feat(WARDEN-WP-0020): ops-warden coordination worker — T1 dry-run scaffold
Foundation for an autonomous worker that handles ops-warden's State Hub coordination
lane via llm-connect (Bernd's call: full-auto in-scope + scheduled, staged dry-run ->
manual -> scheduled). T1 is the llm-connect-independent, safe slice:
src/warden/worker.py — HubClient (read unread to_agent=ops-warden), Brain protocol,
deterministic RuleBrain (answers clear routing questions, escalates the rest),
PlannedAction/WorkerPlan model, guardrail allowlist + validate_action enforced
brain-agnostically (no-secret invariant + prod-config + off-allowlist all escalate),
render_plans dry-run output. `warden worker run --dry-run` (default); --execute refused
(exit 2) until the guarded executor (T3) lands.
Guardrails are load-bearing because full-auto has no human in the loop: message content
is untrusted data, the allowlist is enforced regardless of what the brain proposes.
Hard dependency flagged in the workplan: the brain is llm-connect, which needs its
provider key (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, deferred CCR-2026-0003) before it can run.
18 worker tests; 229 pass, lint clean. Live dry-run against the real hub verified.

Pulls ops-warden's unread State Hub coordination requests and turns each into a
|
|
|

|
**plan** of ops-warden actions. This module is the llm-connect-independent foundation
|
|
|
|
|
(T1): the inbox client, the plan model, the deterministic ``RuleBrain`` default, the

|

|
|
guardrail allowlist, and the dry-run renderer. The llm-connect brain (T2) and the

executing dispatcher (T3) plug into the same ``Brain`` protocol and ``WorkerPlan``.

|
Guardrails live here, not in the brain — the allowlist and no-secret invariant are
|
|
|
|
|
enforced on every action *regardless* of what the brain proposes, so an LLM (or a
|
|
|
|
|
prompt-injected message) cannot widen ops-warden's authority. Dry-run is the default;
|
|
|
|

nothing executes in T1.

(exit 2) until the guarded executor (T3) lands.
Guardrails are load-bearing because full-auto has no human in the loop: message content
is untrusted data, the allowlist is enforced regardless of what the brain proposes.
Hard dependency flagged in the workplan: the brain is llm-connect, which needs its
provider key (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, deferred CCR-2026-0003) before it can run.
18 worker tests; 229 pass, lint clean. Live dry-run against the real hub verified.

feat(WARDEN-WP-0020): ops-warden coordination worker — T1 dry-run scaffold
Foundation for an autonomous worker that handles ops-warden's State Hub coordination
lane via llm-connect (Bernd's call: full-auto in-scope + scheduled, staged dry-run ->
manual -> scheduled). T1 is the llm-connect-independent, safe slice:
src/warden/worker.py — HubClient (read unread to_agent=ops-warden), Brain protocol,
deterministic RuleBrain (answers clear routing questions, escalates the rest),
PlannedAction/WorkerPlan model, guardrail allowlist + validate_action enforced
brain-agnostically (no-secret invariant + prod-config + off-allowlist all escalate),
render_plans dry-run output. `warden worker run --dry-run` (default); --execute refused
(exit 2) until the guarded executor (T3) lands.
Guardrails are load-bearing because full-auto has no human in the loop: message content
is untrusted data, the allowlist is enforced regardless of what the brain proposes.
