The #1544 launch wrapper snapshot reported an image-pull failure followed by a successful local-image fallback. The engineer recovered, but the fallback adds latency and can make an operator mistake recovered infrastructure friction for a launch failure.

Investigate the distinct image-distribution cause using the redacted wrapper and runner evidence. Classify registry reachability, tag availability, credentials, and cache behavior, then make recovered fallback explicit without concealing genuine image-unavailability failures.

Follow-up from #1546.

Dispatch attempt from the #1546 engineer container could not reach the host Docker daemon (/var/run/docker.sock is unavailable), so this follow-up needs a director or host-surface dispatch. The issue is filed and ready for that dispatch.

Holder: launch intent for container engineer-codex-ward-1550 on host dc848d116cbd.

Accepted by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-24T21:36:10Z). 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).

Disposition checkpoint for parent #1574. All three 2026-07-24 reservations are stale, and the current broker reports no running engineer or launch intent for this issue. The issue remains valid but is now interactive because the next evidence must classify live registry reachability, tag availability, credentials, and cache behavior without mutating production. A director read-only surface must run ward agent stop coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1550 to clear the stale issue reservation. An operator should then return the redacted image-pull and fallback evidence before Engineering changes the launcher behavior.
