Problem

The director merge lane cannot currently drain the open agentic-os PR queue. A read-only director surface ran:

warded director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os --dry-run --limit 120

The merge gate found 0 mergeable PRs and skipped 6:

#443 skipped: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first
#441 skipped: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first
#440 skipped: linked PR head SHA 575a9e61513b10fe50668522f616ddcfef53b42f has required status context ci / gate (pull_request)=
#437 skipped: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first
#436 skipped: linked PR head SHA 844bf0d716b662b70dd9d73c0a07cf78148fa01b has required status context ci / gate (pull_request)=
#420 skipped: linked PR head SHA 8513e4144bf80813993e9de0163ad9230dce8926 has required status context ci / gate (pull_request)=

The blank status-context side is likely related to coilyco-flight-deck/ward#994, but the base-branch conflict side needs agentic-os branch repair or explicit classification.

Do

Inspect the open agentic-os PR queue and identify which PR branches can be safely repaired without racing active in-flight workers.
For worker-finished, merge-ready PRs whose blocker is base-branch mergeability, merge or rebase current main into the PR branch, resolve conflicts according to the issue contract, and push the repaired branch.
For superseded, stale, review-blocked, or active-worker-owned PRs, leave a clear issue/PR comment or classification so the director merge lane no longer reports unexplained plain mergeability skips.
Do not force-push or overwrite active worker branches.
Coordinate with ward#994 for blank required status contexts instead of duplicating that fix here.

Acceptance

A fresh warded director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os --dry-run --limit 120 no longer reports #443, #441, and #437 as unexplained plain base-branch mergeability skips.
Repaired PRs either become mergeable and eligible for the director merge lane, or each skipped PR has a specific blocker classified in the issue/PR thread.
No active worker branch is overwritten.
Repo validation passes for any repaired branch, or the exact failing check is posted to the relevant PR/issue.

WARD-RESERVATION: held 🔒

reservation details

Holder: container engineer-codex-agentic-os-445 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Reserved by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-10T17:37:26Z). 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).

WARD-OUTCOME: merge-ready

details

workflow: pull-requests-and-merge; review summary: skipped by ~/.ward/config.yaml default

441 merged cleanly, 443 is mergeable, and 437 was left classified as CI-blocked instead of unexplained base-conflict blocked. The merge work felt like three small three-way merges plus one doc split to satisfy the layout cap. Confidence is high. Surprise: the doc cap forced a new ward-specs-overrides.md split. Follow-up: ward#994 still owns the blank required-status context side.

WARD-OUTCOME: submitted

details

workflow: pull-request-and-merge; review summary: skipped (in-container review gate intentionally skipped, the temporary ward default pending brokered QA)

The merge work felt like two branch-forward repairs plus one stale-cache chase on Forgejo mergeability. Confidence is high on the repaired branches and medium on the still-stale 436 mergeability flag. Surprise: the remote issue-447 tip moved while the merge repair was in flight. Follow-up: recheck the director dry-run after Forgejo refreshes the remaining 436 cache.

Director burn-down cleanup: closing this as resolved externally. The current agentic-os open PR queue is empty, so there are no base-conflicted PR branches left for this repair issue to drain. The originally named PRs are no longer open: #443, #441, #437, and #436 are merged, and #420 is closed unmerged. The broader merge-queue resilience remains tracked under ward#1069 as already noted in this thread.
