 # @poncho-ai/harness
 
+## 0.43.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- [`134fae7`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/134fae7eb4f3658b8d2dc0a5e560b0bcad094679) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - fix(harness): conversations.search now works on Postgres
+
+  The SQL for `engine.conversations.search()` matched `data LIKE $3`, but
+  `data` is a `jsonb` column in Postgres — `jsonb LIKE text` raises
+  `operator does not exist: jsonb ~~ unknown` (Postgres error 42883), so
+  every search call against a Postgres-backed engine 500'd at runtime.
+
+  Cast `data` to text in the Postgres branch (`data::text LIKE $3`).
+  SQLite stores `data` as TEXT-of-JSON, so no cast there.
+
+  Discovered while wiring `GET /me/conversations/search` in PonchOS.
+
+## 0.43.0
+
+### Minor Changes

+- [`ff89631`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/ff89631715e54d6fdce174943e6e0fc9e4ce5d1e) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - harness: export `defaultAgentDefinition` so SDK consumers can match `poncho init` exactly
+
+  Lifts the `AGENT_TEMPLATE` markdown body from `@poncho-ai/cli` (where it lived
+  inside the `init` scaffolding) into a public helper on `@poncho-ai/harness`.
+  SDK consumers (PonchOS, custom servers, anyone calling
+  `new AgentHarness({ agentDefinition })` directly) can now do:
+
+  ```ts
+  import { defaultAgentDefinition } from "@poncho-ai/harness";
+
+  const harness = new AgentHarness({
+    agentDefinition: defaultAgentDefinition({
+      name: "poncho",
+      modelName: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
+    }),
+    // ... storageEngine, config, etc.
+  });
+  ```
+
+  This eliminates hand-copying the template — drift between consumers and
+  `poncho init` is no longer possible.
+
+  The CLI's `AGENT_TEMPLATE` export is preserved as a thin back-compat
+  wrapper that delegates to `defaultAgentDefinition`. No behavior change.
+
+  API additions (harness):
+  - `defaultAgentDefinition(opts?: DefaultAgentDefinitionOptions): string`
+  - `DefaultAgentDefinitionOptions`
+  - `DEFAULT_AGENT_NAME`, `DEFAULT_AGENT_DESCRIPTION`,
+    `DEFAULT_MODEL_PROVIDER`, `DEFAULT_MODEL_NAME`, `DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE`,
+    `DEFAULT_MAX_STEPS`, `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` constants
+
