Problem

After coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1596 landed docs for the promote run #2491 diagnosis, the promote workflow succeeded but the follow-up release workflow failed.

Observed from the read-only burndown surface on 2026-07-28:

run 12469 (#2497) failure  release.yml push release "docs: record promote run 2491 diagnosis"
run 12468 (#2496) success  promote.yml push main "docs: record promote run 2491 diagnosis"
run 12467 (#2495) failure  release.yml push release "Merge remote-tracking branch origin/main into issue-1478"
run 12465 (#2494) success  promote.yml push main "Merge remote-tracking branch origin/main into issue-1478"

This is adjacent to coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1597, which is already investigating release run #2495. Capture this later release failure separately so #2497 is not lost if it has a different first actionable failure.

Desired outcome

Diagnose run #2497 and determine whether it has the same root cause as #2495/#1597, the earlier #2493 release failure, or a new release-path condition.

Acceptance

  • Record the exact first actionable failure from run #2497.
  • Cross-check whether it shares a root cause with #2495/#1597 and #2493.
  • If it is already covered by an existing landed fix or active issue, comment with the proof and close as duplicate/covered.
  • If local repository evidence proves a code/config fix is needed, implement it and land through the normal Ward workflow.
  • If the failure is live-runner or external-state only, leave a clear operator checkpoint with the exact run URL, local proof state, and requested verification.
  • Do not repeatedly push to probe live CI.

Context

This was surfaced during the autonomous Ward burndown while prioritizing UX-safe work. Keep recovery conservative and coordinate with coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1597 rather than duplicating risky release changes.

WARD-WORKFLOW: done

details

workflow: merge-remote-main; review summary: skipped because the in-container review gate was intentionally skipped by the temporary Ward default pending brokered QA.

Implemented: recorded release run #2497 as the same missing-checkout root cause as #2495/#2493, linked the checkpoint from docs, and fixed the successor RELEASE_TAG env mismatch exposed after the #1597 checkout fix.

Validation: ward exec test passed; pre-commit hooks passed; pushed 1e662f38 to main; promote #2502 and release #2503 both succeeded.

Felt: straightforward once the Forgejo log endpoint was found; the only surprise was that #2501 proved the existing fix and exposed a later env wiring bug.

Confidence: high.

Follow-ups: none for #2497; older release-run evidence issue #1581 can now use the same log route pattern if still needed.

WARD-WORKFLOW: reservation-released

release details

Run finished with WARD-WORKFLOW: done ✅.

ward container reap released container engineer-codex-ward-1604 (--harness codex): the terminal outcome supersedes the reservation, so a later redispatch no longer needs --override-reservation.
