Hongming Wang 829ab66462 mcp: support multi-workspace external-agent registration (PR-1)
External MCP agents (e.g. Claude Code installed on a company PC) can
now register against MULTIPLE workspaces from a single process — the
agent participates as a peer in workspace A (company) AND workspace B
(personal) simultaneously, with one merged inbox tagged so replies
route to the correct tenant.

Use case (verbatim from operator): "I have this computer AI thats in
company's PC, he is going to be put in company's workspace, but
personally, I want to register it to my own workspace as well, so
that I can talk to it and asking him to do work."

## What changed

**Wire format** — new env var:

  MOLECULE_WORKSPACES='[
    {"id":"<company-wsid>","token":"<company-tok>"},
    {"id":"<personal-wsid>","token":"<personal-tok>"}
  ]'

When set, mcp_cli iterates the array and spawns one (register +
heartbeat + inbox poller) trio per workspace. Single-workspace mode
(WORKSPACE_ID + MOLECULE_WORKSPACE_TOKEN) is unchanged — every
existing operator's setup keeps working bit-for-bit.

**Per-workspace token registry** (platform_auth.py):
  register_workspace_token(wsid, tok) — populated by mcp_cli once
  per workspace before any thread spawns; thread-safe registration
  + lock-free reads on the hot path. auth_headers(workspace_id=...)
  routes to the per-workspace token; auth_headers() with no arg
  uses the legacy resolution path unchanged (back-compat).

**Per-workspace inbox cursors** (inbox.py):
  InboxState now supports cursor_paths={wsid: Path,...}. Each poller
  advances its own cursor — one workspace's slow poll can't stall
  another, and a 410 only resets the affected workspace's cursor.
  Single-workspace constructor (cursor_path=Path(...)) still works
  exactly as before via __post_init__ promotion to the empty-string
  key. Cursor filenames disambiguated by workspace_id[:8] when
  multi-workspace; single-workspace keeps the legacy filename so
  upgrade doesn't invalidate on-disk state.

**Arrival workspace tagging** (inbox.py):
  InboxMessage.arrival_workspace_id — tells the agent which OF ITS
  workspaces the inbound message arrived on. Set by the poller from
  the cursor key. to_dict() omits the field when empty so single-
  workspace consumers see no shape change.

**Reply routing** (a2a_tools.py + a2a_mcp_server.py + registry.py):
  send_message_to_user(workspace_id=...) — optional override that
  selects which workspace's /notify endpoint to POST to (and which
  token authenticates). Multi-workspace agents pass the inbound
  message's arrival_workspace_id; single-workspace agents omit it
  and route to the only registered workspace via the legacy URL.

## Out of scope (future PRs)

- PR-2: cross-workspace delegation auto-routing — when an agent
  receives a request from personal-ws "delegate to ops-bot" and
  ops-bot lives in company-ws, the agent should auto-pick its
  company-ws identity for the outbound delegate_task. Today the
  agent must pass via_workspace explicitly (or fall through to
  primary workspace).
- PR-3: memory namespacing — commit_memory() still writes to the
  primary workspace's memory regardless of inbound context. Will
  revisit when the new memory system (PR #2733 just landed) settles.

## Tests

  workspace/tests/test_mcp_cli_multi_workspace.py — 24 new tests:
    * MOLECULE_WORKSPACES JSON parsing (valid + 6 error shapes)
    * Token registry register / lookup / rotation / clear
    * auth_headers routing by workspace_id with legacy fallback
    * Per-workspace cursor save/load/reset isolation
    * arrival_workspace_id present-when-set, omitted-when-empty
    * default_cursor_path namespacing

  All 110 pre-existing tests in test_mcp_cli.py / test_inbox.py /
  test_platform_auth.py still pass — back-compat is mechanical.
