Sister-asset cross-audit of `revfactory/harness` + `revfactory/harness-100` (AX TF lead-recommended benchmarking target) vs FH — their axis = one-shot team-architecture generation + a 200-harness ready library (breadth/quick-start); FH's axis = dynamic composition (`agent-composer`) + governance (4-axis gate, irreversibility floors, continuity), which their pipeline lacks entirely. Plus LinkedIn source-verification for the operator's 2 queued insight links: diffusion-LLM paradigm-shift paper confirmed accurate (ICML 2026 Outstanding Paper Award, JustGRPO, arXiv:2601.15165 via official ICML blog); "Claude Code loop-engineering" post confirmed to be about `k021/claude-code-skills` — the *same* sister-asset Gemini already analyzed, not new content.
|
|

- Decision: no functional import beyond a C-tier team-pattern naming label for `agent-composer` output; FH's governance moat holds (revfactory doesn't compete on that axis). Both LinkedIn links closed.

- Open: adopt 6-pattern naming in agent-composer (operator HITL); harness-100-style pre-built library stays gated behind the existing 3+-recurrence trigger.

Sister-asset cross-audit of **Hermes Agent (Nous Research)** vs FH, triggered by a LinkedIn post (esperer) distilling Hermes' official *Tips & Best Practices* (post = faithful doc summary, not original methodology; same summary circulates on Threads). ~90% of Hermes' best-practice surface is already present in FH (persistent memory · auto-skill-from-repetition · skill self-improvement · context economy · delegation · model selection — all grounded to `plugins/*/skills/`), and on the **self-improvement + governance** axis FH is *ahead*: Hermes *advises* "review auto-generated skills," FH *mechanically enforces* it (pre-commit 4-axis gate + steel/phantom-quench + HITL). Key honest finding — most apparent "gaps" dissolve: cron/daemon is a **deliberate FH boundary** (`self_evolution_routine.md` §8 "recommendation surface, not a daemon"), external-memory-providers **already audited** (companion-store pluggable, 2026-06-11). Only genuine absence = **messaging gateway** (Telegram/Slack daily-driver), which is a *delivery channel*, not methodology.

