The aos ward-specs bundle config is too brittle, and a recent split silently dropped a capability. This issue does two coupled things on that bundle: (A) restore the per-role x per-harness model/reasoning-effort overrides and (B) remove the brittle exact-match validation, replacing the release packaging with a wildcard.

A. Restore per-role x per-harness overrides in .ward/roles.kdl

Commit 8a04260 split .ward/ward-kdl.fleet.kdl into agents.kdl / roles.kdl / defaults.kdl and in doing so dropped the per-role x per-harness model + reasoning-effort override blocks. The new roles.kdl carries only tagline / capabilities / guardfiles.

The deleted ward-kdl.fleet.kdl carried these overlays under roles:

role director {
    agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort xhigh }
    agent codex  { model gpt-5.5;         reasoning-effort xhigh }
}
role advisor {
    agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort high }
    agent codex  { model gpt-5.5;         reasoning-effort high }
}
role ops {
    agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort xhigh }
    agent codex  { model gpt-5.5;         reasoning-effort xhigh }
}

Re-add these override blocks to .ward/roles.kdl for director, advisor, and ops, using the split-file node shape (siblings of the guardfile "..." nodes). This is a data restore, not an engine change: cli-guard's fleetconfig still parses them into Role.AgentConfig via parseRoleAgent (RoleAgentOverride{ Model, Endpoint, ReasoningEffort, Verbosity }) - see /substrate/cli-guard/pkg/fleetconfig/fleetconfig.go. ward applies the overlay at dispatch (verified/tracked separately in ward#1029).

Motivation: this overlay is what lets a role retune model/effort per harness - e.g. running the claude director on a cheaper model like claude-fable-5 instead of always paying opus-4-8. Restore the mechanism faithfully with the values above; do not bake a director-model change into this issue.

B. Remove the brittle ward-specs validation; wildcard the release packaging

The exact-string validator is too brittle (it is what let A regress unnoticed, and it forces a manual edit to the release tar list on every bundle-file add/remove). Remove it entirely:

  1. Delete agentic_os/pre_commit/check_ward_specs_bundle.py.
  2. Delete tests/test_ward_specs_bundle.py.
  3. Remove the hook wiring so nothing dangles:
    • pyproject.toml - the check-ward-specs-bundle = "agentic_os.pre_commit.check_ward_specs_bundle:main" console-script entry (line ~46).
    • .pre-commit-config.yaml - the ward-specs-bundle hook (lines ~12-14), this repo's own dogfood use.
    • .pre-commit-hooks.yaml - the ward-specs-bundle catalog hook definition (lines ~115-118).
    • Before dropping it from the catalog, confirm no consumer repo's .pre-commit-config.yaml references the ward-specs-bundle hook id. It validates coilyco's .ward/ bundle, which only exists in aos, so this should be aos-only - but verify, since .pre-commit-hooks.yaml is the shared catalog surface.
  4. Wildcard the release tar list in .forgejo/workflows/release.yml (the explicit enumeration at lines ~434-449). Replace the hand-maintained file list with a glob so new bundle files are packaged automatically. Constraints that MUST be preserved (see the comment block just above those lines):
    • ward.yaml must stay OUT of the bundle. .ward/ holds ward.yaml (ward's own command allowlist) alongside the bundle members; a naive -C .ward . would sweep it into ward's overlay input. Exclude it explicitly, e.g. tar --sort=name --mtime='UTC 1970-01-01' --owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner -C .ward --exclude=./ward.yaml -cf ward-specs.tar . (also exclude the transient ./ward-specs.tar if tar would see it).
    • Deterministic + reproducible: keep --sort=name (which now genuinely sorts the recursive traversal), zeroed mtime/owner, and gzip -n, so the checksum stays reproducible from the tag.
    • Flat, ./-prefixed layout unchanged, so ward#503's overlay needs no change.
    • The current .ward/ bundle members are: agents.kdl, defaults.kdl, forgejo-actions-logs.sh, forgejo.swagger.lock.json, guardfile.aws.kdl, guardfile.forgejo.admin.kdl, guardfile.forgejo.kdl, guardfile.forgejo.read.kdl, guardfile.forgejo.readactions.kdl, guardfile.forgejo.write.kdl, guardfile.kubectl.kdl, repos.kdl, roles.kdl, specverb.lock - and only ward.yaml must be excluded. (This wildcard also frees the list from manual edits when e.g. forgejo.swagger.lock.json is later removed per #435.)

