Problem

ward#1007 produced PR ward#1017 for issue-scoped director behavior, 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: skipping coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1017: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first

warded logs engineer-codex-ward-1007 --tail 120 still reports empty Docker logs and an empty live transcript tree, and ward#1007 remains reserved. A comment on the reserved issue will not reach that run.

This leaves the #520 exact issue-scoped director requirement unresolved.

Do

Inspect PR ward#1017, the current main branch, and the conflict that makes it unmergeable.
Produce a replacement fix for ward#1007 that actually lands through the configured pull-requests-and-merge workflow.
Preserve the required #520 behavior:

warded director coilysiren/inbox#123 \
  --harness goose \
  --engineer-harness goose \
  --max-parallel 1 \
  --no-triage \
  --poll-interval 5s

Ensure full Forgejo issue URLs follow the same exact-issue path.
Ensure closed, ineligible, unresolved, and already-reserved issue refs dispatch nothing and do not fetch or expose the repository backlog.
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#1007 or its replacement closes only after a merged or landed fix reaches main.
Tests prove exact issue refs and full issue URLs expose only the referenced issue to the director decision payload.
Tests prove failure cases do not fetch or dispatch the repository backlog.
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The original unmergeable PR ward#1017 is either superseded clearly or closed unmerged after the replacement lands.
ward exec test passes, or the issue comment names the exact failing check.

WARD-RESERVATION: held 🔒

reservation details

Holder: container engineer-codex-ward-1020 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Reserved by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-10T10:27:19Z). 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).
