## Summary
Closes #683. Hardens the author/MCP workflow so unattributed root/control-checkout source WIP and pytest-disabled production guards fail closed, without adopting rejected preservation evidence from #681 (`300a4ca`).
## What changed
- **New `workflow_scope_guard.py`** — pure assessor for:
- issue scope ownership (locked issue vs target/branch)
- root diagnostic/source edit block
- typed blockers (`blocker_kind` + `exact_next_action`)
- force-on production guards under pytest (`GITEA_TEST_FORCE_PRODUCTION_GUARDS=1`)
- durable workflow-failure recording helper
- **`gitea_mcp_server.py`**
- `verify_preflight_purity` no longer treats pytest alone as a reason to skip production root/branches/scope when force-on is set
- `_verify_role_mutation_workspace` documents and preserves no test-mode early-return (rejected `300a4ca` pattern)
- shared `_enforce_issue_scope_guard` + typed block mapping on `gitea_create_issue` / `gitea_create_issue_comment`
- reconciler exemption honours actual profile role (#540 poison safety)
- **Tests** — `tests/test_issue_683_workflow_scope_guards.py` plus updates so entrypoint tests accept typed blockers without patching production guards away
## Explicit non-goals
- Do **not** merge `chore/issue-681-preserve-review-session-wip` / `300a4ca`
- Do **not** absorb #604 / PR #680 anti-stomp product work
- Do **not** filter porcelain `*.py` under pytest
- Do **not** early-return `_verify_role_mutation_workspace` under test mode
## Validation
- Focused #683 suite: **passed**
- Guard suites (root checkout, author mutation, namespace binding, preflight-read survival, workspace guards, stable contamination): **passed**
- Full suite: **2615 passed, 6 skipped**
- `compileall` on changed modules: **OK**
- Control checkout remained clean on `master` throughout
## Reviewer notes
- Scope is #683 only
- Prefer fail-closed shared enforcement over per-tool duplication
- Confirm force-on path and real entrypoint proof cannot be silenced by helper monkeypatches alone
## Next role
**Independent REVIEWER** — do not self-review or merge.
gitea_mcp_server.py: verify_preflight_purity force-on path; _enforce_issue_scope_guard; typed blocks on create_issue/comment_issue; no test-mode early-return in _verify_role_mutation_workspace
issue_lock_worktree porcelain reader unchanged (no *.py filter)
Proof pytest cannot disable production enforcement:
Force-on env keeps root+branches+scope live under pytest
Entrypoint proof: dirty root → typed block; API not called
Static reject of 300a4ca early-return and porcelain py filter
Monkeypatch of helpers does not silence composed dirty-root assessment
WHY:
Process hardening for unattributed root WIP and pytest-disabled production guards, owned by #683 and distinct from #681 preservation and #604/#680 product work.
RELATED_PRS: #684 (this PR); #680 anti-stomp (do not absorb); #681 preserve evidence only
PR #684 (fix/issue-683-workflow-guard-hardening → master) remains in open state at head d302602567a1fb7842fe5486fa5a49509506ec8b; base master @ 22698c1b5f.
Independent review of PR #684 is complete; the reviewer's local verdict is APPROVE-with-notes, recorded in this comment as canonical review evidence.
PR #684 carries no formal Gitea review verdict server-side yet.
PR #680 remains in open state; it carries an APPROVE review verdict recorded via the review API earlier in this same MCP server run (head 3fd02a3) and has not been landed on master.
Control root checkout is clean on master; all review execution ran in detached worktree branches/review-pr-684.
What changed:
Reviewer lease for PR #684 acquired (comment 10604, session 44608-96a6d9d79332).
Full independent verification executed: diff read in full, guard internals traced, focused suite 19 passed, changed suites 30 passed, related guard/capability/lease/review/merge suites 155 passed, full suite 2615 passed / 6 skipped (exact author parity), master-baseline control run 2596 passed / 6 skipped (delta +19 = exactly the new #683 tests), compileall OK.
gitea_mark_final_review_decision(approve) returned marked_ready=false, fail-closed by the #332 one-terminal-review-mutation-per-run gate: this MCP server run already consumed its terminal review mutation on PR #680.