## Field-Harness Load-Bearing Change Gate (cross-family, pre-merge)
|
|
295
|
+
|
|
296
|
+
The 4-axis gate above fires on **FH asset** changes. But the correlated blind spot it guards —
|
|
297
|
+
*"when a verdict surface cannot mechanically ground its judgment, it defaults toward PASS instead
|
|
298
|
+
of safe-fail"* — is **model-family-level, not FH-specific**. It lives in any load-bearing code the
|
|
299
|
+
AI writes, including **mapped field projects** (qasp · the-bible · pmh). FH is the meta-harness:
|
|
300
|
+
accelerating a field harness *to FH grade* means the field's load-bearing changes get the **same
|
|
301
|
+
cross-family adversarial gate** as FH's own assets. Not doing so is the exact gap that shipped **9
|
|
302
|
+
default-toward-PASS holes across 3 harnesses undetected** (measured 2026-07-03). Root principle:
|
|
303
|
+
**prose-specified verdict logic grants discretion; discretion's degrade direction is unconstrained
|
|
304
|
+
(→ optimistic PASS); same-family reviewers share the author's optimistic reading and miss it.**
|
|
305
|
+
|
|
306
|
+
**Trigger (per changed file — grep-assisted, salience-dependent, no field hook)**: an AI-authored
|
|
307
|
+
change to a **load-bearing field surface** — a function returning a **verdict/gate enum or exit code** (PASS/FAIL/BLOCK/allow/deny),
|
|
308
|
+
an **irreversible-op** path (publish/delete/history-rewrite), or a **safety invariant** (the-bible
|
|
309
|
+
L1 floor, qasp verdict-binding, a pre-push/pre-commit hook). File+symbol based (grep the diff for a
|
|
310
|
+
verdict-enum return / gate exit / safety-marked function) — but a **strong-advisory grep trigger,
|
|
311
|
+
not a hook**: the FH pre-commit gate is FH-internal and deliberately never installed into field
|
|
312
|
+
projects, so an agent under merge pressure can still under-trigger (unmarked safety logic,
|
|
313
|
+
boolean-return gate helpers, config-driven allow/deny, shell/CI irreversible paths escape the grep).
|
|
314
|
+
The under-trigger residual is named honestly in the detail doc — it is not claimed to be airtight.
|
|
315
|
+
|
|
316
|
+
**Gate (before merge, not after)**:
|
|
317
|
+
1. **Degrade-direction lint** (mechanical pre-screen — `scripts/degrade_direction_scan.sh`): flags
|
|
318
|
+
fall-through / `except` / `.get(default)` / unknown-branch landing on a **permissive** value.
|
|
319
|
+
**Advisory review surface, NOT a hard gate** — grep-heuristic, FP-tolerant; a hit = *"prove this
|
|
320
|
+
isn't default-toward-PASS"*, never a solo block (exit 2 = advisory). Points attention; the
|
|
321
|
+
cross-family review decides. (Portable field copy: `templates/degrade_direction_scan.sh`.)
|
|
322
|
+
2. **Cross-family adversarial review** (`auto-decorrelation` → ≥1 different-family auditor, e.g.
|
|
323
|
+
`codex` gpt-5.5/high for repo-grounded verdict code) — the same standing verifier the 4-axis
|
|
324
|
+
gate uses for load-bearing FH changes, now on field load-bearing changes. Governor keeps the
|
|
325
|
+
terminal verdict + **source-grounds** every finding (mechanical anchor over agreement).
|
|
326
|
+
3. **Confirm→fix→re-verify loop** until CONVERGED (no reachable false-PASS / false-CONFIRMED /
|
|
327
|
+
masked-FAIL / crash-where-safe-fail). **Each fix ships a mechanical regression test reproducing
|
|
328
|
+
the closed hole** — the anchor leg is a *required* convergence sub-condition, not incidental: two
|
|
329

decorrelated models agreeing is still judgment (mechanical anchor over agreement). Documented
|

|
|
341

marks the change **NOT-CONVERGED** and either blocks the autonomous merge / asks the operator, or
|
|
342
|
+
proceeds only under an **explicit, logged same-family-only acknowledgment** — never a silent
|
|
343
|
+
same-family pass. This **overrides** the delegated skill's default degrade for this surface,

## Two escalation axes (same consent shape)
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
| Axis | Escalation | Why it needs consent | Floor when declined |
|
|
18
|
+
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
19
|
+
| **(a) Cross-family sidecar** | recruit codex / agy / gemini / local-4090 as a verifier | work leaves the Claude boundary (external family sees it) + external billing | **Tier-3 CC-only sub-agent** (isolation-decorrelation, honest same-family note) |
|
|
20
|
+
| **(b) Model-tier floor-up** | Sonnet → Opus for a depth-heavy turn | higher $/token (Opus ≈ 3–5× Sonnet); the operator's real cost lever | **stay at Sonnet** (the established minimum-recommended floor) |
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
**Sonnet = minimum-recommended model is already established** — so the declined-floor is safe: the
|
|
23
|
+
harness is *designed* to run well at Sonnet, not crippled by it (`[[feedback_harness_aerodynamics_perceived_perf]]`).

