fix(pendinguploads): accept done channel in StartSweeperWithIntervalForTest

Fixes a build failure where the TickerFiresAdditionalCycles test called StartSweeperWithIntervalForTest with 5 arguments (ctx, store, ackRetention, interval, done) but the export only accepted 4. Also fixes a pre-existing vet error in org_external.go: a no-op `append(gitArgs(...))` call was triggering go test's internal vet check, surfacing only because the sweeper fix now causes the full test suite to run (main branch skips platform tests when no .go files change, completing in 10s vs 14min for the full suite).

+# review-check — evaluate whether a PR satisfies a single team-review gate.
+#
+# RFC#324 Step 1 of 5 — qa-review + security-review check workflows.
+#
+# This is the shared evaluator invoked by:
+#   .gitea/workflows/qa-review.yml      (TEAM=qa,      TEAM_ID=20)
+#   .gitea/workflows/security-review.yml (TEAM=security, TEAM_ID=21)
+#
+# Pass condition (per RFC#324 v1.1 addendum):
+#   ≥ 1 review on the PR where:
+#     • state == APPROVED
+#     • review.dismissed == false
+#     • review.user.login != PR.user.login (non-author)
+#     • review.user.login ∈ team-members
+#
+# Strict mode (default OFF for v1; see RFC trade-off note):
+#   If REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT=1, additionally require review.commit_id == PR.head.sha.
+#   With dismiss_stale_reviews: true at the protection layer, stale reviews
+#   are already dismissed, so the additional commit_id check is belt-and-
+#   suspenders. Keeping it off in v1 simplifies semantics; flip in a follow-up
+#   PR if reviewer telemetry shows residual stale-APPROVE merges.
+#
+# Privilege gate (RFC#324 v1.3 §A1.1 — INFORMATIONAL ONLY):
+#   The /qa-recheck and /security-recheck slash-commands can be triggered
+#   by anyone who can comment on the PR. The workflow's privilege step
+#   logs collaborator-status but does NOT gate execution of this script.
+#   Why this is safe: this evaluator is read-only and idempotent —
+#   reading `pulls/{N}/reviews` and `teams/{id}/members/{u}` can't be
+#   influenced by who triggered the run. If a real team-member APPROVE
+#   exists the gate flips green; otherwise it stays red. A
+#   non-collaborator commenting /qa-recheck cannot manufacture a green
+#   gate. Original (v1.2) design with `if:`-gating of this step was
+#   fail-open (skipped-via-`if:` job still publishes the status as
+#   `success`) — corrected in v1.3 per hongming-pc review 1421.
+#
+# Trust boundary (RFC A4):
+#   This script is loaded from the BASE branch (sourced via .gitea/scripts/
+#   on the workflow's checkout-of-base). It does NOT execute any PR-HEAD
+#   code. It only reads PR review state via the Gitea API.
+#
+# Token scope (RFC A1-α):
+#   The job's own conclusion (exit 0 / exit 1) is what publishes the
+#   `qa-review / approved` / `security-review / approved` status context.
+#   NO `POST /statuses` call here → NO `write:repository` scope on the
+#   token. `read:organization` (for team-membership probe) and
+#   `read:repository` (for PR + reviews) are enough.
+#
+# Required env:
+#   GITEA_TOKEN — least-priv read:repository + read:organization. See note
+#                 below about the team-membership API requiring the token
+#                 owner to be in the queried team (Gitea 1.22.6 quirk).
+#   GITEA_HOST  — e.g. git.moleculesai.app
+#   REPO        — owner/name (from github.repository)
+#   PR_NUMBER   — int (from github.event.pull_request.number or
+#                 github.event.issue.number for issue_comment events)
+#   TEAM        — short team name (qa | security) for log lines
+#   TEAM_ID     — Gitea team id (20=qa, 21=security at time of writing)
+#
+# Optional:
+#   REVIEW_CHECK_DEBUG=1 — per-API-call diagnostic lines
+#   REVIEW_CHECK_STRICT=1 — also require review.commit_id == pr.head.sha

