test(a2a queue): add pure-function coverage for extractExpiresInSeconds — 16 cases

Covers:
- Positive integers (including large TTLs like 3600s)
- Zero value
- Negative → collapses to 0
- Missing / absent expires_in_seconds
- No params at all
- Malformed JSON
- Empty body
- Type mismatches: null, string, float → 0

Part of ongoing pure-function test coverage for the A2A queue layer.

+# sop-checklist-gate — evaluate whether a PR has peer-acked each
+# SOP-checklist item. Posts a commit-status that branch protection
+# can require.
+#
+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
+#
+# Invoked by .gitea/workflows/sop-checklist-gate.yml on:
+#   - pull_request_target: [opened, edited, synchronize, reopened]
+#   - issue_comment:       [created, edited, deleted]
+#
+# Flow:
+#   1. Load .gitea/sop-checklist-config.yaml (from BASE ref — trusted).
+#   2. GET /repos/{R}/pulls/{N}          — author, head.sha, tier label
+#   3. GET /repos/{R}/issues/{N}/comments — extract /sop-ack and /sop-revoke
+#   4. For each checklist item:
+#        a. Is the section marker present in PR body? (author answered)
+#        b. Is there ≥1 unrevoked /sop-ack from a non-author whose
+#           team-membership matches required_teams?
+#   5. POST /repos/{R}/statuses/{sha}    — context
+#      `sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)`,
+#      state=success | failure | pending, description=`acked: N/M …`.
+#
+# Trust boundary (mirrors RFC#324 §A4):
+#   This script is loaded from the BASE branch. The workflow's
+#   actions/checkout step pins ref=base.sha. PR-HEAD code is never
+#   executed. We only HTTP-call the Gitea API.
+#
+# Token scope:
+#   - read:repository / read:organization to enumerate PR + comments
+#     + team membership (Gitea 1.22.6 quirk: team-membership endpoint
+#     returns 403 if token owner is not in the team; see review-check.sh
+#     for the same gotcha — we surface the same fail-closed message).
+#   - write:repository for `POST /repos/{R}/statuses/{sha}`. Unlike
+#     RFC#324's pattern (which uses the JOB's own pass/fail as the
+#     status), we POST the status explicitly because the gate posts
+#     a single multi-item status with a richer description than a
+#     bare success/failure context can carry.
+#
+# Slug normalization rules (canonical form: kebab-case):
+#   - Lowercase
+#   - Whitespace + underscores → single dash
+#   - Strip non [a-z0-9-] characters
+#   - Collapse adjacent dashes
+#   - Strip leading/trailing dashes
+#   - If the result is a digit string (e.g. "1"), look up via
+#     config.items[*].numeric_alias to get the kebab-case slug.
+#
+#   Examples:
+#       "Comprehensive_Testing"  → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "comprehensive testing"  → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "1"                      → "comprehensive-testing"
+#       "Five-Axis-Review"       → "five-axis-review"
+#
+# Revoke semantics:
+#   /sop-revoke <slug> [reason] — most-recent comment per (slug, user)
+#   wins. So if Alice posts /sop-ack X then later /sop-revoke X, her ack
+#   for X is invalidated. Bob's prior /sop-ack X is unaffected. If Alice
+#   posts /sop-revoke X then later /sop-ack X again, the ack is restored.

+# SOP-Checklist gate — per-item required reviewer teams.
+#
+# RFC#351 v1 starter set. Each item lists:
+#   slug              — canonical kebab-case form used in /sop-ack <slug>
+#   pr_section_marker — substring matched in the PR body to detect that
+#                       the author filled in this item (case-insensitive)
+#   required_teams    — list of Gitea team names; an ack from ANY one of
+#                       these teams (logical OR) satisfies the item.
+#                       Membership is probed at gate-time via
+#                       GET /api/v1/teams/{id}/members/{login}.
+#                       Team-id resolution happens at script start via
+#                       GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/teams (cheap, one call).
+#   numeric_alias     — 1..7; lets reviewers type `/sop-ack 3` as a
+#                       shortcut for `/sop-ack staging-smoke`.
+#
+# WHY THESE TEAM MAPPINGS:
+#   The RFC table referenced persona-role names like `core-qa`,
+#   `core-be`, `core-devops` — these are individual Gitea user logins,
+#   not teams. The Gitea team-membership API is /teams/{id}/members/{u},
+#   so we need actual teams. Orchestrator preflight 2026-05-12 verified
+#   only these teams exist on molecule-ai: ceo(5), engineers(2),
+#   managers(6), qa(20), security(21), Owners(1), and bot teams. We
+#   map the RFC roles to the closest existing team and surface the
+#   mapping explicitly so it's reviewable.
+#
+# HOW TO EDIT:
+#   - Tightening: replace `engineers` with a smaller team after creating
+#     it (e.g. a new `senior-engineers` team if needed).
+#   - Loosening: add another team to required_teams (OR semantics).
+#   - Add an item: append to items list and document the slug below.
+#
+# AUTHOR SELF-ACK IS FORBIDDEN regardless of which team contains them
+# — the gate script enforces commenter != PR author before checking
+# team membership.

