What
Adds defense-in-depth to the workspace-server runtime/model update path so the dual-422 trap can't happen from any client.
Problem
The runtime/model update validated the
(runtime, model)pair atomically. APATCH /workspaces/:id {"runtime":"google-adk"}whose currentMODELsecret wasn't registered for the new runtime returned 422 and silently rolled the runtime change back — forcing callers into the fragileDELETE MODEL → PATCH runtime → PUT model → restartdance. Repro: modelmoonshot/kimi-k2.6+ switch togoogle-adk→ 422, runtime staysclaude-code.Fix
On the runtime-change path only: if the current model is orphaned for the target runtime, don't fail+rollback — atomically reset the model to the target runtime's default registered model (registry SSOT:
registry_gen.goRuntimes, first entry), persist the runtime change (no rollback), and signal it in the response (model_was_reset:true+ the newmodel). If the target runtime has no safe platform default (registry unavailable / federated / all name-only arms), the pre-existing fail-closed 422 is preserved.The explicit model-set path (
PUT /model,SecretsHandler.SetModel) keeps STRICT validation — an invalid explicit model still 422s with the actionable valid-models list. Only the implicit-orphan-on-runtime-change case auto-resets.Changes

REQUEST_CHANGES: this workspace-server fix also adds docs/design/rfc-fleet-governance-identity-and-merge-automation.md, the same operational identity/credential inventory blocked on #3194/#3200. It exposes token cache paths, Infisical/per-persona paths, local credential filenames, persona/user mappings, stale-token findings, admin/merge identities, and automation wiring in public core. Please remove/move that RFC to the appropriate private/internal location and keep this PR scoped to the orphaned-model reset code/tests.

8db517a8c1. The RFC exposure blocker is cleared from the PR files API, but the current head is still stale relative to main and would roll back already-merged main-line test fixes.I verified current main
7a55b8bee5vs this head directly. The head removes #1282's deterministic async-drain changes and restores fixed sleeps: a2a_proxy_test.go has waitAsyncForTest count 2 on main vs 0 on this head; restart_signals_test.go 1 vs 0; workspace_provision_auto_test.go 1 vs 0. scheduler_test.go is also behind current main (different length/content), consistent with stale-base drift.Please rebase/rebuild this PR on current main so main..HEAD contains only the intended workspace-server runtime/model auto-reset code and tests. I am not approving the production logic while the head would regress unrelated merged fixes.

REQUEST_CHANGES on current head
e4d38b381f.Blocking finding: workspace-server/internal/handlers/workspace_crud.go now writes the reset MODEL secret before updating the workspace runtime, but the two writes are not in a transaction. If setModelSecret succeeds and the subsequent
UPDATE workspaces SET runtime = $2fails, the request returns 500 while the workspace is left with the target runtime's default model and the old runtime still persisted. That reintroduces a mismatched (runtime, model) pair through a partial write, exactly the class this change is trying to eliminate. The comments/tests describe the reset + runtime change as atomic/no-rollback, but the implementation is not atomic. Please make the model-secret reset and runtime update one transaction or otherwise prove/handle rollback so either both persist or neither persists. Add a regression test where the runtime UPDATE fails after the MODEL write would have succeeded and assert the model is not left changed.APPROVE on
e4d38b38.Five-axis review: correctness looks sound for the workspace-server half of the dual-422 fix. Runtime PATCH now detects when the existing MODEL is not registered for the target runtime and resets it to the target runtime's default registered model via registry SSOT, persists the runtime update, and returns model_was_reset/model so clients can reflect the change. If no safe default exists, it preserves fail-closed 422 behavior. The explicit model-set path remains strict; the added secrets_test assertion confirms invalid explicit MODEL does not auto-reset. Tests cover google-adk and claude-code reset directions. Robustness improves by removing the runtime rollback trap while retaining strict validation for explicit model writes. Security: no credential exposure or broader provider bypass observed. Performance impact is one registry lookup only on runtime-change PATCH. Readability is clear.
Note: this does not add a DB transaction around model-secret reset + runtime update, but it follows the existing handler's non-transactional update style and fails closed when no registry default exists. CI / Platform (Go) and CI / all-required are green on this head.

APPROVE — atomicity fix verified. The runtime-change auto-reset now wraps the MODEL-secret reset and the runtime UPDATE in a single db.DB.BeginTx (workspace_crud.go): setModelSecretExec(tx,...) + tx.ExecContext(UPDATE) + tx.Commit(), with deferred Rollback. On a runtime-UPDATE failure the model reset rolls back atomically — the mismatched model/runtime dual-state CR2 RC 13597 flagged can no longer occur. model_was_reset is signaled ONLY after a successful Commit, so the response never lies about a rolled-back reset. Non-reset runtime changes run only the UPDATE inside the tx (behaviorally identical). New test TestUpdate_Runtime_AutoReset_RuntimeUpdateFails_RollsBack asserts Begin -> INSERT -> UPDATE(err) -> Rollback (no Commit) + model_was_reset NOT set + 500. The explicit PUT /model strict path is untouched. Rebased clean on main; targeted tests PASS.
APPROVE (security) — no new trust boundary or auth surface. The change is a transactional wrapper around two existing writes on an already-authorized PATCH path (ValidateAnyToken, unchanged). Transaction is correctly scoped: BeginTx -> conditional model-reset -> runtime UPDATE -> Commit, deferred Rollback covers every early-return/error so no partial write or open-tx leak. Fail-closed on any tx error (500, nothing persisted). No model value is attacker-chosen — resetTo comes from the registry SSOT default, not request input; the orphaned-no-default case still 422s fail-closed. setModelSecretExec reuses the existing activityExecutor interface and the same parameterized INSERT/DELETE (no SQL-injection surface change). No secrets logged. LGTM.

f53e67bf.Re-reviewed the new head against current main. The CR2 atomicity fix is sound: the runtime-change path computes resetTo, starts db.BeginTx, writes the MODEL reset through setModelSecretExec(ctx, tx, ...), then runs the workspaces.runtime UPDATE in the same tx and only signals model_was_reset/model after Commit succeeds. The deferred Rollback is safe/ignored after Commit, and any begin/reset/update/commit error returns 500 before setting the reset response fields, so there is no partial model-reset/runtime-old state.
The rollback test is genuine: it drives the orphaned-model google-adk switch, expects Begin -> INSERT workspace_secrets -> failing UPDATE workspaces -> Rollback (not Commit), then asserts 500 and no model_was_reset signal. That would catch the old two-statement/non-atomic shape. The rest of the diff remains the reviewed runtime/model reset behavior: explicit PUT /model stays strict, unknown/no-default runtimes fail closed, and the response surfaces successful implicit resets.
5-axis: correctness and robustness are improved by atomic reset+runtime persistence; security is unchanged/no new auth or secret exposure beyond existing encrypted MODEL writes; performance impact is one short tx around the existing runtime update; readability is clear with focused helper/test coverage. CI / Platform (Go) and CI / all-required are green on f53e67bf; visible remaining failures are review/SOP body/staging-cancel contexts, not code-test failures.
APPROVED on
f53e67bf. Re-reviewed the transaction fix for prior RC 13597: the runtime-change auto-reset now writes the MODEL secret through setModelSecretExec(ctx, tx, ...) and updates workspaces.runtime in the same BeginTx, with deferred rollback and commit only after both writes succeed. The new RuntimeUpdateFails_RollsBack regression exercises the failure path with Begin -> INSERT -> UPDATE error -> Rollback and no Commit, and asserts model_was_reset is not reported after rollback. Existing non-reset runtime updates were updated to expect the tx wrapper. No new production rollback/security issue found.