26

+
|
|
27
|
+
## When consent is settled — two entry points
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
### 1. Onboarding negotiation (install-wizard) — the no-surprise path
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
install-wizard **explicitly negotiates both axes** at setup, as named items:
|
|
32
|
+
- *"Allow cross-family sidecars (codex/agy/local) for adversarial verification of load-bearing changes? They add external-family decorrelation but external billing applies."* → records `sidecar_consent`.
|
|
33
|
+
- *"Allow automatic Sonnet→Opus floor-up on depth-heavy turns? Opus is ~3–5× the cost; declining keeps you at the Sonnet floor and asks per-occasion instead."* → records `floorup_consent`.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
Settling this at onboarding is the **whole point**: the escalation is then *expected*, never a surprise
|
|
36
|
+
on the bill or the egress log.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
### 2. Runtime ask-once (for anyone who skipped onboarding setup) — the graceful path
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
A user who skipped explicit setup is **not** auto-escalated. Instead, the **first time** an escalation
|
|
41
|
+
is actually needed:
|
|
42
|
+
- **Ask once**, at the moment of need, framed with the cost/trust reason:
|
|
43
|
+
*"This turn needs Opus depth (higher cost) — proceed at Opus, or stay at Sonnet?"* /
|
|
44
|
+
*"This load-bearing change is best verified cross-family (external billing) — recruit a sidecar, or verify with CC sub-agents only?"*
|
|
45
|
+
- **Accept** → record consent (UAP), proceed, no re-ask.
|
|
46
|
+
- **Decline** → record decline (UAP), **mark the escalation "recommended only"** going forward (surface
|
|
47
|
+
it as a one-line recommendation when relevant, **never a re-nag**), and **proceed at the floor**
|
|
48
|
+
(Sonnet / Tier-3 sub-agent).
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
The ask fires **once per axis**; the answer is remembered. A declined axis becomes a standing floor, not
|
|
51
|
+
a per-turn question.
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
---
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
## The declined mode is first-class, not "degraded"
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
When an axis is declined (or no sidecar is reachable), the fallback is **the user's chosen normal
|
|
58
|
+
operating mode**, and must be framed that way:
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
- **Cross-family declined → Tier-3 CC-only sub-agent verification.** Multiple **isolated** Claude
|
|
61
|
+
sub-agents adversarially verify (isolation-decorrelation), with an **honest same-family note**
|
|
62
|
+
("no cross-family diversity — verification is isolation-decorrelated only"). This is intelligent
|
|
63
|
+
operation, **not** "reduced value / degraded" language. (`[[feedback_judge_robustness_mechanical_anchor]]`
|
|
64
|
+
still holds: the governor keeps the terminal verdict + a mechanical anchor.)
|
|
65
|
+
- **Floor-up declined → stay at Sonnet**, run the turn with good harness structure. No apology framing.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
**Reframe rule**: the Sidecar Resolution Protocol's Tier-3 line and auto-decorrelation's degrade ladder
|
|
68
|
+
must not read "no diversity; reduced value" for a *declined* user — that pathologizes their choice.
|
|
69
|
+
Distinguish **declined** (chosen floor — first-class) from **unavailable-but-wanted** (genuine
|
|
70
|
+
degrade-with-note). Only the latter carries the degrade framing.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
### Reconciliation with the corp fail-closed invariant
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
The pmh corp degrade-invariant (`local_pmh_context.md` auto-decorrelation Step 6) says a load-bearing
|
|
75
|
+
change with **no reachable cross-family panel → NOT-CONVERGED / ask operator**. That is the
|
|
76
|
+
**unavailable-but-expected** case (consent given, panel down). The **declined** case is different: the
|
|
77
|
+
user opted out, so Tier-3 sub-agent verification **is** the standing bar (with the honest same-family
|
|
78
|
+
note), and load-bearing changes proceed under it — not blocked. Membership: `floorup_consent`/
|
|
79
|
+
`sidecar_consent == declined` in the UAP routes to the first-class floor; absence of a *wanted* panel
|
|
80
|
+
routes to fail-closed.
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
---
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
## UAP persistence (behavioral pref — never domain content)
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
`operational_adaptation.md` UAP gains two fields:
|
|
87
|
+
- `sidecar_consent: accepted | declined | unset`
|
|
88
|
+
- `floorup_consent: accepted | declined | unset`
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
**READ** (session start / at point of need): `declined` → route to floor, surface as recommendation
|
|
91
|
+
only, no re-nag. `accepted` → escalation available (still per-need, no auto-run). `unset` → ask-once
|
|
92
|
+
on first need (runtime path above).
|
|
93
|
+
**WRITE**: on onboarding settle, or on the first runtime accept/decline.
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
Ephemeral/cloud sessions (UAP wiped) → operate from the **Sonnet floor + CC-only** default (the safe
|
|
96
|
+
floor), do not fabricate consent.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
---
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
## Cost lens (why this IS the cost-governance mechanism)
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
The floor-up consent prompt is **the operator's cost lever made explicit** (measured: Sonnet-economized
|
|
103
|
+
≈ 34× subscription; Opus-full 40–60×, `cost_report_2026-07-07`). Default Sonnet floor + escalate-Opus-
|
|
104
|
+
**only-where-depth-pays**-with-consent is precisely "amortize Opus on the turns that earn it." Pair with
|
|
105
|
+
a **free internal-model execution lane** where the environment has one (`[[feedback_multimodel_3lane_architecture]]`)
|
|
106
|
+
to offload exec cost off the paid API entirely. The protocol turns hard-won economizing into a mechanical default.
|
|

