Why

Kai (2026-07-01 triage): "we need to just remove the ci watching stuff - it's very anomalous when held next to everything else." Removal also dissolves half of #462 (AGENTS.md instructs verifying CI with retiring coily ops while ward ci watch exists).

Deliverable

Remove the ward ci watch surface from the binary, docs/ci-watch.md, and FEATURES.md rows.
Rewrite the AGENTS.md release-verification instruction for the post-removal reality (#462 - same pass or explicitly sequenced).

Done condition

No ci-watch surface in binary or docs; AGENTS.md release section gives a working verification instruction that references neither coily nor ci watch.

Recorded by Claude Code (Fable) during the 2026-07-01 ward launch triage session with Kai.

WARD-OUTCOME: done - removed the ward ci watch verb + the ci-watch complex action, deleted docs/ci-watch.md and its links, and rewrote the AGENTS.md release-verify step; landed on main as 37bc074.

Mostly a clean subtraction. The native ward ci verb and its test were self-contained, so main.go and the subsystem-pointer table were the only wiring to unpick.

The one real judgement call: the deliverable bullets named only the native verb, but the title ("...and the ci-watching surface") and the done-condition ("no ci-watch surface in binary or docs") also cover the generated ward ops forgejo action ci-watch complex action - a second CI-watcher embedded through the forgejo guardfile. I removed that too (keeping the read-only tasks list leaf it polled), since leaving it would contradict the done-condition and Kai's "remove the ci watching stuff" wholesale. Flagging it here in case the intended scope was narrower.

Only friction: my first AGENTS.md rewrite tipped the file past the 4000-char doc-size cap (4302); trimmed it back to 3995. Reasonably confident in the result - build/vet/full go test and the whole pre-commit suite are green, and dead-cross-links stayed clean after deleting ci-watch.md.

Two rough edges worth a note: I hand-edited the generated guardfile doc (docs/ward-kdl/ward-kdl.forgejo.guardfile.md) rather than regenerating via make build-ward-kdl, which needs the ward-kdl tool + upstream spec fetch - a future full regen should reproduce the same bytes. And this only dissolves half of #462; any remaining coily references elsewhere are still open.
