Symptom (prod tenant hongmingwang, 2026-04-22):
cp provisioner: console: unexpected 401
GET /workspaces/:id/console → 502 (View Logs broken)
Root cause: the tenant's CPProvisioner.authHeaders sent the provision-
gate shared secret as the Authorization bearer for every outbound CP
call, including /cp/admin/workspaces/:id/console. But CP gates
/cp/admin/* with CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN — a distinct secret so a
compromised tenant's provision credentials can't read other tenants'
serial console output. Bearer mismatch → 401.
Fix: split authHeaders into two methods —
- provisionAuthHeaders(): Authorization: Bearer <MOLECULE_CP_SHARED_SECRET>
for /cp/workspaces/* (Start, Stop, IsRunning)
- adminAuthHeaders(): Authorization: Bearer <CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN>
for /cp/admin/* (GetConsoleOutput and future admin reads)
Both still send X-Molecule-Admin-Token for per-tenant identity. When
CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN is unset (dev / self-hosted single-secret setups),
cpAdminAPIKey falls back to sharedSecret so nothing regresses.
Rollout requirement: the tenant EC2 needs CP_ADMIN_API_TOKEN in its
env — this PR wires up the code, but CP's tenant-provision path must
inject the value. Filed as follow-up; until then, operators can set
it manually on existing tenants.