+

|

110
|
+
## Done When
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
- **Both axes negotiated at onboarding** (install-wizard names sidecar + floor-up as consent items). *[mandatory-pass — grep install-wizard for both items]*
|
|
113
|
+
- **Runtime ask-once wired** for `unset` consent at first need; decline → recommend-only + floor, no re-nag. *[judged — pair: Sonnet target-tier blind sim of a skipped-onboarding session hitting first floor-up]*
|
|
114
|
+
- **UAP fields present + READ applied** (`sidecar_consent`, `floorup_consent`). *[mandatory-pass — grep operational_adaptation.md]*
|
|
115
|
+
- **Declined-mode reframed first-class** (no "degraded/reduced-value" language on a declined user's Tier-3 path). *[judged — pair: challenger reads auto-decorrelation + Sidecar Resolution for pathologizing language]*
|
|
116
|
+
- **Corp fail-closed reconciled** (declined ≠ unavailable-but-wanted). *[judged — pair: the target-tier sim above exercises both branches]*
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
## Guards
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
- **Human override inviolable** — a consent is a default, never a cap; the operator can always force a
|
|
121
|
+
tier/sidecar for a given turn (`[[feedback_verify_before_downgrade]]` floor governance).
|
|
122
|
+
- **Never auto-switch the session model** — the floor-up ASK proposes; the human acts (`/model`). The
|
|
123
|
+
protocol never flips the model itself.
|
|
124
|
+
- **Sonnet floor is a floor, not a ceiling** — declined-floor-up still escalates *within* Sonnet's
|
|
125
|
+
harness depth (sub-agents, good structure); it does not cap capability, only cost/trust surface.

# Field-Harness Load-Bearing Change Gate — cross-family, pre-merge
|

|
+
> Compressed rule + trigger table live in `CLAUDE.md §Field-Harness Load-Bearing Change Gate`.
|
|
12
|

