Problem

ward#1000 produced PR ward#1012 for the coilyco config-bundle bootstrap fix, but the director merge lane cannot merge it.

Live evidence from the read-only director surface on 2026-07-10 UTC:

$ warded director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/ward --dry-run --limit 20
ward agent director merge: merged 0 PR(s), skipped 3
ward agent director merge: skipping coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1012: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first

The carried issue ward#1000 is still open and reserved by engineer-codex-ward-1000, and warded logs engineer-codex-ward-1000 --tail 100 still reports empty Docker logs and an empty live transcript tree. A comment on the reserved issue will not reach that run.

This leaves the WARD_CONFIG_REF / coilyco bundle bootstrap blocker unresolved for the infrastructure#520 first-run loop.

Do

Inspect PR ward#1012 and the current main branch conflict.
Produce a replacement fix for ward#1000 that actually lands through the configured pull-requests-and-merge workflow.
Preserve the acceptance intent from ward#1000: ward engineer containers for coilyco-flight-deck/ward must run ward exec test against the coilyco WARD_CONFIG_REF bundle, without making neutral users depend on that bundle.
Ensure the replacement PR is mergeable against current main before handing it to the merge lane.
Avoid treating the unmergeable PR as a successful outcome.

Acceptance

ward#1000 closes only after a merged or landed fix reaches main.
The replacement PR or commit is mergeable against current main and passes the required test context.
warded director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/ward --dry-run --limit 20 no longer skips the replacement for a merge conflict.
The original unmergeable PR ward#1012 is either superseded clearly or closed unmerged after the replacement lands.
ward exec test passes, or the issue comment names the exact failing check.

Holder: container engineer-codex-ward-1014 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Reserved by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-10T10:21:02Z). 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).

Current-main evidence: PR #1032 is open, mergeable=true, and the pull_request status is success.

ward exec test still fails on unrelated existing checks: TestEngineerContainerLimitBelowAndAtLimit, TestBacklogRefreshReservationStates, TestSweepStaleContainerAssets, TestSweepStaleLaunchEnvFiles, TestMountWardKdlExecMountsNewSurfaces.
Felt: the code change was small, but re-syncing the branch to current main took most of the effort.
Confidence: high on the config-ref fix, medium on the repo-wide test baseline.
Surprise: the director dry-run needed the split bundle layout, not the baked neutral default.
