Title: Fix config-bundle gitsync FETCH_HEAD permission errors in director surfaces

Repro from a read-only director surface on 2026-07-10:

ward: config-bundle gitsync: refresh https://forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os.git (TTL 10m0s elapsed)
error: cannot open 'FETCH_HEAD': Permission denied
ward: config-bundle gitsync: refresh failed https://forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os.git (using cached state)

Observed behavior:

The message repeats before unrelated ward agent list and ward agent logs calls.
ward falls back to cached state, so the immediate command may still continue, but the director surface is noisy and may run stale guard/config state.
This appears to be a cache ownership or writable-path problem in the config-bundle gitsync path.

Task:

Fix the config-bundle cache path/ownership so read-only director surfaces can refresh the coilyco agentic-os bundle without FETCH_HEAD permission errors.
If the surface deliberately cannot refresh, make ward use a read-only-safe strategy and print one concise actionable warning rather than repeating the same git error several times per command.
Add regression coverage for the failing permission or read-only cache case.
Preserve the existing cached-state fallback when refresh fails for a genuine transient network problem.

Keep wording public-safe and avoid host-specific private paths in tests.

WARD-RESERVATION: held 🔒

reservation details

Holder: container engineer-codex-ward-1086 on host KAI-DESKTOP-TOWER.

Reserved by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-10T21:58:59Z). 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).