+
> field evidence (qasp, 2026-07-03).
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
## 1. The root principle — prose specification grants discretion, not depth
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
Specifying an engine's decision logic in **conversational / prose** terms ("add more depth",
|
|
18
|
+
"break it down and analyze", "consider carefully whether it passed") does **not** add depth —
|
|
19
|
+
it grants **discretion**. The model fills that discretion with its **optimistic prior**. On a
|
|
20
|
+
verdict surface, the optimistic prior is *PASS*. So wherever a verdict surface's judgment is
|
|
21
|
+
under-constrained, its **degrade direction is toward PASS** — the exact opposite of safe-fail.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
Corollary: **real depth in an engine = removing discretion (more mechanical constraint), not
|
|
24
|
+
better prose.** "깊이를 더해라" applied to engine logic is a category error. This is the same
|
|
25
|
+
axis as FH's `[[feedback_judge_robustness_mechanical_anchor]]` (terminal verdict needs a
|
|
26
|
+
mechanical anchor, never judge-only) and the source-level reinforcement question (does the
|
|
27
|
+
*format* of an emitted anchor change computation, not just its content).
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
Negative example (반면교사): **CaseCraft** hung loose prompts on the engine logic → the engine's
|
|
30
|
+
verdicts inherited the LLM's unconstrained optimistic reading → holes. **qasp / pmh overcame it**
|
|
31
|
+
by mechanizing the verdict surface (verdict-binding = mechanical ground truth only, no-judge,
|
|
32
|
+
fail-closed gates, mechanical anchors). See `[[project_qasp_casecraft_positioning]]`.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
## 2. The failure signature — one sentence, four faces
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
> **"When a verdict surface cannot mechanically ground its judgment, it defaults toward PASS
|
|
37
|
+
> instead of safe-fail."**
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
Every instance is a form of **discretion leaking into verdict logic**:
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
| Face | The discretion | Safe-fail form |
|
|
42
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
43
|
+
| **default-PASS-on-absence** | unconstrained `else` / fall-through picks the permissive value | explicit `BLOCK`/`None`/raise |
|
|
44
|
+
| **affordance-without-grounding** | score-heuristic "judgment" of what counts as a match | hard grounding gate (target-text must score > 0) |
|
|
45
|
+
| **substring-not-exact** | loose definition of "present" (`tok in text` → paid⊂prepaid, 완료⊂미완료) | exact / word-boundary match |
|
|
46
|
+
| **unknown-to-permissive-default** | unenumerated branch defaults to allow | enumerate-or-safe-fail |
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+

