+CI enforces coverage gates on two surfaces — `workspace-server` (Go) and
+`workspace/` (Python). All defined in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`.
 
 ## Current floors (2026-04-23)
 
@@ -76,3 +76,51 @@ This gate makes "no untested critical paths merged" a mechanical property of
 the CI, not a behavioural property of QA agents or individual reviewers —
 which is the only way to make it survive fleet outages, agent rotations, or
 QA process changes.
+
+## Python (workspace/) — added 2026-05-04 from #2790
+
+The Python side has its own gates in the `python-lint` job:
+
+| Gate | Threshold | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Total floor** | `86%` | `workspace/pytest.ini` `--cov-fail-under=86` (issue #1817) |
+| **Critical-path per-file floor** | `75%` | Inline shell step after the pytest run |
+
+### Critical-path Python files
+
+These handle multi-tenant routing, auth tokens, and inbox dispatch. A
+coverage drop here is the same risk shape as a Go-side `tokens*` /
+`secrets*` file regressing below 10%.
+
+- `workspace/a2a_mcp_server.py` — MCP dispatcher (PR #2766 / #2771)
+- `workspace/mcp_cli.py` — molecule-mcp standalone CLI entry
+- `workspace/a2a_tools.py` — workspace-scoped tool implementations
+- `workspace/inbox.py` — multi-workspace inbox + per-workspace cursors
+- `workspace/platform_auth.py` — per-workspace token resolver
+
+### Why 75% (vs 86% total)
+
+The total floor averages ~6000 lines across `workspace/`. A single MCP
+file could drop to ~50% with no CI complaint as long as other modules
+compensate. The per-file floor closes that distribution gap. 75% sits
+below current actuals (80–96% as of 2026-05-04) — strictly additive,
+no existing PR fails.
+
+### Python ratchet plan
+
+| Date | Total | Per-file critical | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 2026-05-04 | 86% | 75% | Initial gate (this file). |
+| 2026-06-04 | 86% | 80% | First ratchet — at-floor files must catch up. |
+| 2026-07-04 | 88% | 85% | |
+| 2026-08-04 | 90% | 90% | Target steady-state. |
+
+### Why this Python gate exists
+
+Issue #2790, after the PR #2766 → PR #2771 cycle. PR #2766 added
+multi-workspace routing through `a2a_tools.py` + `a2a_mcp_server.py`,
+shipped to main with green CI, but the dispatcher silently dropped a
+load-bearing kwarg for 4 of 9 tools — caught only by post-merge code
+review. The structural drift gate (`test_dispatcher_schema_drift.py`,
+PR #2791) catches the schema↔dispatcher mismatch class; this floor
+catches the broader "MCP-critical file regressed" class.

-### 2. Parent Context (if child workspace)
+### 2. Team-shared knowledge (on demand)
 
-If this workspace was created via team expansion (has a `PARENT_ID` env var), it fetches its parent's shared context files at startup via `GET /workspaces/{parent_id}/shared-context`. The parent declares which files to share in its `config.yaml`:
+Team-scoped knowledge is no longer injected at boot. The previous
+`shared_context` field + `GET /workspaces/{parent_id}/shared-context`
+fetch was removed; agents now pull team-shared knowledge on demand via
+memory v2's `team:<id>` namespace using the `recall_memory` MCP tool.
 
-```yaml
-shared_context:
-  - architecture.md
-  - conventions.md
-```
-
-These files are injected as a `## Parent Context` section, with each file rendered under a `### {filename}` heading. This gives children the parent's project knowledge (architecture, conventions, API schemas) without exposing the parent's system prompt or full config.
-
-**1-level inheritance only:** A grandchild sees its direct parent's shared context, not its grandparent's. This mirrors the L2 Team Memory scope.
-
-**Graceful degradation:** If the parent is offline or the endpoint returns an error, the child starts normally without parent context.
+This shifts cost from "every boot, always" to "only when the agent
+asks", and lets team members write to the shared store from anywhere
+that can resolve the namespace (canvas Memory tab, agent
+`commit_memory`, admin import). For large blob-shaped artefacts (full
+architecture docs, brand assets, PDFs) see RFC #2789 (platform-owned
+shared file storage).

+"""Pattern-based secret redaction for adapter exception strings.
+
+Used by ``not_configured_handler`` (and any future code path that exposes
+adapter-side error strings to the network) to scrub secret-shaped tokens
+before they land in JSON-RPC ``error.data``.
+
+Why this exists (issue molecule-core#2760): PR #2756 piped
+``adapter.setup()`` exception strings verbatim into the JSON-RPC -32603
+response so canvas could surface "agent not configured: <reason>". The
+4 adapters in tree today (claude-code/codex/openclaw/hermes) raise with
+key NAMES not values, so this is currently safe — but a future adapter
+author writing ``raise RuntimeError(f"auth failed for {token}")`` would
+leak that token to every JSON-RPC client. This module is the structural
+floor that keeps the leak from happening.
+
+The redactor is intentionally pattern-based (a closed list of known
+prefixes), NOT entropy-based — entropy heuristics false-positive on
+hex git SHAs and base64-shaped UUIDs that carry zero secret value.
+A pattern miss is preferable to redacting "RuntimeError: invalid
+config_path=ed8f1234abcd" out of a real diagnostic.
+
+Pairs with ``not_configured_handler.make_not_configured_handler`` —
+the redactor runs once when the handler is built, so per-request hot
+path stays unchanged.

+"""Drift gate: every property declared in a tool's ``input_schema`` MUST
+be read by the matching dispatch arm in ``a2a_mcp_server.handle_tool_call``.
+
+Why this exists (issue #2790):
+    PR #2766 added ``source_workspace_id`` to four tools' ``input_schema``
+    and tool implementations, but the dispatcher in ``a2a_mcp_server.py``
+    silently dropped the kwarg for ``commit_memory`` / ``recall_memory``
+    / ``chat_history`` / ``get_workspace_info``. The schema lied: the LLM
+    saw the parameter as valid, populated it correctly, and every call
+    fell back to ``WORKSPACE_ID`` defeating multi-tenant isolation.
+    Existing dispatcher tests asserted return-value substrings instead
+    of kwarg flow (``"working" in result``), so the bug shipped to main.
+
+What this test catches:
+    For every ``ToolSpec`` registered in ``platform_tools.registry``
+    whose ``input_schema`` declares a property ``X``, the matching
+    ``elif name == "<tool_name>"`` arm in ``handle_tool_call`` must
+    contain a literal string ``"X"`` passed to ``arguments.get(...)``.
+    A future PR that adds a new property to the schema but forgets the
+    dispatcher will fail this gate at CI time, before the bad code hits
+    main.
+
+Why an AST check, not a runtime invocation:
+    The dispatcher is a long if/elif chain. Runtime invocation would
+    need to mock every inner tool, then call the dispatcher with each
+    name and assert the kwargs were forwarded. That's exactly what
+    ``test_a2a_mcp_server.py::test_dispatch_*_forwards_source_workspace_id``
+    already does for the four tools we explicitly tested. This gate is
+    cheaper (~1ms) and catches the structural drift before someone has
+    to remember to write the runtime test for each new property.
