Flagship integration - build ward driving gptme headless in an ephemeral container.

gptme is the warmest target: active, cloud-agnostic, headless and CI native, Python, only a confirm-prompt for safety. Drive it with a local Qwen as the adversarial actor - a small Qwen quant wanders out of policy on its own, so it exercises ward's deny paths for free. That is an adversarial test bench, not a downgrade.

One working example flips the launch post from "look at my thing" to "here's my thing guarding your thing." Build one integration, not three - the other two follow room to room. The boundary is the product: the integration must show a denial, since bare gptme already proves "the agent can deploy."

Split out from the ward launch session capture: coilyco-flight-deck/ward#229. Launch theme: the boundary is the product - every demo and one-liner must show a denial, not just capability.

🛫 ward pre-flight: NO-GO

ward agent headless --driver claude ran a pre-flight feasibility read on this issue before detaching a fire-and-forget run, and the agent judged it NO-GO - it should not be carried unattended until a human weighs in.

flagship launch artifact depending on a local Qwen model + gptme + nested container that the ephemeral environment likely can't provide, with a stochastic "show a denial" success bar that needs human verification.

No container was launched. Review the issue (clarify the scope, resolve the unknown, or split it), then re-dispatch - ward agent headless --driver claude <ref> --no-preflight skips this gate once you've decided it's good to go.

full pre-flight read

This is a flagship, launch-facing integration with several heavyweight external dependencies that an ephemeral container is unlikely to satisfy unattended: a running local Qwen quant (model weights + inference runtime, likely GPU), gptme installed and wired headless, and a container runtime to nest in - none of which the issue confirms are available in the clone environment. The core success criterion is also adversarial and stochastic: getting a small Qwen to "wander out of policy" and reproducibly trip ward's deny path is flaky to produce and hard to self-verify without a human eyeballing the demo. On top of that the quality bar is subjective and tied to a public launch post, and there are no comments resolving the open design choices, so the wrong architectural pick is costly to undo.

Re-triage (goose-triage method, claude-macos-kais-macbook-pro-2 as the judgment engine, 2026-06-24)

P1 - Flagship gptme integration, the one example that flips the launch story, clear next thing.
interactive - Multi-part build with a local-Qwen adversary bench and design surface, agent works it and pauses at checkpoints.

Cut from the launch milestone per triage decision: gptme-in-container with a local Qwen adversary is real integration work, deferred past launch. Recorded by Claude Code (Fable) during the 2026-07-01 ward launch triage session with Kai.