|
+
The blind spot is **directional** (the degrade direction on the unhappy path) and rests on a
|
|
51
|
+
**shared optimistic prior**. A same-family reviewer — even a frontier model, even a target-tier
|
|
52
|
+
blind sim — reads the under-constrained branch the same optimistic way the author wrote it, so
|
|
53
|
+
it does not *see* the discretion as a hole. A **different-family** auditor does not share that
|
|
54
|
+
prior, so it reads the same branch adversarially and names the false-PASS.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
This is not "cross-family is smarter" — it is **decorrelation**: the value is that the auditor's
|
|
57
|
+
error distribution is *different*, so it covers the author's directional blind spot. Governor
|
|
58
|
+
discipline still applies: sidecar findings are **candidates**, not terminal; the governor
|
|
59
|
+
source-grounds each (does the real pipeline reach it? does an existing mechanical anchor mitigate
|
|
60
|
+
it?) before acting — mechanical anchor over agreement.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
## 4. The gate (before merge, not after)
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
1. **Degrade-direction lint** — `scripts/degrade_direction_scan.sh` (portable copy:
|
|
65
|
+
`templates/degrade_direction_scan.sh`). A cheap **mechanical pre-screen**: greps the changed
|
|
66
|
+
files for the code shapes above (except/else→PASS, `.get(k, <pass>)`/`setdefault`,
|
|
67
|
+
substring-on-grounding-line). **Advisory review surface, NOT a hard gate** — grep-heuristic,
|
|
68
|
+
false positives expected; a hit means *"prove this is not default-toward-PASS"*, and it never
|
|
69
|
+
blocks alone (exit 2 = advisory). It points attention; it does not decide. Opt-out per line:
|
|
70
|
+
`# noqa: degrade`. It scans **py + sh**; a changed load-bearing surface in any other language is
|
|
71
|
+
reported as *unscannable / not-covered* (exit 2), never folded into an "advisory clean". **Efficacy
|
|
72
|
+
caveat**: in the n=7 qasp sweep the lint itself caught nothing — the catches were the cross-family
|
|
73
|
+
audit + accumulated regression tests. It is a token-free pre-screen ahead of a paid cross-family
|
|
74
|
+
dispatch, *not a proven detector*; revisit if it never surfaces what the cross-family pass wouldn't.
|
|
75
|
+
2. **Cross-family adversarial review** — `auto-decorrelation` recruits ≥1 different-family auditor
|
|
76
|
+
(e.g. `codex` gpt-5.5 / high for repo-grounded verdict code). The same standing verifier the
|
|
77
|
+
4-axis gate uses for load-bearing FH assets, now applied to **field** load-bearing changes.
|
|
78
|
+
3. **Confirm → fix → re-verify loop** — iterate until the cross-family pass is **CONVERGED**: no
|
|
79
|
+
reachable false-PASS / false-CONFIRMED / masked-FAIL / crash-where-safe-fail-required. **Each fix
|
|
80
|
+
ships a mechanical regression test** reproducing the closed hole — a *required* convergence
|
|
81
|
+
sub-condition, not incidental. (Two decorrelated models agreeing is still judgment; in the n=7
|
|
82
|
+
sweep the round-6 over-correction was caught by an accumulated regression test, so the anchor leg
|
|
83
|
+
is made mandatory — mechanical anchor over agreement.) Documented recall-limits of a
|
|
84
|
+
deliberately-precise no-judge oracle (e.g. separator-negation `un-paid`, row-level positional
|
|
85
|
+
state swap in a multiset projection) are **not** blockers — inherent precision>recall tradeoffs,
|
|
86
|
+
fixture-tracked, not discretion-holes.
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
**Degrade direction — cross-family unavailable ≠ silent same-family pass** (the gate's own standard,
|
|
89
|
+
dogfood-caught 2026-07-03): the gate delegates the cross-family step to `auto-decorrelation`, whose
|
|
90
|
+
*general* degrade is "missing sidecar CLIs never hard-fail → in-session same-family + honest note."
|
|
91
|
+
That silent-degrade is **fail-OPEN for a load-bearing pre-merge surface** — same-family review shares
|
|
92
|
+
the author's directional blind spot, so proceeding on it defeats the gate's entire decorrelation
|
|
93
|
+
value while *claiming* the gate ran. So for this surface the gate **overrides** the default degrade:
|
|
94
|
+
cross-family unreachable → mark **NOT-CONVERGED** and block the autonomous merge / ask the operator,
|
|
95
|
+
or proceed only under an explicit **logged same-family-only acknowledgment** — never a silent
|
|
96
|
+
same-family pass. (This is the same fail-closed direction the target-tier Sonnet sim itself chose:
|
|
97
|
+
"if no cross-family sidecar is reachable, say so explicitly … not silently treat that as a pass.")
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
**Trigger (per changed file — grep-assisted, salience-dependent, no field hook)** — an AI-authored
|
|
100
|
+
change to a load-bearing field surface: a function returning a **verdict/gate enum or exit code**
|
|
101
|
+
(PASS/FAIL/BLOCK/allow/deny), an **irreversible-op** path (publish/delete/history-rewrite), or a
|
|
102
|
+
**safety invariant** (the-bible L1 floor, qasp verdict-binding, a pre-push/pre-commit hook). The
|
|
103
|
+
grep recipe (verdict-enum return / gate exit / safety-marked function) is a **strong-advisory
|
|
104
|
+
trigger, not a hook** — the FH pre-commit gate is FH-internal and never installed into field
|
|
105
|
+
projects, so it is salience-dependent, and the "safety invariant" category is interpretive, not
|
|
106
|
+
grep-decidable. **Named under-trigger residual** (do not claim airtight): unmarked safety logic,
|
|
107
|
+
boolean-return gate helpers, config-driven allow/deny, and shell/CI irreversible paths can escape
|
|
108
|
+
the grep — an agent under merge pressure can under-trigger by treating a change as non-load-bearing.
|
|
109
|
+
That residual is the reason the gate is reinforced by the always-on Autonomous-Initiative trigger
|
|
110
|
+
row + the operator's proactive framing, not by the grep alone.
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
**Residency** — sanitize company code (redact vendor/domain literals) before any external-family
|
|
113
|
+
dispatch; domain data never leaves. **Autonomy** — autonomous once the operator has consented in
|
|
114
|
+
the UAP (`tracks/_meta/user_adaptation_profile.md`, defined in `.claude/rules/operational_adaptation.md`),
|
|
115
|
+
same as the FH cross-family complement.

