Root cause of `Auto-sync main → staging / sync-staging (push)`
failing every push to main since the GitHub→Gitea migration:

The workflow assumed a GitHub `merge_queue` ruleset on staging
(blocking direct push) and used `gh pr create` + `gh pr merge
--auto` to land sync via the queue. On Gitea this fails at the
`gh pr create` step with `HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed
(https://git.moleculesai.app/api/graphql)` — Gitea exposes no
GraphQL endpoint, and the GitHub-CLI cannot ship PRs against
Gitea.

Verified failure mode in run 1117/job 0 (token logs at
/tmp/log2.txt, run target /molecule-ai/molecule-core/actions/
runs/1117/jobs/0). The merge step succeeded and pushed
auto-sync/main-1e1f4d63; the PR step failed with the 405. So
every main push left an orphan auto-sync/* branch and a red CI
status, with no PR to land it.

Fix: the staging branch protection on Gitea
(`enable_push: true`, `push_whitelist_usernames:
[devops-engineer]`) already permits direct push from the
devops-engineer persona. Drop the entire merge-queue PR
architecture and replace with:

  1. Checkout staging with secrets.AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN
     (devops-engineer persona token, NOT founder PAT —
     `feedback_per_agent_gitea_identity_default`).
  2. `git fetch origin main` + ff-merge or no-ff merge.
  3. `git push origin staging` directly.

The AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN repo secret already exists (created
2026-05-07 14:00 alongside the staging push_whitelist update).
Workflow name + job name unchanged → required-check name
`Auto-sync main → staging / sync-staging (push)` keeps the
same context, no branch-protection edits needed.

Rejected alternatives (documented in workflow header):
- Reuse PR architecture via Gitea REST: ~80 LOC of API
  plumbing for no benefit; direct push works.
- GH_HOST=git.moleculesai.app: still calls /api/graphql,
  same 405; doesn't fix the root issue.
- Custom JS action: external dep for a 5-line `git push`.

Header comment in the workflow now documents:
- What this workflow does (SSOT for staging advancing).
- Why direct push (GitHub merge_queue → Gitea push_whitelist).
- Identity and token (anti-bot-ring per saved memory).
- Failure modes A–D with operator runbook for each.
- Loop safety (push to staging doesn't fire push:main → no
  recursion).

Verification plan: this fix-PR's merge to main is itself the
trigger; watch the workflow run on the merge commit and on
one follow-up trigger commit, expect both green.
