 When message tokens reach the `messageTokens` threshold, buffered chunks activate: their observations move into the active observation log, and the corresponding raw messages are removed from the context window. The agent never pauses.
 
+Buffered observations also include continuation hints — a suggested next response and the current task — so the main agent maintains conversational continuity after activation shrinks the context window.
+
 If the agent produces messages faster than the Observer can process them, a `blockAfter` safety threshold forces a synchronous observation as a last resort.
 
 Reflection works similarly — the Reflector runs in the background when observations reach a fraction of the reflection threshold.

+### Streaming tool input in UIs
+
+When a model generates a tool call, the arguments arrive incrementally as `tool-call-delta` stream chunks before the final `tool-call` chunk. UIs can listen for the corresponding `tool_input_start`, `tool_input_delta`, and `tool_input_end` events to render tool arguments as they stream in — for example, showing a file path or command immediately rather than waiting for the complete tool call.
+
+Using a partial JSON parser on the accumulated `argsTextDelta` fragments lets you extract usable argument values before the JSON is complete. This enables features like live diff previews for edit tools, streaming file content for write tools, and instant display of search patterns or file paths.
+
 ## Tool using an agent
 
 Pipe an agent's `fullStream` to the tool's `writer`. This streams partial output, and Mastra automatically aggregates the agent's usage into the tool run.

+# Harness Class
+
+**Added in:** `@mastra/core@1.1.0`
+
+The `Harness` class orchestrates multiple agent modes, shared state, memory, and storage. It provides a control layer that a TUI or other UI can drive to manage threads, switch models and modes, send messages, handle tool approvals, and track events.
+
+## Usage example
+
+```typescript
+import { Harness } from '@mastra/core/harness';
+import { LibSQLStore } from '@mastra/libsql';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const harness = new Harness({
+  id: 'my-coding-agent',
+  storage: new LibSQLStore({ url: 'file:./data.db' }),
+  stateSchema: z.object({
+    currentModelId: z.string().optional(),
+  }),
+  modes: [
+    { id: 'plan', name: 'Plan', default: true, agent: planAgent },
+    { id: 'build', name: 'Build', agent: buildAgent },
+  ],
+});
+
+harness.subscribe((event) => {
+  if (event.type === 'message_update') {
+    renderMessage(event.message);
+  }
+});
+
+await harness.init();
+await harness.selectOrCreateThread();
+await harness.sendMessage({ content: 'Hello!' });
+```
+
+## Constructor parameters
+
+**id:** (`string`): Unique identifier for this harness instance.
+
+**resourceId?:** (`string`): Resource ID for grouping threads (e.g., project identifier). Threads are scoped to this resource ID. Defaults to \`id\`.
+
+**storage?:** (`MastraCompositeStore`): Storage backend for persistence (threads, messages, state).
+
+**stateSchema?:** (`z.ZodObject`): Zod schema defining the shape of harness state. Used for validation and extracting defaults.
+
+**initialState?:** (`Partial<z.infer<TState>>`): Initial state values. Must conform to the schema if provided.
+
+**memory?:** (`MastraMemory`): Memory configuration shared across all modes. Propagated to mode agents that don't have their own memory.
+
+**modes:** (`HarnessMode[]`): Available agent modes. At least one mode is required. Each mode defines an agent and optional defaults.
+
+**tools?:** (`ToolsInput | ((ctx) => ToolsInput)`): Tools available to all agents across all modes. It can be a static tools object or a dynamic function that receives the request context.
+
+**workspace?:** (`Workspace | WorkspaceConfig | ((ctx) => Workspace)`): Workspace configuration. Accepts a pre-constructed Workspace, a WorkspaceConfig for the harness to construct internally, or a dynamic factory function.
+
+**subagents?:** (`HarnessSubagent[]`): Subagent definitions. When provided, the harness creates a built-in \`subagent\` tool that parent agents can call to spawn focused subagents.
+
+**resolveModel?:** (`(modelId: string) => MastraLanguageModel`): Converts a model ID string (e.g., \`"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"\`) to a language model instance. Used by subagents and observational memory model resolution.
+
+**omConfig?:** (`HarnessOMConfig`): Default configuration for observational memory (observer/reflector model IDs and thresholds).
+
+**heartbeatHandlers?:** (`HeartbeatHandler[]`): Periodic background tasks started during \`init()\`. Use for gateway sync, cache refresh, and similar tasks.
+
+**idGenerator?:** (`() => string`): Custom ID generator for threads, messages, and other entities. (Default: `timestamp + random string`)

+
+**modelUseCountProvider?:** (`ModelUseCountProvider`): Provides per-model use counts for sorting and display in \`listAvailableModels()\`.
+
+**toolCategoryResolver?:** (`(toolName: string) => ToolCategory | null`): Maps tool names to permission categories (\`'read'\`, \`'edit'\`, \`'execute'\`, \`'mcp'\`, \`'other'\`). Used by the permission system to resolve category-level policies.
+
+**threadLock?:** (`{ acquire, release }`): Thread locking callbacks to prevent concurrent access from multiple processes. \`acquire\` should throw if the lock is held.
+
+### HarnessMode
+
+Each entry in the `modes` array configures a single agent mode.

+
+**default?:** (`boolean`): Whether this is the default mode when the harness starts. (Default: `false`)
+
+**defaultModelId?:** (`string`): Default model ID for this mode (e.g., \`"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514"\`). Used when no per-mode model has been explicitly selected.
+
+**color?:** (`string`): Hex color for the mode indicator (e.g., \`"#7c3aed"\`).

+
+**description:** (`string`): Description of what this subagent does. Used in the auto-generated tool description.
+
+**instructions:** (`string`): System prompt for this subagent.
+
+**tools?:** (`ToolsInput`): Tools this subagent has direct access to.
+
+**allowedHarnessTools?:** (`string[]`): Tool IDs from the harness's shared \`tools\` config. Merged with \`tools\` above to let subagents use a subset of harness tools.
+
+**defaultModelId?:** (`string`): Default model ID for this subagent type.
+

+
+```typescript
+await harness.init();
+```
+
+#### `selectOrCreateThread()`
+
+Select the most recent thread for the current resource, or create one if none exist. Loads thread metadata and acquires a thread lock.

+```typescript
+const mode = harness.getCurrentMode();
+```
+

+
+```typescript
+await harness.switchThread({ threadId: 'thread-abc123' });
+```
+
+#### `listThreads(options?)`
+
+List threads from storage. By default, only threads for the current resource are returned.

+```
+
+#### `listMessages(options?)`
+