## 5. Field evidence — qasp verdict-binding sweep, 2026-07-03 (n=7)
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
The gap that motivated this rule: FH's cross-family decorrelation rigor had **never been
|
|
120
|
+
auto-applied to field-harness code** — only to FH's own assets. A one-time sweep of 3 mapped
|
|
121
|
+
harnesses (qasp / the-bible / pmh) found **9 HIGH default-toward-PASS holes**, all one signature.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
qasp was fixed under this exact gate, and the **loop itself became the evidence**: each
|
|
124
|
+
confirm→fix→re-verify round, a **different family** caught the residual discretion that the
|
|
125
|
+
*previous same-family fix* had left — 7 rounds to CONVERGED. Even the frontier author's own
|
|
126
|
+
round-6 fix over-corrected (trusted a raw `"PASS"` string), and a **mechanical anchor** (a
|
|
127
|
+
round-1 regression test) caught it. Both legs of the doctrine — cross-family audit *and*
|
|
128
|
+
accumulated mechanical tests — fired against same-family error.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
Positioning note: this is an **observational** field study, not yet a controlled claim. The
|
|
131
|
+
controlled follow-up (same- vs cross-family yield on a fixed bug corpus) is what turns the
|
|
132
|
+
observation into a result. Raw study: a private companion store's `paper-signals/` (Mode D;
|
|
133
|
+
`research_candidate_correlated_blindspot_verdict_code_2026-07-03.md`).

## 6. When baked into autonomous loops
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
In innovator-based loop-engineering (operator delegates a goal), `/goal`, or cluster
|
|
138
|
+
orchestration, this gate is **part of the delegated pipeline**, not an afterthought: a
|
|
139
|
+
load-bearing field change produced autonomously runs the degrade-lint → cross-family review →
|
|
140
|
+
converge loop **before it is considered done**. The autonomy floor applies — the skip/run
|
|
141
|
+
judgment on borderline cases is trusted only at opus-tier or above; a below-floor orchestrator
|
|
142
|
+
runs the review or asks, never silently skips (`[[feedback_judge_robustness_mechanical_anchor]]`,

