test(cli): verify credential reservation rollback

[jyaunches]

Summary

The compiled credentials package contract now matches the reservation protocol introduced by #9546. A rejected gateway call must record and then release the temporary provider reservation.

Related Issue

Fixes #9565

Changes

• Rename the rejected-gateway package contract to describe rollback.
• Verify that the action records tavily-search before the gateway call and releases it after failure.

Type of Change

• Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
• Code change with doc updates
• Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
• Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

• Tests added or updated for changed behavior
• Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
• Tests not applicable — justification:
• Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
• Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: The diff changes only compiled-package evidence. It records provider names, adds no credential values, and verifies rollback after a rejected gateway write.
• Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Verification

• PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
• Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
• Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — env PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin /opt/homebrew/bin/node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project package-contract test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts passed 25 tests.
• Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result:
• Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
• No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
• npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
• Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
• New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new docs only)

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-1 Warning — Assert the gateway call between reservation and release

• Location: test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts:416
• Category: tests
• Problem: The changed package-contract test records reservation and release events but does not record the rejected provider-create call.
• Impact: The test passes if the command releases the reservation before it attempts the gateway provider creation.
• Recommendation: Record the provider-create event in the runOpenshell stub and assert record, create, then forget for tavily-search.
• Verification: Inspect the event list in this test and confirm that it includes the rejected provider-create call between record and forget.
• Test coverage: Extend this package-contract test to assert record:tavily-search, create:tavily-search, and forget:tavily-search in that order when provider creation fails.
• Evidence: test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts:416-430 returns a rejected provider-create result without adding a create event. test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts:444-447 asserts only record:tavily-search and forget:tavily-search. src/commands/credentials.test.ts:218-220 verifies that source behavior records the reservation before the OpenShell provider command.

[prekshivyas]

Reviewed head 9aaef63. Current base 7afe395 already contains the stronger rollback regression from #9566: it asserts record, rejected gateway call, forget ordering and an empty final provider set. The current three-dot PR diff is therefore only the test-title rename adding (#9565), with no remaining behavioral or coverage change. I am not approving a redundant delta; this PR appears superseded by #9566 and can be closed without losing the fix.

[prekshivyas]

Closing as superseded by #9566, which merged the stronger rollback regression into main. With #9566 in the base, this PR’s remaining diff only renames the test to reference #9565; it adds no behavioral or coverage change. Issue #9565 should be closed or updated separately because this PR will not be merged.
