🛫 ward pre-flight: NO-GO

ward agent claude headless ran a pre-flight feasibility read on this issue before detaching a fire-and-forget run, and the agent judged it NO-GO - it should not be carried unattended until a human weighs in.

no description and an unspecified agent-name-to-git-identity mapping - a human should pin the name source and email format before an unattended run.

No container was launched. Review the issue (clarify the scope, resolve the unknown, or split it), then re-dispatch - ward agent claude headless <ref> --no-preflight skips this gate once you've decided it's good to go.

full pre-flight read

The core unknown is how a bot's "agent name" gets resolved at ward entrypoint time and what the git name/email should concretely look like - the self-naming scheme (claude-<os>-<hostname>-<tag>-<pronouns>) is per-session and tag-derived, so it's not obviously available as a stable env value at container boot, and the issue gives no target format for the email prefix. The issue text itself hedges ("probably needs an entrypoint sh step"), meaning even the author hasn't pinned the mechanism, so I'd be inventing both the name-derivation source and the git-config wiring with no spec to check against. That's a genuine design fork where a wrong guess bakes a wrong identity into every bot commit - costly and externally visible once it lands on canonical main. This belongs in agentic-os (ward lives here), so it's the right repo, just underspecified.

NO-GO: no description and an unspecified agent-name-to-git-identity mapping - a human should pin the name source and email format before an unattended run.

Goose triage - 2026-06-17

  • Tier: P4 (score 38) - Low priority backlog item, not urgent
  • Mode: consult - Ambiguous ask, needs design decision on implementation approach.

Auto-generated by ward exec goose-triage (qwen3-coder:30b), edited in place on each run. Labels are the conclusion; this is the why.

🔁 backlog-loop dispatch - this issue was auto-dispatched by the supervised backlog loop.

When you finish, your final issue comment must start with exactly one of:

  • WARD-OUTCOME: done - landed/merged, nothing more needed.
  • WARD-OUTCOME: blocked - <the specific decision or information you need from a human>
  • WARD-OUTCOME: failed - <why, briefly>

Put your candid retrospective on the line(s) below it. The supervising loop reads this
line to decide whether to close you out, ask a human to unblock you, or retry. If you
are blocked, be concrete about the single thing you need - that is what gets answered.

Landed this from the agentic-os side as a SessionStart git-identity stamp baked into the dev-base image: a gitidentity mode on agent-name.sh that sets git config --global user.name to the agent's self-name, wired through the policy-tier managed-settings.json.

The interesting part was the tension the pre-flight NO-GO flagged. The title asks for the agent name as both git name and email prefix, but ward's own agent-attribution.md (post-dating this issue) makes the email load-bearing: Forgejo links a commit to the coilyco-ops account by exact email match, so a per-agent email prefix would quietly break the avatar/account link. So I split the difference on purpose: name = agent, email untouched (falls through to the bot at --system). A warded commit now reads claude-linux-<host>-<tag>-she-her <coilyco-ops@coilysiren.me> - named per agent, still account-linked.

The other thing that clicked: SessionStart is genuinely the earliest the full name exists, since the distinguishing tag comes from the session_id the entrypoint can't know at bring-up. So the late hook isn't a workaround, it's the only place this can live in agentic-os.

Fairly confident in the result - tests cover the name stamp, the untouched email, and idempotency, and the full suite plus pre-commit are green. Two honest rough edges worth a follow-up: this only covers the claude harness (it rides claude's policy settings), so codex/goose still need ward's WARD_GIT_NAME knob, and the truly cross-harness home for this is ward's entrypoint, which is out of scope from this container. If a single cross-harness stamp is wanted, that's a small ward issue to file.
