Author mutation tools now resolve workspace via explicit worktree_path,
env bindings, or the active author issue lock — never silent fallback to
the control checkout/master. Missing configured bindings fail closed with
operator recovery; create_issue and create_issue_comment agree.
Recovered onto 0568f44 from preserved candidate cbf56ccd (AUTHOR_RECOVERY).

Namespace-scoped workspace resolution prevents GITEA_AUTHOR_WORKTREE from
poisoning reviewer, merger, and reconciler purity checks. Each role uses
its own worktree env var with actionable binding-source errors and safe
reconnect guidance. Preserves #274/#475 author and control-checkout guards.
