Staging-e2e approval-gate flake fix (#2910)

Authored by Dev Engineer B (MiniMax) under PM dispatch; opened via operator (MiniMax POST /pulls is 403). Fixes #2910 (Researcher's SSOT diagnosis).

Fix (option a): mint a dedicated approval inside the grant subtest via a new secretWriteApprovalFlow helper, removing the shared parent-scope secretApprovalID so the grant path no longer self-skips when the negative-control subtest runs first. New test TestConciergeApprovalGate_Staging_OrderIndependent proves order-independence.

GATE — normal, NO bypass: 2-genuine review + CEO-Assistant personal diff-review. (Researcher reviewer just recovered; #2881 re-review is the throttled probe confirming the lane.)

fix(staging-e2e): TestConciergeApprovalGate_Staging subtest isolation (no shared parent-scope secretApprovalID) ... e373a9ebfa

Driver-endorsed freeze-work (test/coverage), PM dispatch aaa139d3.
Source: Researcher RCA finding.

The pre-fix test declared `var secretApprovalID string` at parent scope of
TestConciergeApprovalGate_Staging and the `secret_write_with_approval_succeeds`
subtest read from it. If the upstream rejection subtest was skipped or
failed before the assignment, the approval subtest silently t.Skip'd —
masking its own code path. Two subtests were also inherently coupled:
the order was implicit and a parallel-runner would race.

The fix:
1. Factor the gated-write → grant → retry → single-use flow into
   secretWriteApprovalFlow(t, host, token, orgID, ordinaryWS, key, value1, value2)
   — no parent-scope state. Each call mints its own approval_id and
   returns (approvalID, freshApprovalID).
2. Remove the parent-scope `var secretApprovalID string` declaration.
3. The rejection subtest (secret_write_without_approval_rejected) keeps
   its own check; the approval subtest now calls the helper and is
   self-contained — runs even if the rejection subtest is skipped.
4. Add a new top-level test TestConciergeApprovalGate_Staging_OrderIndependent
   that re-runs the helper twice with different secret keys and asserts
   the four approval_ids (approvalA1, freshA2, approvalB1, freshB2) are
   all distinct. This proves the helper has no parent-scope state and
   is order-independent.

Issue: #2911 (SSOT for the silent coverage gap and the fix rationale).
PR: companion to this branch, to be opened by operator per the
push→operator-PR fallback (POST /pulls is 403'd, write:issue-only).

Verification (green before push):
- go build -tags=staging_e2e ./internal/staginge2e/ → exit 0
- gofmt -l → clean
- go vet -tags=staging_e2e ./internal/staginge2e/ → exit 0

Gate: normal-gate per freeze rules. PR queues for 2-genuine review
when the reviewer pool firms up (Researcher recovering provisioning
→ online per PM dispatch aaa139d3 freeze note).

Holds unchanged: #2900/#2903/#30/#2821/#2891/#2892/#2894/#2895
untouched. #2900/#2903 still HELD for the driver personal A/B
review per the standing hold directive.

APPROVE (Root-Cause Researcher) — 5-axis review at head e373a9eb.

Conflict disclosure: I authored the referencing RCA #2910 (the diagnosis), not this code; reviewing MiniMax's implementation independently.

1. Correctness — fixes #2910. The parent-scope var secretApprovalID and the t.Skip("…did not capture an approval_id") guard are removed; the grant subtest now calls the self-contained secretWriteApprovalFlow, which mints its own approval_id. The masked-skip flake (grant path silently self-skipping when the rejection subtest was skipped/failed/reordered) is structurally eliminated — no shared state remains. Bonus: the reject vs grant paths now use disjoint keys (E2E_GATED_SECRET_REJECT vs E2E_GATED_SECRET_OK), removing latent key-collision coupling.

2. Test soundness. secretWriteApprovalFlow exercises the full gated-write→grant→retry→single-use path with explicit assertions at each step (202 pending_approval → decide approved → 200 saved → present in list → 2nd write 202 with a different approval_id). New TestConciergeApprovalGate_Staging_OrderIndependent calls the helper twice with unique keys and asserts no intra/cross-call id reuse. Solid id-independence coverage.

3. Security. Test-only, staging_e2e build-tag + STAGING_E2E=1 gated; no production code path. Strengthens coverage of the approval-gate security invariant (gated secret writes require approval; single-use). Net positive.

4. CI (verify-don't-trust). CI / all-required, CI / Platform (Go), and E2E Staging Concierge (compile+skip) are green → the file compiles under the staging tag. The two red E2E Staging SaaS (full lifecycle) jobs fail at Platform Boot — a stack-bring-up stage that runs before/independent of this build-tag-gated test; a test-only diff cannot cause it → environmental/infra, not attributable to this PR. Remaining reds (qa-review/security-review/gate-check-v3/sop-checklist) are review-gate aggregations that clear on approval. Merger: please confirm the staging-SaaS jobs are env (not merge-required) before merge.

5. Maintainability (non-blocking nits). (a) secretWriteApprovalFlow takes 7 positional string args — transpose-prone; a small params struct would be safer if callers grow. (b) The _OrderIndependent test proves order-independence via no-shared-state (two helper calls) rather than literal subtest reordering — valid proxy, name is slightly aspirational. (c) It provisions a full fresh tenant (~10-min TLS wait) — unavoidable cost of true isolation; fine for staging e2e. None block.

LGTM.
