Adds a `provision_workspace` MCP tool so an agent can provision a
workspace with a GUARANTEED runtime (claude-code/codex/hermes/openclaw/
langgraph/autogen/crewai/deepagents) via the correct PRODUCT create path
(POST /workspaces with template+runtime) — not the CP-direct
/cp/workspaces/provision path the orchestrator was forced to use.

Enforces the same fail-closed contract as molecule-controlplane#188 on
the agent-facing surface:
  1. Validate runtime against the supported set BEFORE any side effect.
  2. Create via the product path (template drives config/image).
  3. Read the workspace back and assert resolved runtime == requested;
     return a structured RUNTIME_MISMATCH/PROVISION_UNVERIFIED error
     (NOT a success) if the platform silently fell back to langgraph.

This makes the agent surface honest now; it does NOT replace the
required platform-side hard-gate (controlplane#188 + its workspace-
server sibling — each adapter stays runtime-specific, the platform is
the unified SSOT that must error+notify, never silent-advisory).

Refs: molecule-controlplane#188, #184 (CP-direct vs product-create
fidelity gap).

Extends the fail-closed provision_workspace tool with an optional
role_config { model, config_yaml } block so "create + apply-role-config
+ read-back-assert" is ONE fail-closed operation instead of two
separate, skippable steps.

Motivation (#218 prod-team defect): the 5 prod-team workspaces were
provisioned with the correct runtime but template-default role config
(generic name, Sonnet instead of the role's model, empty charter)
because per-role config was never applied as part of provisioning.

Mechanism (source-verified against molecule-core workspace-server):
- model      -> PUT /workspaces/:id/model (writes MODEL_PROVIDER
  workspace_secret; authoritative over config.yaml runtime_config.model
  per the claude-code adapter resolution order; auto-restarts). The
  effective model is read back via GET /workspaces/:id/model and
  ASSERTED == requested; a write-ack is never trusted as success.
- config.yaml -> PUT /workspaces/:id/files/config.yaml (name,
  description/charter, runtime_config.model, required_env; written via
  EIC to the workspace EC2 + auto-restarts). NOT read-back-asserted
  due to the documented PUT/GET path asymmetry (molecule-core
  tests/e2e/test_staging_full_saas.sh) — the model read-back is the
  authoritative effective-config gate.

Fail-closed surface: ROLE_CONFIG_FAILED (write error, with phase),
ROLE_CONFIG_MODEL_MISMATCH (effective model != requested after
read-back). role_config_applied is always present in the result so a
caller cannot mistake a runtime-only provision for a fully-configured
role.

Tests: +3 (success path, model-mismatch fail-closed, role_config
absent). Full suite green: 136 passed, 1 skipped.

REQUEST_CHANGES

5-axis review:

Correctness: The core fail-closed guarantee is bypassed for external, kimi, and kimi-cli. After read-back, requestedIsByo disables the mismatch check entirely, so a request for kimi/kimi-cli/external that is silently provisioned as langgraph will still return { ok: true, provisioned: true }. That is the exact class of silent fallback this tool is meant to prevent. Please only allow documented/intentional normalization values for BYO runtimes, and still fail when the resolved runtime is unrelated, especially langgraph.

Robustness: Unsupported runtime validation before side effects is good, and the role-config model read-back is a useful guard. The BYO mismatch skip makes the most important verification non-idempotently misleading because the wrong workspace already exists.

Security: No new auth or secret handling issue found.

Performance: One create plus bounded read-back/config calls is acceptable for provisioning.

Readability: The handler is well documented, but the BYO comment does not justify accepting any resolved runtime as success.

Approved. Verified CI / all-required is green. The provision_workspace tool validates supported runtimes before side effects, creates through the product workspace path, read-back asserts the resolved runtime, and read-back asserts role_config model application; tests cover unsupported runtime, fallback mismatch, unverifiable runtime, BYO runtime, and model mismatch paths.

REQUEST_CHANGES on head 34aa762f. The fail-closed runtime guarantee is still bypassed for BYO-labeled runtimes: requestedIsByo skips the resolvedRuntime !== runtime check for external/kimi/kimi-cli. That allows a request for kimi or kimi-cli to read back langgraph (or any other non-empty runtime) and still return ok=true/provisioned=true, which is the same silent-fallback class this tool is meant to prevent. Please keep any deliberate external normalization narrowly scoped and add regression coverage that kimi/kimi-cli mismatches fail closed.

CR2 review on PR #1: the previous requestedIsByo guard skipped the
resolved-runtime check entirely for external/kimi/kimi-cli, allowing a
silent langgraph fallback to return ok=true. Replace it with an explicit
allowed-set map:

- external: allowed [external, ] (documented  -> external norm)
- kimi: allowed [kimi]
- kimi-cli: allowed [kimi-cli]
- all others: exact match required

Added regression tests covering:
- kimi / kimi-cli succeed when resolved runtime matches
- kimi / kimi-cli / external fail closed when resolved is langgraph

All 110 index.test.ts tests pass.

APPROVED fixed head fce9b035. The prior fail-closed blocker is resolved: runtime matching now uses a narrow allowedResolvedRuntimes map, with empty-string normalization scoped only to external, and kimi/kimi-cli requiring exact resolved runtime. Regression tests assert kimi, kimi-cli, and external return RUNTIME_MISMATCH/provisioned=false on langgraph fallback. No additional correctness/security/perf/readability blockers found.
