fix(review): cross-PR decision-lock isolation and recovery diagnosis (Closes #693 )

Prevent foreign open-PR terminals on the durable review-decision lock from blocking fresh formal reviews. Scope correction authorization to the named prior review's PR/head, add read-only diagnosis with exact next_action and durable handoff payloads, require thread-visible correction audits, and cover the PR #688 → #692 recovery sequence in regression tests.

-# MCP daemon import and native-transport guard (#558 / #695)
+# MCP daemon import and keychain guard (#558)

 ## Problem

-During deadlock debugging and the PR #694 incident (#695), agents imported
-`gitea_mcp_server` or ran credential helpers from a raw shell / offline helper,
-bypassing native MCP transport, preflight purity, and role gates. Contaminated
-formal reviews then looked identical to native approvals.
+During deadlock debugging, agents imported `gitea_mcp_server` / ran credential
+helpers from a raw shell, bypassing preflight purity and role gates.

 ## Rule

-Mutation auth, keychain fill, and controller quarantine require a **native MCP
-transport runtime** established only by the official entrypoint.
+Mutation auth and keychain fill require a **sanctioned MCP daemon** process.

 | Context | Allowed |
 |---------|---------|
-| Official MCP entrypoint (`mcp_server.py` / `gitea_mcp_server` `__main__`) calls `mark_sanctioned_daemon()` and holds a process-local runtime token | yes |
-| pytest (hermetic unit tests) | yes |
-| `GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1` alone (no process-local native runtime) | **no** (#695) |
-| `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` in LLM sessions | **no** — never set in agent sessions |
-| `GITEA_ALLOW_KEYCHAIN_CLI=1` in LLM sessions | **no** — human operator only |
-| bare `python -c 'import gitea_mcp_server; …'` or offline runners | **no** |
-| keychain fill outside native/pytest | **no** |
-
-Native runtime is **process-local**: a random token bound to the daemon PID.
-It is never reconstructed from environment variables, session-state files, or
-importing internals in a fresh Python process.
-
-## Contaminated review quarantine (#695 AC8)
-
-Controller/reconciler/merger profiles may call
-`gitea_quarantine_contaminated_review` with explicit confirmation:
-
-```text
-QUARANTINE CONTAMINATED REVIEW <review_id> PR <pr_number>
-```
-
-Quarantine records are durable under the MCP session-state root and are
-**honored** by:
-
- `gitea_get_pr_review_feedback` (quarantined approvals do not authorize merge)
- `gitea_check_pr_eligibility` action=`merge`
- `gitea_merge_pr` (mutation)
- merger lease adoption paths that read `approval_at_current_head`
-
-Forensic Gitea reviews and historical comments are **never deleted**.
-
-## STOP after native MCP failure (AC10)
-
-If the native MCP namespace dies (EOF, capability disconnect, session death):
-
-1. **STOP.** State BLOCKED + DIAGNOSE.
-2. Do **not** import `gitea_mcp_server` from a standalone process.
-3. Do **not** run `offline_mcp_helper.py`, `offline_mcp_runner.py`,
-   `run_quarantine.py`, or any offline mutation helper.
-4. Do **not** set direct-import, keychain-bypass, or raw-token environment
-   variables.
-5. Reconnect / restart the official MCP daemon; resume only via native tools.
-
-Any further native MCP failure is a hard stop. Do not construct another fallback.
-
-## Canonical approval claims (AC7)
-
-Comments that claim `approved` / `ready-to-merge` / `WHO_IS_NEXT: merger` /
-`MERGE_READY: true` must include:
-
-```text
-NATIVE_REVIEW_PROOF: transport=native_mcp; …
-```
-
-Claims that cite offline/import helpers are rejected even if a proof line is
-present.
+| Official MCP entrypoint (`mcp_server.py` / `gitea_mcp_server` `__main__`) sets `GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1` | yes |
+| pytest | yes |
+| `GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1` (operator/tests only) | yes |
+| bare `python -c 'import gitea_auth; get_auth_header(...)'` | **no** |
+| keychain fill without daemon | **no** unless `GITEA_ALLOW_KEYCHAIN_CLI=1` |

 ## Operator note

-LLM sessions must never set allow-direct-import, allow-keychain-cli, or raw
-token overrides. Those are human-only escape hatches outside agent workflows.
+LLM sessions must never set the allow-direct-import or allow-keychain-cli

+"""Sanctioned MCP daemon guards for imports and credential access (#558).

-Direct ``import gitea_mcp_server`` from a shell bypasses native MCP transport.
-#558 introduced a daemon marker; #695 hardens it so:
+Direct ``import gitea_mcp_server`` / ``import gitea_auth`` from a shell, plus
+raw keychain dumps, bypass preflight purity and role gates. Mutation helpers
+and keychain fallbacks therefore require an explicit sanctioned runtime.

- Environment variables alone cannot reconstruct a native session
-  (``GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1`` / ``GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1`` are
-  insufficient for mutation gates).
- A process-local runtime record is created only by the official entrypoint
-  (``mcp_server.py`` calling ``mark_sanctioned_daemon``), bound to PID and a
-  random secret that never leaves process memory.
- Offline scripts that import internals fail closed on mutations.
- Pytest remains allowed (hermetic tests); optional force flags exist for
-  provenance regression tests.
+Sanctioned contexts (any one):
+- ``GITEA_MCP_SANCTIONED_DAEMON=1`` (set by the official MCP entrypoint)
+- pytest (``PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST`` present)
+- explicit operator opt-in ``GITEA_ALLOW_DIRECT_MCP_IMPORT=1`` (tests/tools only)

-Manual deletion of session-state files is never a recovery path.
+Credential keychain fill additionally allows:
+- ``GITEA_ALLOW_KEYCHAIN_CLI=1`` for operator-only non-MCP scripts that must
+  use git-credential (never the default for LLM shells).
