Owner

The problem

For example, the interactive step where a user marks which repos are trusted.

This requires something that was previously optional: the ability to point at a local config file. The brew install or setup path probably should auto-generate a minimal config file with placeholder sentinels and place it under ~/.ward.

The goal is to make onboarding one-shot without ever having to read a line of KDL or write one manually.

Proposed change

Split the setup blockers into narrow issues rather than trying to one-shot every config.

Split children

ward#1338 generates a minimal local ~/.ward config.
ward#1339 fails loudly when required setup config sentinels remain.
ward#1340 supports local ward config file refs for setup-generated config.
ward#1341 adds trusted owner/repo onboarding as its own setup step.

Alternatives considered

No response

Before filing

I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.
This stays within ward's scope (the dev-verb gate / agent driver), not a personal-infra or downstream-repo verb.

Decision for release inclusion

Removed from warded control plane coherence as a broad parent. Kai confirmed this needs fine-grained work because trying to cover every setup-blocking config in one issue will likely get the flow wrong. The release should carry narrow child deliverables instead.

Closing as absorbed by #1624. Ward v1 will document exact supported configuration and first-run behavior rather than build a broad interactive configuration generator.
