Owner

Consumer side of ward#363, which landed the producer: on every keep-10 stale-container sweep, ward now drains each exited agent container's console log + claude transcript + a secret-free meta.json to ~/.ward/agent-logs/<container>/ on the docker host, before the docker rm. This is the always-on, host-native half (the SigNoz export is a separate, default-off slice tracked in coilyco-bridge/deploy).

Layout

~/.ward/agent-logs/<container>/
  console.log       # docker logs, stdout+stderr merged
  transcript.jsonl  # the claude session jsonl
  meta.json         # {container, repo, issue, driver, branch, outcome}

Asks

Point the existing Dozzle ansible role at ~/.ward/agent-logs/ (or, if Dozzle only tails live containers, document the grep/jq query path over this tree as the post-mortem surface).
Note that the stale roles/claude-hooks/templates/o2r-nudge.sh.j2 hook is unrelated cleanup worth doing while in there (called out in ward#363).

Filed by the ward#363 container run.

Consumer side of [ward#363](https://forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-flight-deck/ward/issues/363), which landed the producer: on every keep-10 stale-container sweep, `ward` now **drains** each exited agent container's console log + claude transcript + a secret-free `meta.json` to `~/.ward/agent-logs/<container>/` on the docker host, before the `docker rm`. This is the always-on, host-native half (the SigNoz export is a separate, default-off slice tracked in coilyco-bridge/deploy). ## Layout ``` ~/.ward/agent-logs/<container>/ console.log # docker logs, stdout+stderr merged transcript.jsonl # the claude session jsonl meta.json # {container, repo, issue, driver, branch, outcome} ``` ## Asks - Point the existing **Dozzle** ansible role at `~/.ward/agent-logs/` (or, if Dozzle only tails live containers, document the `grep`/`jq` query path over this tree as the post-mortem surface). - Note that the stale `roles/claude-hooks/templates/o2r-nudge.sh.j2` hook is unrelated cleanup worth doing while in there (called out in ward#363).

🔒 Reserved by ward agent --driver claude — container engineer-claude-infrastructure-413 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local is carrying this issue (reserved 2026-07-01T08:08:52Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until it finishes or the reservation goes stale (2h0m0s TTL); --force overrides.

WARD-OUTCOME: done - documented the grep/jq post-mortem path over ~/.ward/agent-logs/ (new docs/agent-logs-postmortem.md), wired from the logdy FEATURES bullet; left the live o2r-nudge hook alone.

Honestly this one was mostly reconnaissance. The viewer half of the ask had already landed as the logdy role (that closed the sibling #420), so the real work here was the other branch of the "or": the host-native grep/jq query path for when logdy isn't up, you're over SSH, or a run drained after logdy pinned its file list. I nailed the jq recipes against a real Claude transcript plus a synthetic meta.json tree so they're not hand-waved.

What fought back: the doc-size pre-commit cap (80 lines / 4000 chars) made me cut a lean first draft down hard, and pylint could not run in the sandbox until I provisioned Python 3.13 into a writable uv dir (the repo requires >=3.13, container only ships 3.12) - once it could, it was a clean 10/10. origin/main had also moved (pin bump to v0.65.0) so it was a merge, not a fast-forward, but FEATURES.md auto-merged with no conflict.

The one place I deliberately did NOT do what the issue said: the ward#363 note called the o2r-nudge.sh.j2 hook "stale" cleanup. In this repo it is anything but - it's rendered by the claude-hooks role, wired as a PreToolUse Bash hook, documented, and backs the still-installed o2r/otel-a2a-relay CLI on both the mac and linux groups. Deleting it would break a working guard, so the callout looks misdirected here (likely a stale copy in ward, not infra). Left it in place and surfaced it rather than acting blind. Confident in the docs; that one judgement call is the thing worth a second set of eyes.

Follow-up already tracked: #421 (logdy live file discovery).
