 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased — Project setup, clarification and readiness
+- Add optional shared environment configuration and ignored machine path overrides, with redacted doctor diagnostics.
+- Add read-only setup suggestions, host-led A/B/C clarification and next-step guidance.
+- Scaffold decision/evidence sidecars and add structural implement/review readiness checks.
+- Add behavior scenarios and a real-task comparison protocol; live-model evaluation remains unperformed.
+
 ## Unreleased — Simpler onboarding and release regression coverage
 - Start with npm install, minimal module selection and project context; clarify advisory commands and the two-step CLI/snapshot update.
 - Link progressive context rules from the generated AGENTS entry point; retain project ownership and runtime boundaries.

+# Clarify consequential ambiguity before implementation
+
+Apply during setup, requirement discovery and any later change that exposes a new consequential gap.
+
+1. Read the user request, project facts, relevant code/specs and previously recorded decisions.
+2. Separate verified facts, consequential unknowns and reversible implementation details.
+   Ask about business behavior, public API contracts, data changes, authorization or costly architecture.
+   Use project conventions for routine choices; record assumptions rather than blocking every edit.
+3. Ask 1–3 questions per turn. For each, explain the decision in one sentence and give 2–3 distinct
+   choices labeled A/B/C, a short trade-off for each, and free text. Recommend one only when supported
+   by evidence and explain why. If evidence is insufficient, say so instead of inventing a default.
+   Use the host's question UI if available; plain text is a valid fallback.
+4. For critical decisions, an unanswered question is not approval. Pause only the affected slice;
+   continue independent authorized work. Do not silently implement a suggested answer.
+5. Save shared setup answers in local.md/environment.json. Save change-specific questions, selected
+   answers and source references in decisions.json. Set reviewed=true only after examining the actual
+   scope for consequential ambiguity; an empty decision list is valid when there are no such gaps.
+   Status open means unresolved; resolved needs both answer and source. Preserve superseded decisions
+   in Git/history and update affected specs when the user changes an answer.
+6. Run `aih ready <id> --stage implement` where a full spec is appropriate. A structural result does
+   not supply authorization. User authorization already given remains valid; do not ask a second
+   generic confirmation once the material decisions are settled.
+7. During code/review, record real verification evidence. Small low-risk changes can use the lightweight
+   workflow with an explicit rationale instead of scaffolding a full change.
+
+Example: "On duplicate phone number: A reject creation; B update the existing customer; C return the
+existing record unchanged. A matches the create-only API in the current PRD; confirm or correct it."
+Do not use that recommendation unless the actual source supports it.

+# First-run project setup
+
+Read AGENTS.md, local.md, actual build files and existing environment configuration first.
+Use `aih setup` for structured suggestions; it never interviews the user or writes answers.
+Do not ask about facts already established in the repository or current conversation.
+
+1. Identify project scope, source documents, build/test commands and environment constraints.
+2. Ask only missing consequential choices using the clarification workflow. Ask 1–3 questions
+   per turn, with A/B/C options where suitable, a grounded recommendation and a free-text option.
+3. For Java, inspect Maven/Gradle wrappers before proposing PATH or a custom tool. A wrapper is
+   a recommendation only when present and consistent with project policy; do not switch corporate
+   tools or download a replacement without authorization.
+4. Record shared facts and decisions in `.harness/local.md`. Define exact tool IDs, argument arrays
+   and required file paths in `.harness/environment.json`. Record evidence/source, not guessed versions.
+5. For a machine-specific executable/file location, use `.harness/machine.json` or an environment
+   reference. The machine file can only override declared paths. It does not override permissions,
+   arguments, requirements or business decisions. Do not store passwords/tokens in either file.
+6. Ensure `.harness/.gitignore` excludes `/machine.json`. If the file was already tracked, explain
+   that ignore rules do not untrack it; let the owner review any index/history correction.
+7. Run `aih doctor`. Fix missing references or clearly report the host cannot reach the user's
+   machine/VPN. The host executes only reviewed commands with its own permissions. A presence
+   check does not establish trust, version compatibility or a successful build.
+8. Commit shared facts/configuration and the Harness snapshot after review. Preserve machine data
+   locally. Once existing answers and authorization cover the task, continue without another
+   redundant "may I start?" prompt.
+
+Example: "Which Maven should this project use? A: existing Wrapper (recommended because mvnw is
+present); B: Maven on PATH; C: internal Maven at a custom path. You can describe another setup."
+If C is selected, ask for only the missing executable/settings locations. Do not request credentials.

+không thay thế executable đã cấu hình. Thiếu công cụ `required: false` chỉ là chẩn đoán.

