+## How the standalone Refiner works
+
+The Refiner is more than a reusable prompt, but less than an autonomous Agent.
+It is a provider-neutral policy engine around a model stream and a bounded
+evidence contract:
+
+```text
+host Agent/runtime
+  -> bounded evidence + current mutable sources
+  -> @openpond/harness Refiner
+  -> no action | external route | exact edit proposal
+  -> host review, validation, application, and release
+```
+
+1. The host supplies the completed-turn evidence, admitted and current Harness
+   source, available mutation capabilities, and the exact evidence IDs the
+   model may cite.
+2. The package validates and bounds that input, constructs the Refiner messages,
+   requests a structured decision from the host's model stream, and repairs one
+   malformed response when necessary.
+3. Proposed mutations and recovery-related `no_action` decisions receive an
+   additional independent model critique.
+4. Deterministic admission rejects invented evidence IDs and proposals aimed at
+   unavailable memory, prompt, Skill, or Agent layers. Invalid final proposals
+   fail closed to `no_action`.
+5. The host decides whether and how to persist, review, validate, apply, advance,
+   or roll back an admitted proposal.
+
+The host therefore brings its own conversation history, traces, artifacts,
+memory, instructions, Skills, Agent definitions, persistence, authorization,
+and model adapter. Those inputs do not have to use OpenPond's file layout or
+Agent SDK internally, but they must be projected into
+`LocalHarnessRefinerEvidence`. `openpond-agent-sdk` is an optional downstream
+authoring/runtime choice for a host that wants Refiner proposals to update an
+OpenPond Agent project; the Refiner never imports it or calls it under the hood.
+
+### Decision surface
+
+The Refiner returns one of three outcomes:
+
+| Outcome | Meaning | Host responsibility |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `no_action` | The supplied evidence does not justify a durable change. | Record or discard the outcome according to host policy. |
+| `route` | The issue belongs to `runtime`, `product`, `taskset`, or `training`, not a mutable Harness source. | Send it to that workflow. A `taskset` route suggests evaluation coverage; it does not author or run a Taskset. |
+| `propose` | The evidence supports one exact `create`, `update`, or `delete` operation in `memory`, `prompt`, `skill`, or `agent`. | Review, apply, validate, version, and roll back the change when necessary. |
+
+The package proposes edits but never performs them. For an update it returns an
+exact `target`, `find`, and `replace`; for a creation it returns `target` and
+`createContent`. The host maps those logical paths to its own Markdown files,
+database records, JSON configuration, or framework-specific source format.
+Hosts that use OpenPond Agent SDK source can apply the same proposal through
+their Agent-project workflow, but matching the Agent SDK format is not required.
+
+### Provider adapter
+
+Connect any provider by adapting it to `LocalHarnessRefinerModelStream`:
+
+```ts
+import {
+  authorLocalHarnessRefinementWithModel,
+  type LocalHarnessRefinerEvidence,
+  type LocalHarnessRefinerModelStream,
+} from "@openpond/harness/refiner";
+
+const stream: LocalHarnessRefinerModelStream = async function* ({
+  messages,
+  signal,
+}) {
+  const response = await yourModel.generate({ messages, signal });
+  yield { text: response.text };
+};
+
+const evidence: LocalHarnessRefinerEvidence = {
+  capabilities: { memory: true, prompt: true, skill: true, agent: false },
+  trigger: { decision: "queue_refiner" },
+  observations,
+  admissibleEvidenceIds: observations.map((item) => item.id),
+  reviewPacket,
+  runtimeActivation: {
+    admittedRelease,
+    currentRelease,
+    rebasedOntoCurrent: false,
+    admittedSourceFiles,
+    admittedSourceCatalog,
+  },
+  sourceFiles,
+  sourceCatalog,
+  additionalEvidence: null,
+};
+
+const decision = await authorLocalHarnessRefinementWithModel({
+  evidence,
+  stream,
+  signal: new AbortController().signal,
+});
+
+if (decision.decision === "propose") {
+  // Present and validate the exact edit before your host applies it.
+  console.log(decision.route, decision.target, decision.summary);
+}
+```
+
+`reviewPacket` is the bounded chronological incident record: the current turn,
+up to three prior conversation turns, timeline events, artifacts, diagnostics,
+execution counters, matching prior incidents, and truncation metadata.
+`sourceFiles` contains only source content the Refiner is authorized to inspect;
+`sourceCatalog` can list additional known targets without exposing their
+contents. Never place secrets, credentials, or unrelated private conversations
+in either structure.
+
+The returned value is only `no_action`, an external ownership route, or an exact
+Harness edit proposal. Calling the function never writes a file or mutates host
+state. Use the workspace, proposal, validation, advancement, merge, and receipt
+helpers from this package if their immutable state model fits your host; storage
+and side effects remain yours.
