Problem

PR #886 (Goose engineer can answer in logs and exit clean without carrying the issue) is open from a previous run and is not mergeable against current main:

#886

Director merge dry-run reports:

#886 skipped: PR is not mergeable against the current base branch; rebase or merge base and resolve the conflict first

The PR body says it closes #697 and tightens the Goose engineer launch/seed path so clean no-outcome exits become failed issue comments. A scratch inspection shows the branch touches agent launch/dispatch/reservation/reaper files, fleet generated KDL, forge/tracker files, and docs. This is a PR-branch repair task, not a fresh implementation.

Do

Start from PR #886's existing branch.
Merge or rebase current main into the PR branch.
Resolve conflicts while preserving the intended Goose/no-outcome failure behavior.
Be careful around newer main changes in dispatch broker, reservation, reaper, tracker split, role overlays, and fleet config.
Run ward exec test or the narrowest credible ward test set plus touched package tests.
Push the repaired branch so PR #886 becomes mergeable again.
Add or refresh WARD-OUTCOME: merge-ready metadata only after validation passes and the PR is mergeable.

Acceptance

PR #886 is mergeable against current main, or the PR thread names a specific blocker that is not stale conflict state.
ward agent director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/ward --dry-run --limit 100 no longer reports #886 as a plain merge-conflict skip.
ward exec test passes, or the PR thread names the exact failing check.

Closes this issue when PR #886 is repaired or explicitly superseded.

WARD-RESERVATION: held 🔒

Holder: container engineer-codex-ward-917 on host kais-macbook-pro-2.local.

Reserved by ward agent --harness codex (reserved 2026-07-10T00:58:37Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until it finishes or the reservation goes stale (1h TTL). --force 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).

Repaired PR #886 by merging current main into issue-697 and pushed ef68e66.
ward exec test passed.
ward agent director merge --repo coilyco-flight-deck/ward --dry-run --limit 100 no longer reports #886 as a plain merge-conflict skip, but it still blocks on the base branch: current main does not declare required status check contexts.

Next step: fix or relax that base-branch gate, then rerun the director dry-run.

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). <details><summary>run seed context — what this run is carrying (ward#609)</summary> - **Resolved:** `coilyco-flight-deck/ward#917` · branch `issue-917` · harness `codex` · workflow `pull-request-and-merge` - **Run:** `engineer-codex-ward-917` · ward `v0.686.0` · dispatched `2026-07-14T15:25:59Z` - **Comment thread:** 3 included in the pre-flight read, 5 stripped (ward's own automated comments). - included: @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T01:08:11Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T05:28:12Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T23:28:06Z) - stripped: @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T00:58:40Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T05:10:59Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T23:20:21Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-10T23:43:43Z), @coilyco-ops (2026-07-14T09:04:39Z) Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.686.0). </details> </details>  — Codex, via `ward agent`