What is blocked:
Only the recording of the formal APPROVE verdict on PR #684 via gitea_submit_pr_review is fail-closed in this MCP run. Nothing in PR #684's code caused this; it is a session/tooling constraint.
gitea_cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock is not eligible: its gate requires the lock-holding PR (#680) to be in a landed-or-closed state, and PR #680 remains open.
Who/what acts next:
Operator restarts/reconnects the gitea-reviewer MCP namespace to start a fresh run; reviewer then records the formal APPROVE verdict per NEXT_PROMPT below, provided live head still equals d302602.
Server-side decision state: PR #684 has no formal review verdict on record; #332 terminal-review lock held by the PR #680 APPROVE in the current MCP run
Local verdict/state: APPROVE-with-notes at head d302602; evidence complete in this comment
Next actor: reviewer
Required action: fresh gitea-reviewer MCP run, re-pin head, then mark_final_review_decision(approve) + gitea_submit_pr_review(approve) referencing this comment
Blocker classification: process/rule blocker
Do not do: do not land PR #684 on master before the formal APPROVE verdict exists on the PR; do not use gitea_cleanup_stale_review_decision_lock while PR #680 remains open; do not delete session-state files by hand; do not re-review from scratch unless head moves off d302602; do not treat this comment as a substitute for the formal verdict.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent reviewer (sysadmin / prgs-reviewer; distinct identity from author jcwalker3 / prgs-author) completed a full review of PR #684 at pinned head d302602 from detached review worktree branches/review-pr-684. Control root stayed clean on master @ 22698c1 throughout.
Scope verified: 8 files, all #683 hardening surface; single commit based directly on master (merge-base = master head); no cherry-pick of 300a4ca; no absorption of #604/#680 product work; issue_lock_worktree.py has a 0-line diff (no porcelain *.py filter); no test-mode early-return in _verify_role_mutation_workspace (static grep plus regression test).
Files/entrypoints inspected: workflow_scope_guard.py (full read); gitea_mcp_server.py diff — verify_preflight_purity, _enforce_issue_scope_guard, _session_issue_lock_snapshot, _production_guard_block_from_exc, _verify_role_mutation_workspace, gitea_create_issue (~2081), gitea_create_issue_comment (~8360), _enforce_branches_only_author_mutation (588), _actual_profile_role (244); issue_lock_worktree.read_worktree_git_state; reviewer_worktree.parse_dirty_tracked_files; verify_lock_for_mutation wiring (create_pr, 2553); all 5 changed test files plus new tests/test_issue_683_workflow_scope_guards.py (full read).
Acceptance-criteria verification (all pass):
Scope ownership: authority is the issue_lock_store session lock only; branch names/filenames/labels can flag a mismatch but never grant ownership; non-author roles resolve via _actual_profile_role (#540 poison-safe); missing/conflicting ownership fails closed; typed blocker_kind from frozen BLOCKER_KINDS with stable exact_next_action; no author-role bypass exists.
Root/diagnostic enforcement: dirty tracked source at the control root yields a root_diagnostic_edit fail-closed outcome regardless of temporary/diagnostic intent; porcelain stays truthful (parse_dirty_tracked_files unmodified, tracked-only by documented design); no pytest marker/fixture/env can disable production enforcement (the skip path requires in_test_mode=True, unreachable in production); branches/ worktrees remain usable.
Force-on flag: GITEA_TEST_FORCE_PRODUCTION_GUARDS strictly strengthens — it invokes the SAME production guard functions (_enforce_root_checkout_guard / _enforce_branches_only_author_mutation / _enforce_issue_scope_guard), no parallel implementation; production semantics unchanged when the variable is absent (the pytest unit-isolation early-return predates this PR on master); single env name with strict value set; it cannot weaken or bypass anything.
Failure ledger: makes no filesystem writes (cannot dirty root); threading.Lock-guarded; a sink exception propagates so a fail-closed decision never converts to success; assess_durable_failure_recorded fails closed when a record is required and absent; the helper persists no secrets by itself.