Docs

Update docs/ward-specs.md: (a) document the per-role x per-harness override layer, and (b) reflect that the bundle is now packaged by wildcard rather than an exact-match validator + hand-maintained tar list.

Acceptance

  • .ward/roles.kdl carries the director / advisor / ops per-harness model + reasoning-effort overrides.
  • check_ward_specs_bundle.py, tests/test_ward_specs_bundle.py, and all three hook-wiring references are gone; no consumer repo references the dropped catalog hook.
  • .forgejo/workflows/release.yml packages the bundle by wildcard, excluding ward.yaml, staying deterministic/reproducible and flat/./-prefixed.
  • pre-commit run --all-files is green.
  • docs/ward-specs.md updated.

Related

  • Regressed by 8a04260 (bundle split).
  • ward#1029 - ward-side application of the restored overrides (verify through the ward#1009 split-file migration).
  • #435 - stop committing forgejo.swagger.lock.json (the wildcard makes its later removal a no-op on this workflow).
  • cli-guard parser: /substrate/cli-guard/pkg/fleetconfig/fleetconfig.go.

The new `roles.kdl` carries only tagline / capabilities / guardfiles. The deleted `ward-kdl.fleet.kdl` carried these overlays under `roles`: ```kdl role director { agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort xhigh } agent codex { model gpt-5.5; reasoning-effort xhigh } } role advisor { agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort high } agent codex { model gpt-5.5; reasoning-effort high } } role ops { agent claude { model claude-opus-4-8; reasoning-effort xhigh } agent codex { model gpt-5.5; reasoning-effort xhigh } } ``` Re-add these override blocks to `.ward/roles.kdl` for `director`, `advisor`, and `ops`, using the split-file node shape (siblings of the `guardfile "..."` nodes).

WARD-RESERVATION: released 🛑

release details

Run never started. ward container reap released container engineer-codex-agentic-os-438 (--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. It needs re-dispatch. A ward agent director re-queues it automatically. A manual ward agent retry no longer needs --force.

The director-startup / ward doctor breakage from the bundle reshape is now fixed and verified green end to end. Root cause: the reshape authored .ward/ contents in a schema no released ward parsed, so ward agent director failed config validation at startup (ward doctor 3/4 surfaces FAIL).

Landed:

  • aos main 566f42f — re-nested repos.kdl under the repo-authority default=forgejo { … } wrapper the reshape dropped; stripped ward's product-preset role bodies (tagline/capabilities/modes/posture) from roles.kdl (fleet parser wants only guardfile | guardfiles | agent); repointed check_ward_specs_bundle.py's EXPECTED_REPOS at the wrapped schema.
  • ward v0.584.0 60133a8 — the bundle ops surface loaded the role-facing guardfile.forgejo.write.kdl (which inherits across files and carries placeholder values); ward byte-parses guardfiles with no ParseFile path, so the whole ward ops forgejo surface failed to mount. Now loads the self-contained guardfile.forgejo.kdl monolith (real values), mirroring the baked source.

ward doctor against 566f42f with v0.584.0: all checks pass; ward ops forgejo mounts with real values.

The issue-438 branch's engineer-codex run failed (WARD-DISPATCH: failed) and is superseded by the above.

Remaining #438 scope (not covered here): restoring per-harness role overrides, and the "remove the brittle validator/test" preference — the validator was repaired to gate on the correct schema rather than removed. Leaving open for that; close if that scope is dropped.

The **director-startup / `ward doctor` breakage** from the bundle reshape is now fixed and verified green end to end.

Agent can take it from open issue to merged change with no human in the loop. The auto-burndown queue.
