Hongming Wang b47d4ceb00 feat(workspace-runtime): add inbox polling for standalone molecule-mcp path
The universal MCP server (a2a_mcp_server.py) was outbound-only — agents
in standalone runtimes (Claude Code, hermes, codex, etc.) could
delegate, list peers, and write memories, but never observed the
canvas-user or peer-agent messages addressed to them. This blocked
"constantly responding" loops without forcing operators back onto a
runtime-specific channel plugin.

This PR closes the inbound gap with a poller-fed in-memory queue and
three new MCP tools:

  - wait_for_message(timeout_secs?) — block until next message arrives
  - inbox_peek(limit?)              — list pending messages (non-destructive)
  - inbox_pop(activity_id)          — drop a handled message

A daemon thread polls /workspaces/:id/activity?type=a2a_receive every
5s, fills the queue from the cursor (since_id), and persists the cursor
to ${CONFIGS_DIR}/.mcp_inbox_cursor so a restart doesn't replay backlog.
On 410 (cursor pruned) we fall back to since_secs=600 for a bounded
recovery window. Activity-row → InboxMessage extraction mirrors the
molecule-mcp-claude-channel plugin's extractText (envelope shapes #1-3
+ summary fallback).

mcp_cli.main starts the poller alongside the existing register +
heartbeat threads. In-container runtimes (which have push delivery via
canvas WebSocket) skip activation, so inbox tools return an
informational "(inbox not enabled)" message instead of double-delivery.

Operational and one-off scripts for molecule-core. Most are self-documenting — see the header comments in each file.

RFC #2251 coordinator task-bound harnesses

There are three related scripts; pick the right one:

Script Purpose Targets
measure-coordinator-task-bounds.sh Canonical v1 harness for the RFC #2251 / Issue 4 reproduction. Provisions a PM coordinator + Researcher child via claude-code-default + langgraph templates, sends a synthesis-heavy A2A kickoff, observes elapsed time + activity trace. OSS-shape platform — localhost or any /workspaces-shaped endpoint. Has tenant/admin-token guards for non-localhost runs.
measure-coordinator-task-bounds-runner.sh Generalised runner for the same measurement contract but with arbitrary template + secret + model combinations (Hermes/MiniMax, etc.). Useful for cross-runtime variants without modifying the canonical harness. Same as above (local or SaaS via MODE=saas).
measure-coordinator-task-bounds.sh (in molecule-controlplane) Production-shape variant that bootstraps a real staging tenant via POST /cp/admin/orgs, then runs the same measurement against <slug>.staging.moleculesai.app. Staging controlplane only — refuses to run against production.

See reference_harness_pair_pattern (auto-memory) for when to use which and the cross-repo design rationale.

Common safety pattern across all three

  • Cleanup trap on EXIT/INT/TERM auto-deletes provisioned resources.
  • DRY_RUN=1 prints plan + auth fingerprint, exits before any state mutation. Run this before pointing at staging or any shared infrastructure.
  • Non-target guard refuses arbitrary endpoints (the controlplane variant is locked to staging-api.moleculesai.app; the OSS variant requires explicit auth + tenant scoping for non-localhost PLATFORM).
  • Cleanup failures emit cleanup_*_failed events with remediation hints; no silenced curl. ADMIN_TOKEN expiring mid-run surfaces as a structured event rather than a silent leak.

Activity trace caveat

If activity_trace.raw == "<endpoint_unavailable>", the per-workspace /activity endpoint isn't wired on the target build — the bound measurement is INCONCLUSIVE on the platform-ceiling question. Either wire the endpoint or replace with the equivalent Datadog query. Note that /activity accepts a since_secs query parameter; see the endpoint handler for the supported range.

Other scripts

  • cleanup-rogue-workspaces.sh — emergency teardown for leaked workspaces. Prompts for confirmation. Pair with the harnesses if a cleanup trap fails (see cleanup_*_failed events).
  • canary-smoke.sh — quick smoke test for canary releases.
  • dev-start.sh — local-dev platform bring-up.

The rest are self-documenting in their header comments.