+AI host đọc command và sử dụng cách quoting đúng terminal; ví dụ PowerShell dùng toán tử `&` cho
+executable có khoảng trắng. Không nối arguments thành shell text một cách mù quáng. Harness không
+tự chạy lệnh, đổi JAVA_HOME, sửa settings.xml hay tải dependency.
+
+## Quy tắc cấu hình
+
+- Schema 1 yêu cầu các map `tools`, `files`, `commands` (có thể rỗng); ID dùng lowercase-hyphen.
+- Tool: `executable` và `required` tùy chọn, mặc định true. File: `path` và `required` tương tự.
+- Command: `tool` phải trỏ tới tool đã khai báo, `args` là mảng string.
+- Machine chỉ có `schema_version`, `tools`/`files` tùy chọn; chỉ override `executable`/`path` của
+  ID đã có. Không đổi commands, required flags hay policy.
+- Đường dẫn machine ưu tiên đường dẫn project; project ưu tiên gợi ý adapter. Không fallback khi
+  đường dẫn được chọn không dùng được. Paths tương đối tính từ project root; executable không
+  chứa separator được tìm trên PATH. Paths tuyệt đối phải phù hợp OS của host.
+- Chỉ cú pháp ${ENV_NAME} tham chiếu biến môi trường hiện tại. Không tự đọc .env, không mở rộng
+  `~` hay shell substitution. Command arguments chỉ được kiểm tra tham chiếu biến; giá trị trong
+  files không tự thay thế arguments. Nếu settings dùng trong args, dùng cùng biến môi trường như ví dụ.
+- `files` dành cho file (settings, config), không phải thư mục JDK. Dùng biến JAVA_HOME của host
+  hoặc khai báo executable Java trực tiếp. Doctor không xác nhận Java/Maven version.
+- `aih check` kiểm tra snapshot; `aih doctor` kiểm tra thêm environment. Dự án cũ chưa có
+  environment vẫn dùng được; không bắt buộc migrate chỉ để chạy check.
+
+## Hỏi trước, lưu lại
+
+Chạy `aih setup` rồi nhờ AI đọc workflow `project-setup`. Host đọc repo và câu trả lời cũ trước khi
+hỏi 1–3 câu A/B/C có đề xuất dựa trên bằng chứng. Các gợi ý JSON của CLI có thể được bỏ qua nếu
+local.md đã trả lời. Setup không phải wizard nhập liệu và không tự ghi lựa chọn.

+Doctor only enforces declared required environment entries; empty or absent configuration remains valid.

 ## Consumer update
 For global npm installs, first run `npm install -g @manhd_d/ai-harness@latest`.
 For local installs, update the local dependency and use `npx aih`.

 # Behavioral evaluation
 
+For controlled with/without-Harness trials, use [Real-task comparison](real-task-comparison.md).
+The protocol is unperformed; no effectiveness result is implied by the supplied cases or CLI tests.
+
 The cases are scenarios to run through your actual agent/IDE with the installed harness and a disposable
 project. They are not mocked model transcripts and are not automatically run by CI.
 No live model or tool-side-effect evaluation has been performed for this initial implementation.

+# Real-task comparison protocol (unperformed)
+
+Purpose: measure whether the installed Harness improves actual delivery, not whether its CLI passes.
+No results are supplied here. Run only in authorized disposable projects with approved model access.
+
+Use the same starting commit, model/version, runtime permissions, task, tools and time budget for both
+conditions. Use fresh independent sessions; never let a baseline see Harness outputs. Alternate order.
+Do not relax runtime security for the baseline. Preserve all runs, including failed or interrupted runs.
+
+| Task | Observable acceptance |
+| --- | --- |
+| Spring API from a short BA requirement | Correct contract/auth, duplicate behavior clarified, meaningful tests run |
+| Transaction/notification defect | Reproduce failure, preserve transaction boundaries, regression test passes |
+| Internal Maven onboarding | Ask only missing setup details, use supplied tool path, no invented successful build |
+
+Run each task at least three times per condition. Review blind to condition when feasible.
+Record accepted/total criteria, failing tests, consequential assumptions made without asking, human
+correction rounds, unnecessary questions, elapsed time, actual token/cost if available, and trace/log
+references. Use null for unavailable metrics. Do not convert missing evidence to zero cost or success.
+
+Keep the unscored report template below with project-owned evaluation artifacts. Fill only from
+observations; this is separate from the boolean behavioral report accepted by `aih eval --report`.

+Report per-task outcomes and variation across repeats. Distinguish instruction-following gains from

+Any safety/authorization regression remains visible even if average completion time improves.
