The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
| Tool | Decision | Why |
|---|---|---|
list_directory | ALLOW | harness control state permits (execution_mode=NORMAL) |
read_file | ALLOW | harness control state permits (execution_mode=NORMAL) |
