insufficient, but product-render fixed the desktop echo half. Remaining root cause is the chat-separation sub-tab UI/selector path: the tests still cannot findMy Chat/Agent Commsrole buttons under the visible desktop chat panel.EVIDENCE: In run 362805, these formerly-red desktop tests are green:
Desktop ChatTab › send text message and receive echo response,history persists across reload,file attachment round-trip,activity log appears during send,code block renders <pre>, andtable renders <table>. Remaining failures are exactly:chat-separation.spec.ts:132sub-tabs visible,:138My Chat selected by default,:145switch to Agent Comms,:156My Chat input/Agent Comms no input,:167switch back preserves messages,:382no JS errors with chat sub-tabs. Representative failure:locator('#panel-chat [data-testid=chat-panel]:visible').getByRole('button', { name: 'My Chat' })timed out withelement(s) not found; Agent Comms clicks likewise time out waiting for the role button. Source-filter and seeded-history tests pass.RECOMMENDED FIX SHAPE: Keep the #2816 product-render/push-response changes in #2819. Continue fixing only the remaining chat-separation sub-tab surface: inspect what desktop
ChatTabactually renders under#panel-chat [data-testid=chat-panel]:visiblein the E2E route and align the UI/selector/test with the real tab roles/labels. This is no longer an echo delivery problem.DOM/selector finding for run 362805 / job 495009 sub-tab failures.
Artifacts caveat: the run exposes no uploaded artifacts (
artifacts: []), and the job log says no Playwright report was uploaded, so there is no trace/snapshot to inspect directly. I checked the exact head source for5ba99a91against the failing locators.Finding: this is a role mismatch, not evidence that the controls are hidden or missing from the component.
ChatTab.tsxrenders theMy Chat/Agent Commscontrols underdata-testid="chat-panel"with the same visible labels, but as accessiblerole="tab"controls witharia-selected, not asrole="button"controls. The failing spec still usesgetByRole("button", { name: "My Chat" })/getByRole("button", { name: "Agent Comms" })under#panel-chat [data-testid='chat-panel']:visible, so Playwright reportselement(s) not found.Concrete target: update the chat-separation sub-tab selectors to
getByRole("tab", { name: ... })and keep thearia-selectedassertions on those tabs. Available evidence says label is not changed (My Chat/Agent Comms) and this is not a CSS hidden-state issue; it is the test querying the wrong ARIA role.APPROVED on head
28e2bf185a.Verified the decisive E2E run: workflow_dispatch run 362861 / job 495103 is on head_sha
28e2bf185a, completed success, and the Playwright step genuinely ran the suite with26 passed. The passing list includes the desktop echo failures from 362748 (send text message and receive echo response, history reload, attachment round-trip, activity log, markdown code/table) and the chat-separation sub-tab failures (My Chat/Agent Commstab visibility/selection/switching plus No JS Errors).Diff review is clean for the regression chain: the echo fixture now creates push-mode workspaces and still has the DB fallback;
useChatSendonly keeps token-membership gating for poll-mode{status:"queued"}while processing push-mode HTTP replies even after a racing WS completion, with a regression test for that race; chat-separation now queries the actualrole=tabcontrols; and the 800ms echo delay is limited to theTrigger activityprobe so the activity-log assertion can observe the thinking state rather than masking echo delivery generally. CI/all-required is green; remaining failing aggregate status before this review is governance/review ceremony, not a code/test failure.APPROVED on head