+#         → manual re-fire after a QA reviewer clicks APPROVE
+#           (Gitea 1.22.6 doesn't re-fire on pull_request_review, per
+#           go-gitea/gitea#33700 + feedback_pull_request_review_no_refire)
+#   Workflow name = `qa-review` ; job name = `approved`.
+#   The job's own pass/fail conclusion publishes the status context
+#   `qa-review / approved (<event>)` — NO `POST /statuses` call → NO
+#   write:repository token scope needed. Sidesteps internal#321 defect #2.
+#
+# A1.1 (privilege check on slash-comment — INFORMATIONAL ONLY, NOT a gate):
+#   The `issue_comment` event fires for ANY commenter, including
+#   non-collaborators. The original (v1.2) design gated the eval step
+#   behind a collaborator probe → if a non-collaborator commented
+#   /qa-recheck, the eval was `if:`-skipped → the job exited 0 anyway →
+#   the status context published `success` with ZERO real APPROVE.
+#   That was a fail-open: any visitor could green the gate.
+#
+#   RFC#324 v1.3 §A1.1 correction (option b per hongming-pc 1421):
+#   drop privilege-gating of the evaluation entirely. The eval is
+#   read-only and idempotent — it reads `pulls/{N}/reviews` and
+#   `teams/{id}/members/{u}` (both API-side state that a commenter can't
+#   change). Re-running it on a non-collaborator's comment is harmless
+#   AND correct: if a real team-member APPROVE exists, the eval flips
+#   green; if not, it stays red.
+#
+#   We KEEP the privilege step as a `::notice::` log line only — useful
+#   for griefer-spotting (one operator spamming /recheck) without
+#   touching the gate. If rate-limiting is needed later, add it as a
+#   separate concern (time-window throttle, not a privilege gate).
+#
+#   We MUST NOT use `github.event.comment.author_association` (the
+#   field doesn't exist on Gitea 1.22.6 webhook payload — this was
+#   sop-tier-refire's defect #1).
+#
+# A4 (no PR-head checkout under pull_request_target):
+#   We check out the BASE ref explicitly so the review-check.sh script is
+#   loaded from trusted source. We NEVER use `ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}`.
+#   No PR-head code is executed in the runner. Trust boundary preserved.
+#
+# A5 (real Gitea team):
+#   `qa` team (id=20) verified by orchestrator preflight 2026-05-11; queried
+#   at run time via /api/v1/teams/20/members/{login}.
+#
+# === TOKEN ===
+#
+# The workflow reads PR state, PR reviews, and team membership.
+# Gitea 1.22.6's /api/v1/teams/{id}/members/{u} returns 403 ('Must be a
+# team member') for tokens whose owner is not in that team. The default
+# `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` is owned by a workflow-scoped identity that is
+# also not in qa/security teams → also 403.
+#
+# Resolution: a dedicated `RFC_324_TEAM_READ_TOKEN` secret, owned by an
+# identity that IS in both `qa` and `security` teams (Owners-tier
+# claude-ceo-assistant, or a new service-bot added to both teams).
+# Provisioning of this secret is tracked as a follow-up issue (filed by
+# core-devops at PR open).
+#
+# Until that secret is provisioned, the job will exit 1 with a clear
+# 403-on-team-probe error and the `qa-review / approved` status will
+# stay `failure`. This is the correct fail-closed behavior — the gate
+# blocks merge until both (a) a QA team member APPROVEs and (b) the
+# workflow has a token that can confirm their team membership.
+#
+# === SLASH-COMMAND CONTRACT ===

+# Publish-runtime pipeline verification — 2026-05-11
+
+Marker file for the canonical end-to-end pipeline verification after
+`publish-runtime-bot` provisioning (internal#327) + stale-tag drift
+resolution (`runtime-v0.1.131` deleted from main).
+
+## Purpose
+
+Triggers `workspace/**` path filter on `publish-runtime-autobump.yml`,
+exercising the full pipeline:
+
+1. `publish-runtime-autobump / bump-and-tag` reads PyPI version, computes
+   next, pushes tag `runtime-v0.1.131` (or higher) using new bot scope.
+2. `publish-runtime.yml` fires on tag, builds + publishes to PyPI.
+3. Cascade autobump: 9 template repos get their `.runtime-version`
+   pinned to the new version.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] autobump bump-and-tag context green on merged commit
+- [ ] tag `runtime-v0.1.131` (or computed next) exists on molecule-core
+- [ ] publish-runtime.yml run green
+- [ ] PyPI molecule-ai-workspace-runtime updated from 0.1.130
+- [ ] 9 template repos updated their pinned runtime version
+
+## Rollback
+
+This file is informational only — no code dependency. Safe to delete
+in any future PR once pipeline is proven stable.
