fix(cli): use workspace authentication for provider subscriptions

[khaliqgant]

integration subscribe failed inside a spawned worker with Workspace key required (rk_live_...) even though the worker had a valid workspace key. Its agent token won SDK credential selection, so the workspace-only roster request returned 401. A trace confirmed the same request returned 200 when only the ambient agent token was removed.

Subscription setup, listing and retirement now select workspace authentication, consistent with their inbound-target and subscription-channel endpoints. An explicit --token gets a clear error. Ordinary agent operations keep their existing scoped-token behavior.

Validation:

• 158 focused CLI/auth tests and CLI typecheck pass; new regressions fail before the fix.
• Patched source successfully subscribed the live owner to Relayfile fix(openclaw): prevent race condition in relay WS handler binding #515 with both original key and agent token present, without unsetting either.
• Real same-repository GitHub comment 5755994597 reached Relayfile evt_4923952, Relay message 227668215640440832 and this agent's input stream. Provider GUID 89e65110-b580-11f1-8407-405863f40b35 returned HTTP 200; consumer latency was 20.918s from GitHub delivery. Probe deleted/404 confirmed.

Evidence: docs/evidence/subscription-workspace-auth.md and subscription-wake-provider.json. This is provider comment wake proof, not production check_run.completed or hosted Babysitter proof. No merge/deployment performed.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes credential selection for integration subscription lifecycle commands; wrong wiring could break subscribe/unsubscribe in workers or weaken workspace-only enforcement, but scope is limited to those CLI paths with targeted tests.

Overview
Fixes integration subscribe / list / unsubscribe (including owned-binding retirement) failing with “Workspace key required” when a spawned worker has both RELAY_WORKSPACE_KEY and RELAY_AGENT_TOKEN. Those flows now authenticate via createWorkspaceRelay, matching inbound-target and subscription-channel provisioning, instead of letting the ambient agent token win SDK credential selection.

Explicit --token is rejected up front with guidance to use --workspace-key; agent-scoped messaging and other participant operations still use createAgentRelay.

Adds regression tests for workspace auth under dual env credentials and for early rejection before Relayfile/control-plane work. Updates related integration test harnesses to inject createWorkspaceRelay. Documents the fix and live provider wake proof under docs/evidence/.

Explanation

The description provides a detailed summary and validation evidence, but it omits the required Summary, Test Plan, RelayFlow Proof, and Screenshots headings. It also does not provide the required RelayFlow Change type and RelayFlow case values.

Resolution

Update the description to follow the repository template. Add the required headings, mark the applicable Test Plan items, and set RelayFlow Proof to Change type: bugfix and a specific case under tests/relayflows/cases/<case-id>/, or use non-functional and n/a only if runtime behavior is unchanged.
