fix(handlers): add $6 placeholder for 'pending' in insertMCPDelegationRow

The INSERT has 8 column names but the VALUES clause only had 5
positional placeholders ($1-$5). The 'pending' status was passed as a
raw string literal instead of a placeholder, and pq's internal arg
count then misaligned all subsequent args.

Before (broken): VALUES ($1...$5, 'pending') with 6 args → pq error
After:           VALUES ($1...$6)   with 6 args → correct

Also adds sqlmock coverage for insertMCPDelegationRow (success + DB
error) and updateMCPDelegationStatus (success + error detail + DB
error logged-not-returned), bringing both from 0% to 100% coverage.

-/** Picks the initial root for the FilesTab dropdown based on the
- *  workspace's runtime. Decision: per-runtime default (Hongming
- *  2026-05-15, internal#425 Decisions §2).
- *
- *  - openclaw → `/agent-home` (the agent's identity/state — the
- *    user-facing interesting files for that runtime live in
- *    `~/.openclaw/` inside the container, which `/agent-home` maps to
- *    via the Phase 2b docker-exec backend).
- *  - everything else (claude-code, hermes, external-like, undefined)
- *    → `/configs` (the legacy default — managed config that flows
- *    through the per-runtime indirection in
- *    workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go).
- *
- *  When the runtime is undefined (legacy callers that don't thread
- *  `data` through, or a workspace whose runtime field hasn't loaded
- *  yet) the default is `/configs` — matches today's behaviour, no
- *  surprise.
- *
- *  Note on `/agent-home` pre-Phase-2b: the backend short-circuits
- *  with HTTP 501 and the canonical "implementation pending" body.
- *  The tab renders empty + the error banner explains. This is by
- *  design — lets us land the canvas UX before the backend ships,
- *  per the RFC's phased rollout. The 501 is graceful: it doesn't
- *  poison error toasts or generate "workspace not found" noise.
- *
- *  Adding a new runtime that should default to `/agent-home`: add it
- *  to the agentHomeDefaultRuntimes set below. Adding a runtime that
- *  should default to a different root: extend this function. */

+// Regression coverage for the POLL-mode arm of the canvas user-message
+// data-loss bug (internal#470 sibling — tracked on internal#471).
+//
+// Bug (reported 2026-05-16 by CTO Hongming): "in canvas i sometimes lose
+// my own message when i exit chat". The push-mode arm was fixed by
+// #1347 (persistUserMessageAtIngest — a SYNCHRONOUS, before-dispatch,
+// context.WithoutCancel INSERT). #1347's framing asserted "poll-mode
+// workspaces were never affected — logA2AReceiveQueued already persists
+// at ingest". That assertion is OVERSTATED.
+//
+// Hongming's tenant (slug `hongming`, org 2c940477-...) has 4 workspaces,
+// ALL runtime=external with empty URL → ALL delivery_mode=poll (proven
+// empirically: a benign A2A probe returns the synthetic
+// {"delivery_mode":"poll","status":"queued"} envelope for every one).
+// So his reported loss is the POLL path, NOT the push path #1347 fixes.
+//
+// Root cause (poll arm): the poll-mode short-circuit (a2a_proxy.go ~402)
+// calls logA2AReceiveQueued and then IMMEDIATELY returns the synthetic
+// 200 {status:"queued"} to the canvas. But logA2AReceiveQueued's durable
+// INSERT runs inside h.goAsync(...) — a DETACHED goroutine with NO
+// happens-before barrier against the HTTP response. The canvas sees 200
+// ("message accepted") while the activity_logs row may not yet be — and,
+// on a workspace-server restart / deploy / OOM / EC2 hibernation between
+// the 200 and the goroutine's commit, NEVER will be — durable. There is
+// also no fallback (unlike push-mode's legacy-INSERT fallback): a
+// swallowed LogActivity error loses the message with only a log line.
+// Chat-history reads activity_logs (postgres_store.go:165-187); a missing
+// row = message gone on reopen. That is exactly Hongming's symptom.
+//
+// Fix (parity with push-mode): the poll-mode ingest persist of the
+// canvas user message must be SYNCHRONOUS — committed before the queued
+// 200 is returned — on a context.WithoutCancel derived context, so a
+// client disconnect on chat-exit and a post-response restart cannot lose
+// it. Behavior is never worse than today (best-effort; a persist error
+// still returns queued).
+//
+// TEST DESIGN NOTE: sqlmock.ExpectationsWereMet() hangs indefinitely if
+// the expected query never fires. We use a select+default+time.After
+// pattern so the test FAILS fast (not hangs) when the production code
+// regresses to async (the INSERT never fires before handler returns),
+// while still returning promptly when all expectations are met. The
+// insertDelay is kept small (50ms) to minimise suite-level timing
+// impact under -race detection, where mock delays are amplified by
+// the instrumenter's goroutine overhead.

+    POSTs to the platform with source_id set to the *sender's* workspace
+    UUID (mandated by spoof-defense in workspace-server's a2a_proxy). The

+    kind='peer_agent' with the workspace's own identity as peer_id —
+    the workspace sees its own delegation-failure echoed back as if a
+    peer had delegated to it.
+
+    The guard mirrors the existing _is_self_notify_row pattern: both

+    from the self-echo guard even when source_id matches our workspace_id.
+    The platform may write a delegation-result row with source_id set to
+    our workspace_id (e.g. a self-delegation or edge case in the platform's
