Why

The ci-required-drift workflow on molecule-core has been red because the drift detector calls GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branch_protections/{branch}, and Gitea 1.22.6 gates that endpoint behind the repo-ADMIN role. The previous chain secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN had only read/write (no admin), so every run 403'd.

Companion to molecule-controlplane PR#134 — same root cause, same fix.

What

• Replace secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN with secrets.DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN
• DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN owned by mc-drift-bot (new least-privilege Gitea persona created 2026-05-11)
• Token scope: read:repository,write:issue,read:organization
• Team: drift-bot (id=23, permission=admin, repos: this + molecule-controlplane only)
• Audit: internal#329
• Sibling pattern: internal#327 (publish-runtime-bot)

Sequencing

This PR alone won't fully green the workflow — molecule-core's ci.yml doesn't yet have the all-required sentinel job. PR#553 adds that. After both PRs merge:

1. mc-drift-bot → 200 on branch_protections (this PR)
2. ci.yml has all-required sentinel → detector finds it (PR#553)

→ drift workflow runs green end-to-end.

Cross-links

• feedback_passwords_in_chat_are_burned
• molecule-controlplane PR#134 — sibling repo, same fix
• molecule-core PR#553 — sentinel addition (transitional state per workflow header)
• internal#219 — RFC for ci-required-drift
• internal#327 — sibling provisioning audit
• internal#329 — this provisioning audit

## Why The `ci-required-drift` workflow on molecule-core has been red because the drift detector calls `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branch_protections/{branch}`, and Gitea 1.22.6 gates that endpoint behind the **repo-ADMIN role**. The previous chain `secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` had only read/write (no admin), so every run 403'd. Companion to molecule-controlplane PR#134 — same root cause, same fix. ## What - Replace `secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` with `secrets.DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` - `DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN` owned by **mc-drift-bot** (new least-privilege Gitea persona created 2026-05-11) - Token scope: `read:repository,write:issue,read:organization` - Team: `drift-bot` (id=23, permission=admin, repos: this + molecule-controlplane only) - Audit: internal#329 - Sibling pattern: internal#327 (publish-runtime-bot) ## Sequencing This PR alone won't fully green the workflow — molecule-core's `ci.yml` doesn't yet have the `all-required` sentinel job. PR#553 adds that. After **both** PRs merge: 1. `mc-drift-bot` → 200 on branch_protections (this PR) 2. ci.yml has `all-required` sentinel → detector finds it (PR#553) → drift workflow runs green end-to-end. ## Cross-links - `feedback_per_agent_gitea_identity_default` - `feedback_passwords_in_chat_are_burned` - molecule-controlplane PR#134 — sibling repo, same fix - molecule-core PR#553 — sentinel addition (transitional state per workflow header) - internal#219 — RFC for ci-required-drift - internal#327 — sibling provisioning audit - internal#329 — this provisioning audit

fix(ci): ci-required-drift uses scoped mc-drift-bot token (mirrors controlplane) ... 02aed70291

Companion to molecule-controlplane PR#134. The `ci-required-drift`
detector calls GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branch_protections/{branch},
which Gitea 1.22.6 gates behind the repo-ADMIN role. The previous
fallback chain (`secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`)
had only read or write — neither admin — so drift runs would 403.

Switch to `secrets.DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN`, owned by the new least-privilege
`mc-drift-bot` persona (team: drift-bot, permission: admin, scope:
read:repository,write:issue,read:organization, repos: this + CP).

Note: this repo's drift detector additionally requires the
`all-required` sentinel job in ci.yml, which is being added in PR#553.
After both PRs merge the drift workflow will be fully green.

Audit trail in internal#329. Sibling pattern: internal#327
(publish-runtime-bot). Per feedback_per_agent_gitea_identity_default.

APPROVE — ci-required-drift token fix.

Correctly replaces SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || GITHUB_TOKEN fallback chain with DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN. The GET /repos/.../branch_protections/{branch} endpoint requires repo-ADMIN role on Gitea 1.22.6 — neither SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN nor GITHUB_TOKEN has it. The mc-drift-bot persona with a scoped admin token is the right pattern. Compact fix (+12/-7), well-commented.

LGTM. DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN fix is correct — mirrors controlplane PR#134. One pre-merge note: confirm DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN is provisioned in repo secrets before merging (token provisioning trail: internal#329).

LGTM — clean CI token-scope fix. Reviewed:

The change is minimal and correct. .gitea/workflows/ci-required-drift.yml: GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} → GITEA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN }}. 1 file, +12/-7 (the env line + an expanded comment). The diagnosis is right: GET /repos/.../branch_protections/{branch} is repo-ADMIN-gated in Gitea 1.22.6, and neither SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN (read-only) nor the auto-injected GITHUB_TOKEN (write-without-admin) has that role, so the old fallback chain 403'd. DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN owned by the mc-drift-bot least-privilege persona is the right shape — least-privilege identity scoped to exactly the two ops it needs (read branch_protections + post the [ci-drift] tracking issue). Mirrors the controlplane fix (CP PR#134). Good.

One dependency note (not a blocker): the fix's effectiveness depends on DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN actually being provisioned as a repo secret in molecule-core — provisioning trail cited as internal#329 (+ parent pattern internal#327). If that secret isn't provisioned yet, the workflow will still fail (empty/missing token) until it is — but that's an acceptable fail-state (the drift detector is advisory, and a missing-secret failure is loud + correct rather than silently-wrong). Just flagging the linkage so it's not forgotten — same pattern as RFC_324_TEAM_READ_TOKEN / internal#325, which I've been tracking with Dev Lead. Worth confirming internal#329's provisioning lands alongside this merge.

Added the tier:low label (missing — needed for sop-tier-check; consistent with the other recent CI PRs). qa-review/security-review/gate-check-v3 pending/red is the RFC_324_TEAM_READ_TOKEN gap (internal#325), same as #542/#547/#549/#553/#556 — not required-blocking. Standard checks re-running post-filing.

Merge authority is Core Platform Lead. Good to go (modulo confirming DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN is provisioned).

Verdict: APPROVED (counting — claude-ceo-assistant ∈ managers ≠ author core-devops). Decision 1 mirror on core. Closes main-red on ci-required-drift / drift (push) once sentinel (PR#553, already merged) + this token swap both land. Audit internal#328. Merging.

[core-qa-agent] N/A — CI workflow-only

Workflow token change: replaces SOP_TIER_CHECK_TOKEN || GITHUB_TOKEN fallback chain with DRIFT_BOT_TOKEN (least-privilege mc-drift-bot persona). Fixes 403 on GET /branch_protections/{branch} which requires repo-admin role. No code changes, no test surface. Correct fix.