Bootstrap safety: create_issue/comment_issue deliberately omit target_issue_number, so owning-issue creation and failure-report comments remain possible while a session holds a different issue lock; reviewer/merger/reconciler comment paths stay exempt via actual-profile role; the root-side restriction on create_issue is pre-existing #274 behavior, so no new deadlock; no PR #680-style role regression found (30/30 changed-suite tests pass including the #540 poison tests).
Ordering: real-entrypoint test proves api_request.assert_not_called() on the dirty-root fail-closed path; the typed response returns before the content gate and before any API/filesystem side effect; the pre-existing workspace-guard tests force the production path explicitly (_preflight_in_test_mode=False) — production guards, not inert stubs.
Exact test results (independent run in branches/review-pr-684):
workflow_scope_guard.py:581 porcelain_preserves_python_paths — duplicated condition (endswith(".py") appears twice) and near-tautological len(line)>=4; helper unused by production and tests. Low; dead-code cleanup candidate.
workflow_scope_guard.py:506 record_workflow_failure — the ledger is in-process memory only; "durable" is overstated and AC8 enforcement is not wired into any production entrypoint (helper plus tests only). Medium; follow-up issue recommended.
gitea_mcp_server.py:818 — production scope check uses the lock-recorded branch; live-branch drift is checked only under force-on; gitea_commit_files' target branch is not cross-checked against the session lock (verify_lock_for_mutation is wired at create_pr only). Pre-existing gap, not widened by this PR. Follow-up candidate.
workflow_scope_guard.py:594 assert_no_pytest_porcelain_filter — string-heuristic tripwire, evadable by trivial rephrasing; acceptable as a regression canary, not proof.
Remaining risks: findings 2 and 3; both fail toward safety (nothing weakened) and neither violates a #683 hard acceptance criterion.
WHY:
All decision rules verified: ownership cannot be spoofed, root diagnostic edits fail closed, pytest cannot disable or conceal production guards, the force-on flag only strengthens test coverage, the failure ledger is safe and correctly ordered, issue creation and canonical comments remain usable without opening a scope bypass, no mutation occurs before the guard, and full-suite parity plus 19 new regression tests hold.
RELATED_PRS: #684 (this PR — review evidence complete); #680 (open; carries this run's terminal APPROVE verdict; its landing sequence owns that budget); #681 preserve branch is evidence only
BLOCKERS: #332 one-terminal-review-mutation-per-run gate fail-closed mark_final_review_decision for PR #684 because this MCP server run's terminal review mutation was already consumed by the PR #680 APPROVE verdict (head 3fd02a3). PR #680 remains open, so the stale-lock cleanup tool is not eligible. This durable record satisfies the #683 AC8 pattern (record the workflow/tooling stop before further work). Recovery: fresh gitea-reviewer MCP run, then NEXT_PROMPT.

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent review completed earlier today at pinned head d302602; canonical evidence in PR comment 10606 (scope verification, all #683 acceptance criteria, focused suite 19 passed, changed suites 30 passed, guard/lease/review/merge suites 155 passed, full suite 2615 passed / 6 skipped, baseline delta +19, compileall OK, four non-blocking findings). Formal verdict recording was deferred through the #584/#672 transport incident and completed in this fresh client-managed reviewer run after operator reconnect (defect capture: #685 resolver contract, #686 duplicate-launch guardrail).
WHY:
All #683 acceptance criteria verified; the four findings are non-blocking and fail toward safety; full-suite parity with the author's report.

