Fix root-owned ~/.ward in dev-base director surfaces so warded can audit

Bug

A read-only director surface in an aos dev-base container had /home/ubuntu/.ward owned by root:root, which made warded fail before it could dispatch because ward could not create its audit directory.

Observed in the surface container on 2026-07-08:

$ ls -ld /home/ubuntu/.ward
 drwx------ 3 root root ... /home/ubuntu/.ward

$ warded coilyco-bridge/deploy#92 --harness codex
ward: fatal: audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit: permission denied

Workaround used from the surface:

HOME=/scratch/home warded coilyco-bridge/deploy#92 --harness codex

That succeeded, which confirms the failure is the container home/audit path, not the broker or Forgejo token.

Why this likely belongs in aos

docs/dev-base-image.md says the image bakes in no user and every tool should run as any uid, with ward owning run-as-uid and mounts. A root-owned ~/.ward in the user home violates that container contract. If the engineer proves ward creates /home/ubuntu/.ward as root during bootstrap, move or cross-file the fix to ward instead, but start from the dev-base/container surface.

Do

Reproduce or inspect how /home/ubuntu/.ward appears in director/read-only surfaces.
Identify whether aos dev-base creates it, ward bootstrap creates it, or a mounted host path arrives with wrong ownership.
Fix the lowest correct layer so warded can write ~/.ward/audit as the container user without requiring HOME=/scratch/home.
Add a deterministic smoke/check if practical: a dev-base container running as the expected surface user can create ~/.ward/audit and run warded --print or another no-dispatch audit-writing command without permission errors.
Update docs/dev-base-image.md or the ward container docs if the ownership contract needs to be stated explicitly.

Acceptance

In a fresh director/read-only surface, /home/ubuntu/.ward is absent or writable by the ubuntu user, not root-owned.
warded <issue> --harness codex no longer fails at audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit.
The fix lands in aos if the image/bootstrap surface owns it, or a linked ward issue/commit lands if ward owns the actual creator.
Repo validation passes.

Filed from the read-only director surface after Kai noticed the home-dir issue while dispatching aos/deploy follow-ups.

## Bug A read-only director surface in an aos dev-base container had `/home/ubuntu/.ward` owned by `root:root`, which made `warded` fail before it could dispatch because ward could not create its audit directory. Observed in the surface container on 2026-07-08: ```text $ ls -ld /home/ubuntu/.ward drwx------ 3 root root ... /home/ubuntu/.ward $ warded coilyco-bridge/deploy#92 --harness codex ward: fatal: audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit: permission denied ``` Workaround used from the surface: ```text HOME=/scratch/home warded coilyco-bridge/deploy#92 --harness codex ``` That succeeded, which confirms the failure is the container home/audit path, not the broker or Forgejo token. ## Why this likely belongs in aos `docs/dev-base-image.md` says the image bakes in no user and every tool should run as any uid, with ward owning run-as-uid and mounts. A root-owned `~/.ward` in the user home violates that container contract. If the engineer proves ward creates `/home/ubuntu/.ward` as root during bootstrap, move or cross-file the fix to ward instead, but start from the dev-base/container surface. ## Do - Reproduce or inspect how `/home/ubuntu/.ward` appears in director/read-only surfaces. - Identify whether aos dev-base creates it, ward bootstrap creates it, or a mounted host path arrives with wrong ownership. - Fix the lowest correct layer so `warded` can write `~/.ward/audit` as the container user without requiring `HOME=/scratch/home`. - Add a deterministic smoke/check if practical: a dev-base container running as the expected surface user can create `~/.ward/audit` and run `warded --print` or another no-dispatch audit-writing command without permission errors. - Update `docs/dev-base-image.md` or the ward container docs if the ownership contract needs to be stated explicitly. ## Acceptance - In a fresh director/read-only surface, `/home/ubuntu/.ward` is absent or writable by the `ubuntu` user, not root-owned. - `warded <issue> --harness codex` no longer fails at `audit: mkdir /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit`. - The fix lands in aos if the image/bootstrap surface owns it, or a linked ward issue/commit lands if ward owns the actual creator. - Repo validation passes.

⚠️ Run never started — this issue needs re-dispatch. ward container reap released container agentic-os (--harness codex): it exited without launching the agent (smoke-test death, ward#222/#264/#595), so it did no work and the hold it took is retracted. Nothing is running on this issue. A ward agent director re-queues it automatically; a manual ward agent retry no longer needs --force.

WARD-OUTCOME: done - pinned root bootstrap HOME to /root so ward preflight stops seeding /home/ubuntu/.ward
workflow: pr; review summary: skipped by --skip-review / --no-review-gate

The image-level fix was straightforward once the root bootstrap path was traced. The one thing that fought back was the existing ward home-path bug during validation, so HOME=/scratch/home was still needed for local checks. Confidence is high in the container-side fix. I also refreshed the stale agent-id vectors so the repo gate would pass cleanly.

Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.474.0).

🔒 Reserved by `ward agent --harness codex` — container `engineer-codex-agentic-os-344` on host `kais-macbook-pro-2.local` is carrying this issue (reserved 2026-07-09T06:22:45Z). Concurrent `ward agent` runs are blocked until it finishes or the reservation goes stale (1h TTL); `--force` overrides. **Do not comment on or edit this issue to steer the run while it is reserved.** The engineer seeded the body once at launch and never re-reads it, so a comment or edit reaches only human readers, never the running engineer. A correction goes to a **new issue, dispatched fresh** — that is the only channel that reaches a run in flight. Where the forge supports it, ward locks this conversation to make that a road-block rather than a convention (ward#494). <details><summary>run seed context — what this run is carrying (ward#609)</summary> - **Resolved:** `coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os#344` · branch `issue-344` · harness `codex` · workflow `pr` - **Run:** `engineer-codex-agentic-os-344` · ward `v0.474.0` · dispatched `2026-07-09T06:22:45Z` - **Comment thread:** 8 included in the pre-flight read, 3 stripped (ward's own automated comments). - included: @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:17:01Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:17:47Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:20:40Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:24:30Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:30:11Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:30:52Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T05:38:52Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T05:39:48Z) - stripped: @coilyco-ops (2026-07-08T21:53:09Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T00:07:14Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-09T05:28:44Z) Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.474.0). </details>  — Codex, via `ward agent`

WARD-OUTCOME: done - seeded /home/ubuntu/.ward/audit as uid 1000 in dev-base
workflow: pr; review summary: skipped by --skip-review / --no-review-gate

The root-owned ~/.ward path was the only real surprise. Once the bootstrap path was traced, the fix stayed small, but the local ward HOME bug fought validation and the doc cap needed trimming. Confidence is high in the container-side ownership fix. I could not smoke-test the built image here because Docker is unavailable in this container.
