Second-round failure on the same test (run 25179171433):
register response: {"error":"hostname \"example.invalid\" cannot be resolved (DNS error)"}
HTTP_CODE=400
Root cause: registry.Register's resolveDeliveryMode was supposed to
default runtime=external workspaces to poll mode (PR #2382), in which
case validateAgentURL is skipped and example.invalid passes through.
But the freshly-provisioned staging tenant for this test was running
an older workspace-server image that lacked that branch — the implicit
default was still push, validateAgentURL ran, and the DNS lookup
400'd. Same image-drift class as the production bug seen on the
hongmingwang tenant 17:30Z (deployed image lagging main HEAD).
Fix: send delivery_mode="poll" explicitly. Eliminates the test's
dependence on resolveDeliveryMode's default branch being deployed.
Step 5b reframed: was "verify external→poll default working", now
"verify explicit-poll round-trips". The default-resolution behavior
is exercised by handler-level tests in registry_test.go, which run
against the SHA being merged (not whatever :latest happens to be on
the fleet). That's the right place for it — E2E should test what
users see, unit tests should pin what handlers compute. Pulling those
apart removes a class of "intermittent on staging, green locally"
failures.
The deeper bug — fleet redeploy + provision both can serve stale
images even when the tag has been republished — gets a separate
issue. This commit just unblocks the merge.