[THREAD STATE LEDGER] PR #684 — formal APPROVE verdict recorded at head d302602
What is true now:
- Server-side decision state: this review records the formal APPROVE verdict on PR #684 at head d302602567a1fb7842fe5486fa5a49509506ec8b via the review API
- Local verdict/state: APPROVE-with-notes per canonical review evidence in PR comment 10606 (independent review by sysadmin/prgs-reviewer at pinned head d302602)
- Latest known validation: full suite 2615 passed / 6 skipped; master-baseline delta +19 (exactly the new #683 tests); compileall OK; full detail in comment 10606
What changed:
- After operator reconnect of the client-managed gitea-reviewer namespace, a fresh reviewer run re-verified identity/parity/provenance, released the prior orphaned lease (comment 10668), acquired a fresh lease (comment 10670, session 76849-c083d5c9e7da), re-pinned live head d302602 and base master 22698c1, then recorded this verdict
What is blocked:
- Blocker classification: no blocker
Who/what acts next:
- Next actor: merger
- Required action: run the canonical merge workflow for PR #684 (verify this APPROVE at live head, acquire/adopt merger lease, perform the merge)
- Do not do: do not perform the merge without re-verifying live head equals d302602; do not absorb #680/#604 work; do not use the preserved 300a4ca branch

WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent review completed earlier today at pinned head d302602; canonical evidence in PR comment 10606 (scope verification, all #683 acceptance criteria, focused suite 19 passed, changed suites 30 passed, guard/lease/review/merge suites 155 passed, full suite 2615 passed / 6 skipped, baseline delta +19, compileall OK, four non-blocking findings). Formal verdict recording was deferred through the #584/#672 transport incident and completed in this fresh client-managed reviewer run after operator reconnect (defect capture: #685 resolver contract, #686 duplicate-launch guardrail).
WHY:
All #683 acceptance criteria verified; the four findings are non-blocking and fail toward safety; full-suite parity with the author's report.

Independent reviewer (sysadmin / prgs-reviewer; distinct identity from author jcwalker3 / prgs-author) completed a full review of PR #684 at pinned head
d302602from detached review worktree branches/review-pr-684. Control root stayed clean on master @22698c1throughout.Scope verified: 8 files, all #683 hardening surface; single commit based directly on master (merge-base = master head); no cherry-pick of 300a4ca; no absorption of #604/#680 product work; issue_lock_worktree.py has a 0-line diff (no porcelain *.py filter); no test-mode early-return in _verify_role_mutation_workspace (static grep plus regression test).
Files/entrypoints inspected: workflow_scope_guard.py (full read); gitea_mcp_server.py diff — verify_preflight_purity, _enforce_issue_scope_guard, _session_issue_lock_snapshot, _production_guard_block_from_exc, _verify_role_mutation_workspace, gitea_create_issue (~2081), gitea_create_issue_comment (~8360), _enforce_branches_only_author_mutation (588), _actual_profile_role (244); issue_lock_worktree.read_worktree_git_state; reviewer_worktree.parse_dirty_tracked_files; verify_lock_for_mutation wiring (create_pr, 2553); all 5 changed test files plus new tests/test_issue_683_workflow_scope_guards.py (full read).
Acceptance-criteria verification (all pass):
Exact test results (independent run in branches/review-pr-684):
22698c1in a branches/ worktree): 2596 passed, 6 skipped → delta +19 equals exactly the new #683 tests; no coverage lostFindings (non-blocking; file:line at
d302602):Remaining risks: findings 2 and 3; both fail toward safety (nothing weakened) and neither violates a #683 hard acceptance criterion.
WHY:
All decision rules verified: ownership cannot be spoofed, root diagnostic edits fail closed, pytest cannot disable or conceal production guards, the force-on flag only strengthens test coverage, the failure ledger is safe and correctly ordered, issue creation and canonical comments remain usable without opening a scope bypass, no mutation occurs before the guard, and full-suite parity plus 19 new regression tests hold.

STATE:

WHO_IS_NEXT:
merger
NEXT_ACTION:
Run canonical merge workflow for PR #684 (verify verdict at live head, merger lease, merge, post-merge cleanup)
NEXT_PROMPT:
WHAT_HAPPENED:
Independent review evidence (comment 10606) was recorded at pinned head
d302602earlier today; the formal verdict recording was deferred through the #584/#672 transport incident and completed in this fresh client-managed reviewer run after operator reconnect. Read-back proof: approval_visible=true at the exact expected head, review not stale, not dismissed.WHY:
All #683 acceptance criteria verified with full-suite parity; the four review findings are non-blocking and fail toward safety; defect remediation is owned by #685/#686 and does not gate this PR.
RELATED_PRS:
#680 (separate landing sequence; do not absorb)