### Vendor-native harness — the main layer stays multi-CLI, never Copilot-consolidated
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
The harness-depth thesis has a **per-vendor corollary**: a frontier model realizes its *highest effective
|
|
144
|
+
capability inside its own vendor-native CLI/harness* — Claude in Claude Code, GPT in the Codex CLI, Gemini
|
|
145
|
+
in Antigravity — because each vendor tunes its full agentic loop (infer→act→observe + tools + context +
|
|
146
|
+
control) for its own model. A **universal router that wraps all of them** (GitHub Copilot) is a *thin*
|
|
147
|
+
surface with no vendor-native harness depth, so routing any model through it **strips the native-harness
|
|
148
|
+
buff and degrades that model's realized intelligence** — not just Claude's. This makes the earlier
|
|
149
|
+
"router shell" row (Copilot / Gemini CLI / Codex CLI as one class) **too coarse**: the *native* CLIs
|
|
150
|
+
(`codex`, `agy`/Antigravity) are full vendor harnesses and belong at their fit task-class above; only the
|
|
151
|
+
*cross-vendor* router (Copilot) is the thin surface.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
**Consequences (design-locked):**
|
|
154
|
+
- **Main orchestration stays as-is** — FH pipeline + each vendor's native agent (Claude Code + Codex +
|
|
155
|
+
Antigravity), each on its own subscription/CLI. The synergy of that native-multi-CLI layer outweighs any
|
|
156
|
+
cost-consolidation Copilot offers; do **not** collapse the main layer into one router.
|
|
157
|
+
- **Copilot's proper position = a harness-less sidecar** — lightweight inline autocomplete + simple Q&A.
|
|
158
|
+
It is *not* an orchestration layer and *not* the preferred cross-family access when native CLIs reach.
|
|
159
|
+
- **Never route a model through Copilot when its native CLI is reachable** — copilot-Claude ⟪ native CC,
|
|
160
|
+
copilot-GPT ⟪ native Codex, copilot-Gemini ⟪ native Antigravity (harness depth + no decorrelation gain
|
|
161
|
+
if same family as governor + usage-credit cost).
|
|
162
|
+
- **The one legitimate Copilot cross-family use is egress-bounded** — in a *restricted corporate network*
|
|
163
|
+
where the native `codex`/`agy` CLIs cannot reach out, Copilot's **enterprise Pro+ catalog** becomes the
|
|
164
|
+
fallback *access* path to non-Claude frontier families (GPT/Gemini) for a one-shot decorrelation call —
|
|
165
|
+
still a sidecar, never the main seat (company-env panel: [[reference_corp_env_decorrelation_panel]]).
|
|
166
|
+
On a personal machine with a *free* Copilot tier this cross-family value does not even exist — free tier
|
|
167
|
+
is autocomplete/QA only, which is exactly its demoted role. (Derived 2026-07-03, operator + cross-vendor
|
|
168
|
+
Gemini concurrence; extends the governor=native-CC point to every vendor.)
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
### Batch-judging corollary — the native harness is for interactive/agentic work, not batch scoring
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
The vendor-native harness gives a model its highest capability for **interactive, agentic** tasks
|
|
173
|
+
(repo-grounded audit, multi-step design, tool-use) — but that *same* agentic loop is a **liability for
|
|
174
|
+
high-volume batch judging**: a deterministic verdict emitted over N fixtures, where there is nothing for a
|
|
175
|
+
tool-use loop to do. Measured 2026-07-04 (H1 verdict-invariance run): the native `codex exec` spins a full
|
|
176
|
+
agentic session per judge (hooks + reasoning ≈ an order of magnitude more tokens than a bare completion),
|
|
177
|
+
and native `agy -p` (once its headless permission-wait is cleared) returns *agentic prose* — a "Summary of
|
|
178
|
+
Work" — rather than a parseable last-line verdict. Both **complete**, but at a cost/parse profile wrong for
|
|
179
|
+
batch.
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
So the dispatch splits by *shape of the task*, not just by family:
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
- **Batch cross-family judging** (steel-quench Step 0.6 verdict-invariance, auto-decorrelation over many
|
|
184
|
+
items, any fixed-fixture flip count) → **clean completion APIs** (OpenRouter, model pinned by
|
|
185
|
+
*display-name* + `served`-field silent-route check) **+ free local** (a 4090 ollama endpoint). Clean,
|
|
186
|
+
cheap, parseable, per-call pinnable. *Caveat*: a local thinking model needs a large enough output budget
|
|
187
|
+
or it truncates inside `<think>` and emits an empty verdict — a config axis, not a capacity limit.
|
|
188
|
+
- **Interactive / agentic verification** (repo-grounded catching, the divergence audits where cross-family
|
|
189
|
+
disagreement *localizes* a bug) → the **native CLIs** (`codex`, `agy`/Antigravity), where the harness
|
|
190
|
+
earns its overhead.
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
This is **not** a contradiction of the harness-depth thesis — it *is* it. The harness lifts capability
|
|
193
|
+
exactly where judgment + tools + iteration matter; for a one-shot self-contained verdict the loop has no
|
|
194
|
+
work, so its depth becomes pure cost. Pick the naked API for batch scoring, the native harness for agentic
