Design role.

Outcome

Publish a focused Ward case study that makes Kai's approach to trustworthy agent execution understandable to a technical hiring leader.

Context

Ward is the strongest standalone proof in this portfolio. Its public positioning is a governed execution layer for unattended coding agents in isolated repository workflows.

The useful tension is not whether agent work can be observed afterward. It is how an operator can delegate meaningful work without replaying every step. The page should show how bounded authority, fixed workflows, explicit risk transitions, isolation, and recoverable checkpoints change that trust problem.

What to build

Lead with the concrete delegation and trust problem Ward solves.
Reuse the existing Ward infographic when current repository evidence confirms it, or adapt it into a smaller architecture visual.
Explain the boundary between observing execution and constraining possible effects.
Show one representative workflow from request through bounded execution, checkpoint, and recoverable outcome.
Name the hardest design judgment and one current limitation or unresolved edge.
Prefer operational evidence and actual interfaces over abstract responsible-AI language.
Connect Ward to agent-compose and Ward MCP without making either required reading.

Blocked by

Blocked by the hiring-page refresh so the case study can replace its temporary repository link cleanly.

Shared acceptance boundary

The page uses current canonical repository evidence rather than remembered architecture.
The page names the problem, architecture, hard design judgment, evidence, and current limit.
The page links to the canonical Forgejo source and the hiring page links back to this case study.
Metadata and social preview are intentional, and the page is legible on desktop and mobile.
No private project, opaque identifier, invented metric, or unsupported outcome appears.
Repository validation passes and the change lands through the repository's normal workflow.

Non-goals

Do not duplicate the repository README.
Do not write a changelog or exhaustive feature inventory.
Do not claim that telemetry alone creates trust.
Do not redesign unrelated site surfaces.

Landed in ffc01ca433. /work/ward/ now explains the delegation problem, visible resolve-to-recover workflow, authority boundary, role-label judgment, shipped evidence, current platform limit, and its connection to agent-compose and Ward MCP.
