the advisor role specced here coilyco-flight-deck/ward@f61b210c54/.ward/ward-kdl/ward-kdl.roles.kdl

remove refs to it across the repo

but keep the functionality intact - the point of this work item is to validate the ability to define a custom role from scratch. that is not something we support at present

the custom role will need its own prompt(s), this would be loud to put inside the main roles KDL so it should go into a "roles,advisor.kdl" and like kind of like...

role {
advisor {
startup-promt "you are an advisor to her majesty coilysiren" (this is a joke, do not encode this) (for large blocks of text, like the startup prompt will be, a txt file is probably better than having it inline) (if all the large blocks of configuration are inline.... then we can just keep the spec inside of the single roles.kdl file. idk)
}
}

use whatever the existing variable names are, the above example is a hip fire

as a part of this, you will want to do a significant pre work step inside of work to make the upstream default ward roles programmatically configured. that will not be a small batch of work, presently hardcoded role refs live all over the place. the end state should be that the only references to director / engineer / qa are in comments or tests or configs.

WARDED_WORKFLOW: reservation-held

reservation details

Holder: launch intent for container engineer-codex-agentic-os-465 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Accepted by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-15T01:03:11Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until this intent becomes visible or the intent is released. The stale-intent fallback is still TTL-bounded (3h TTL). --override-reservation 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).

Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.693.0).

WARDED_WORKFLOW: #543

details

workflow: pull-request-and-merge; review summary: review gate skipped by temporary ward default pending brokered QA
director merge authorization: reviewed-and-ready

The implementation felt like a compatibility restore instead of a clean split, because the current ward loader still requires the advisor role in the shared fleet file. Confidence is medium. The main surprise was that the separate advisor file never participated in the bundle merge path. Follow-up: a ward-side overlay merge seam is still needed before this can become a real personal-config split.
