[deep-report] Diagnose Smoke Claude schedule/PR environment divergence — add MCP init diagnostic step

[github-actions]

Description

The Smoke Claude workflow consistently fails on daily schedule runs but passes when triggered by pull requests. This environment-specific failure (tracked as #25727) suggests a difference in auth tokens, MCP initialization, or environment variables between schedule and pull_request trigger contexts. No diagnostic step has been added to capture what differs.

Expected Impact

Understanding this divergence will improve Claude schedule reliability and surface a systemic risk that could affect any environment-sensitive workflow. Fix could restore Smoke Claude effectiveness from 35/100 → 80+/100.

Suggested Agent

Agentic Maintenance agent — add a diagnostic step to the Smoke Claude workflow that logs MCP initialization output and compares environment variables between schedule and PR activation. Then diff the outputs to identify the root cause.

Estimated Effort

Medium (1-4 hours) — add diagnostic, run, analyze diff, apply fix