+#   For tier:low — soft-fail (status `pending` with `acked: N/M` in the

+# continue-on-error: true on every job; follow-up PR will flip required after
+# surfaced bugs are fixed (per RFC §1 — "surface broken workflows without
+# blocking"). The four-surface migration audit
+# (feedback_gitea_actions_migration_audit_pattern) was performed against this
+# port:
+#
+#   1. YAML — dropped `merge_group` trigger (no Gitea merge queue); no
+#      `workflow_dispatch.inputs` to drop (Gitea 1.22.6 rejects those —
+#      feedback_gitea_workflow_dispatch_inputs_unsupported); no `environment:`
+#      blocks; kept `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` (Gitea runner pool advertises
+#      this label per agent_labels in action_runner table). Workflow-level
+#      env.GITHUB_SERVER_URL set as belt-and-suspenders against runner
+#      defaults (feedback_act_runner_github_server_url).
+#
+#   2. Cache — `actions/upload-artifact@v3.2.2` was already pinned to v3 for
+#      Gitea act_runner v0.6 compatibility (a comment in the original called
+#      this out). v4+ is incompatible with Gitea 1.22.x. No `actions/cache`
+#      usage to audit. `actions/setup-python@v6` `cache: pip` is left in
+#      place — works against Gitea's built-in cache server when runner.cache
+#      is configured (currently is, /opt/molecule/runners/config.yaml).
+#
+#   3. Token — workflow uses no custom dispatch tokens. The auto-injected
+#      `GITHUB_TOKEN` (which Gitea aliases to a runner-scoped token) is
+#      sufficient for `actions/checkout` against this same repo.
+#
+#   4. Docs — no docs/scripts reference github.com URLs that need swapping.
+#      The canvas-deploy-reminder step writes a `ghcr.io/...` image
+#      reference into the step summary text — that's documentation prose
+#      pointing at the ECR-mirrored canvas image and stays unchanged for
+#      this port (a separate cleanup if ghcr→ECR sweep is in scope).

+# Cross-links:

+#   - Bugs that may surface immediately and are tracked separately:
+#     internal#214 (Go-side vanity-import / go.sum drift, if any)
+#   - Phase 4 (this PR's follow-up): flip `continue-on-error: false` once

+# sop-checklist-gate — peer-ack merge gate for SOP-checklist items.
+#
+# RFC#351 Step 2 of 6 (implementation MVP).
+#
+# === DESIGN ===
+#
+# Goal: each PR must answer 7 SOP-checklist questions in its body,
+# and each item must have at least one /sop-ack <slug> comment from
+# a non-author peer in the required team. BP requires the
+# `sop-checklist / all-items-acked (pull_request)` status to merge.
+#
+# Triggers:
+#   - `pull_request_target`: opened, edited, synchronize, reopened
+#       → fires when PR opens, body is edited (refire — RFC#351 §4),
+#         or new code is pushed (head.sha changes → stale status would
+#         be auto-discarded by BP via dismiss_stale_reviews, but the
+#         status itself is per-SHA so we re-post on the new head).
+#   - `issue_comment`: created, edited, deleted
+#       → fires on any new comment so /sop-ack / /sop-revoke take
+#         effect immediately (Gitea 1.22.6 doesn't refire on
+#         pull_request_review per feedback_pull_request_review_no_refire,

+#   `pull_request_target` (not `pull_request`) — workflow def is loaded
+#   from BASE branch, so a PR cannot rewrite this workflow to exfiltrate
+#   the token. The `actions/checkout` step pins `ref: base.sha` so the
+#   script ALSO comes from BASE. PR-HEAD code is never executed in the
+#   runner.
+#
+# Token scope:
+#   - read:repository, read:organization for PR + comments + team probes
+#   - write:repository for POST /statuses/{sha}
+#   - The token owner MUST be a member of every team referenced by the
+#     config's required_teams (else /teams/{id}/members/{login} returns
+#     403 — see review-check.sh same-gotcha doc). For the MVP we use
+#     the dev-lead token (a member of engineers, managers, qa, security)
+#     via a repo secret `SOP_CHECKLIST_GATE_TOKEN`. Provisioning of that
+#     secret is a follow-up authorization step (separate from this PR).

+# Failure mode: tier-aware (RFC#351 open question 2):

+#   - tier:low    → state=pending (soft-fail; BP can choose to require
+#                    this context or skip for low-tier PRs)
+#   - missing/no-tier → state=failure (default-mode: hard — never lower

+#
+# Slash-command contract (RFC#351 v1 + §A1.1-style notes from RFC#324):
+#
+#   /sop-ack <slug-or-numeric-alias> [optional note]
+#       — register a peer-ack for one checklist item.
+#       — slug accepts kebab-case, snake_case, or natural-spaces
+#         (all normalize to canonical kebab-case).
+#       — numeric 1..7 maps via config.items[*].numeric_alias.
+#       — most-recent (user, slug) directive wins.
+#
+#   /sop-revoke <slug-or-numeric-alias> [reason]
+#       — invalidate the commenter's own prior /sop-ack for this slug.
+#       — does NOT affect other peers' acks on the same slug.
+#       — most-recent (user, slug) directive wins, so a later /sop-ack
+#         re-restores the ack.
