Problem

Post-merge promote run 8397 failed after PR #1362 merged for issue #1360. ward agent pr runs coilyco-flight-deck/ward reports:

run 8397 (#2165) failure  promote.yml push main "Finish dispatch-path partial-launch guarantees after #1359 (#1362)"

Attempting ward agent pr rerun coilyco-flight-deck/ward 8397 from the director surface failed because this Forgejo exposes no Actions rerun API. Ward reports the available recovery is to retrigger by pushing to the run branch / ref, such as an empty commit, or otherwise repair the failing promote path.

Acceptance

  • Inspect the failed promote run for PR #1362 / issue #1360.
  • If the failure is transient, retrigger the appropriate promote path using the supported push-based mechanism.
  • If the failure is real, repair it with a focused change.
  • Leave evidence on this issue with the final green promote/release state or the exact remaining blocker.

WARDED_WORKFLOW: reservation-held

reservation details

Holder: launch intent for container engineer-codex-ward-1364 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Accepted by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-15T09:18:47Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until this intent becomes visible or the intent is released. The stale-intent fallback is still TTL-bounded (3h TTL). --override-reservation 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).

Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.710.0).

QA/ops follow-up:

  • Initial promote failure after #1362 was run 8397 / #2165, a runner setup timeout fetching actions/checkout.
  • Manual promote dispatch run 8406 / #2166 reached repository tests and failed once in TestRunHostDispatchBrokerRequestClearsBrokerEnvWhileLaunchRuns during tempdir cleanup.
  • A later main push from merged PR #1366 reran the full post-merge path successfully: promote run 8411 / #2170 succeeded, and release run 8412 / #2171 succeeded.
  • PR #1367 was closed unmerged with zero file changes, so no stale no-op merge is needed.

Closing this incident as resolved by the later green promote/release evidence. Remaining PR-CI checkout timeout on #1365 is tracked separately as #1368.

WARDED_WORKFLOW: #1367

details

workflow: pull-request-and-merge; review summary: review gate skipped because the temporary ward default pending brokered QA

Retrospective: the fix was a small broker completion-order race, but the workflow path was noisy because Forgejo auto-closed the PR once and needed a ward acknowledgement to reopen it.
Confidence: high.
Surprise: the release run was clean once promote landed.
Follow-up: none.

QA correction after final #1367 state:

PR #1367 did ultimately merge after the earlier stale/no-op assessment. Final hosted evidence is green:

run 8419 / #2176 success test.yml pull_request #1367
run 8420 / #2177 success promote.yml push main "Repair failed promote run after PR #1362 (#1367)"
run 8421 / #2178 success release.yml push release "Repair failed promote run after PR #1362 (#1367)"

That satisfies this incident's acceptance for a supported push-based retrigger and final green promote/release evidence. No replacement issue needed for #1364.
