feat: PR2 — target resolution seam (openshell.ResolveTarget)

PR2 — Target resolution seam

Gives harness-openshell one owner of target resolution: turning
--gateway/--workspace flags and OPENSHELL_* env vars into an
openshell.Target, applied identically by every SDK-backed command. Proven by
migrating doctor (the only SDK command today) onto it and deleting its private
copy of the logic. Explicit gateway selection is now structural — the SDK path
can no longer silently fall back to "whichever gateway is active."

Second PR in the OpenShell Go SDK modernization series (follows PR1, the SDK
foundation).

What changed

S1 — openshell.ResolveTarget (internal/openshell/target.go)

• New pure resolver: ResolveTarget(flagGateway, flagWorkspace string, getenv func(string) string) Target, applying flag > env > empty per field.
• Exports EnvGateway/EnvWorkspace constants.
• Takes an injected getenv, so internal/openshell stays SDK-free and cobra-free.
• Does no defaulting — an unset workspace stays ""; sdkclient remains the single owner of "" → "default". Folds in the PR1 audit nit by removing the redundant workspace default in sdkclient.New.

S2 — migrate doctor (cmd/doctor.go, cmd/target.go)

• New registerTargetFlags helper registers --gateway/--workspace per-command (not root-persistent), shared by every future SDK command.
• doctor builds its Target via ResolveTarget; runOnlineChecks now takes an openshell.Target.
• Deletes the private resolveOnlineFlag and defaultDoctorWorkspace (hard cutover — no dual path).

Invariants added (extend PR1's seven)

8. One owner of target resolution (ResolveTarget).
9. One owner of the workspace default (sdkclient).
10. Explicit gateway selection is structural — no active-gateway fallback on the SDK path.
11. internal/openshell stays SDK-free and cobra-free.

Verification

• Full go test ./..., go vet ./..., golangci-lint run ./... — all green, 0 lint issues.
• Firewall greps clean: no SDK/cobra import in internal/openshell/*.go; no SDK import in the touched cmd files.
• Gateway-isolation test: --gateway A constructs A exactly once and never touches B.
• End-to-end flag-plumbing test through cobra.Execute() (--gateway, $OPENSHELL_GATEWAY, and both).
• Live mTLS smoke: doctor --gateway openshell and OPENSHELL_GATEWAY=openshell doctor both report gateway status connected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added consistent gateway and workspace configuration across commands, including environment-variable fallbacks.
  • Gateway and workspace settings now follow clear flag-over-environment precedence.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved doctor checks to target only the selected gateway.
  • Preserved graceful handling when gateways or client connections are unavailable.
  • Ensured empty workspace settings use the default workspace when connecting.

Walkthrough

The doctor command now uses shared gateway and workspace flags with centralized flag-and-environment resolution. Resolved targets flow into online checks and client construction. Workspace defaulting remains centralized in NewFromClient.

Changes

Target resolution and doctor integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Centralized target resolution internal/openshell/target.go, internal/openshell/target_test.go, cmd/target.go	Added environment constants, pure target resolution, table-driven tests, and shared gateway/workspace flag registration.
Doctor target wiring cmd/doctor.go, cmd/doctor_test.go	Doctor uses registered target flags, passes openshell.Target to online checks and client construction, and tests precedence and gateway isolation.
Workspace default ownership internal/openshell/sdkclient/client.go, internal/openshell/sdkclient/client_test.go	Client construction forwards empty workspaces to NewFromClient, which applies the "default" workspace behavior covered by tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0ca3

Target resolution can ignore configured gateway and workspace values when flags and environment variables are unset, potentially directing doctor checks to the wrong target or default workspace. Merge should wait until this fallback behavior is corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.
