-The harness turns policy-as-text into an executable pipeline. It has **no memory of its own** — everything it knows between two agent calls is on disk in `gcf/`, so a run killed at any point restarts and reaches the same state.
+The harness turns policy-as-text into an executable pipeline. The game's state is on disk in `gcf/` and git, so a run killed at any point restarts and reaches the same state. The runs' own state is in `.gcf-session/`: the agent sessions a rerun resumes, the item worktrees with their uncommitted work, locks and logs. Losing it never breaks the game's model, but it loses those resumes, that work and the diagnosis: delete a single stale file, never the folder.

 0.5.1 is a fix release. During a run, `gcf/config.yml` is always readable, and a Grep inside `gcf/` reads only readset files. An import breaks a `depends:` cycle the pair checks closed and asks a D1 about it. It cuts a section longer than a segment at paragraphs, and lens and pair prompts carry a window around the quote. `/gcf-run` checks the plan against each pillar's invariant and asks each pillar's review question over the diff. Use it with core 0.4.1, which brings the parent feature into the readset.
 
+0.9.6 (with core 0.7.14, now the peer range): `/gcf-run-ingest` hands its workflow the sections with their bodies, gets the same delta again after a failed run and ends the import with `gcf anchor --done`; it takes the text of a changed section as `/gcf-ingest` does, and adds resources, entities and measurable constraints by the sequential pass. The workflow marks the GDD as data in every prompt and asks a lens's D2 as a D1. `/gcf-run` reads only `INDEX.md` and `config.yml` beyond the readset, hands fresh subagents the context's graveyard and D2 lines, counts a re-verify after review against `dod_attempts`, files a D1 for a design question on main, never widens the readset by a false `depends:`, and runs in Claude Code only.
+
+0.9.5: `gcf-harness metrics` also sums the cost per item over all its runs and per day and week (`items`, `by_day`, `by_week` in `--json`, a `weeks:` line in the text); `gcf-board` 0.2.18 shows them in its Metrics tab. A resumed session's cost no longer counts twice: `claude` reports a resumed session's whole dollar total, so the lessons turn and a rerun after a limit or a cut now count from what the session had already spent (it is kept in `<id>.agent.json`); before, a lessons turn added its session's cost again. The `done in …` line of the log still shows claude's own figure. A core refusal reads as its whole message: a failed `git worktree add` names its cause, not only git's first line.
+
 0.9.4 keeps run metrics (Harness-PRD §11) and adds `ai-factory gcf-harness metrics`. Use it with core 0.7.13, which logs the plan checks and the DoD attempts, and refuses `close` and `submit` without a green `gcf verify` of the code as it is. `/gcf-run` runs the verify again after a review fix; implement-guard refuses `gcf close` or `gcf submit` with `--unverified` in a `/gcf-run` session, since a move past the DoD gate is the human's call. A main-mode item whose move went past it anyway (the commit says `(unverified: …)`) reads `— moved without a green gcf verify` on its report line, and `gcf-harness metrics` counts such moves.
 
 0.9.2 holds `/gcf-run` to aif-implement. Run `ai-factory gcf-harness init` again after the update: it registers the new hook.

 **`ai-factory gcf-harness gate <item-id…>`** — the `/gcf-run` gate as code. It reads one `gcf audit --json` report and exits 1 with a one-line reason when the items may not go: a core older than 0.4.0, a `schema:` other than 1 in `gcf/config.yml`, an id with no work item, a feature (run its children; the feature closes when they are finished), an item that is not `ready`, an unplayed dependency, no WIP room for the batch (items awaiting a verdict + the batch's `gate: verdict` items over `wip_built_limit`), or two items of the batch touching the same system unless both say `parallel: ok`. The tune limit is not a gate rule: `verdict tune` itself refuses at the limit, and an item tuned up to it still gets its last build. The skill runs it and stops on a non-zero exit — no model compares the numbers.
 
-**`ai-factory gcf-harness run <item-id…> [--agent "<cmd>"]`** — runs a batch at once, each item in its own worktree (`gcf worktree <id>`) with its own agent session: `claude -p --output-format stream-json --verbose "/gcf-run <id> --worktree"` by default, or the command in `--agent` / `GCF_RUN_AGENT`. The sessions run unattended, so set the agent's permissions for print mode first. A session ends with a commit and `gcf verify <id> --mark` (the `GCF-Verified` trailer); a question for the human goes into `.gcf-session/outcome.json` in its worktree, and `run` records the block on main. Then `gcf integrate` merges the verified branches and records each move, and `run` prints the playtest session. Its first step, like `/gcf-run`'s, integrates the verified branches a dead run left. A session that ended with no result leaves its item `ready`; the next `run` resumes its worktree and the agent's own session (`--resume <session_id>`, kept in `.gcf-session/runs/<id>.agent.json`), in either run mode; `--fresh` starts a new session instead. A session cut off by Claude's usage limit reports `paused (usage limit, resets 3am (…))` and `limit_resets`. Logs: `.gcf-session/runs/<id>.log`, written as the session works: a `start:` line, then one stamped line per agent message, tool call (`tool: Edit <file>`, `tool: Bash <command>`) and failed tool result, and at the end the agent's final text and `done in 34m, 212 turns, $3.41 (…tokens)`; stderr goes in as it is, and a non-Claude `--agent` keeps its own lines. With `--json`, each item carries the session's `cost_usd`, `tokens`, `turns` and `duration_ms` when the agent reported them. One run drives an item at a time (`.gcf-session/runs/<id>.lock`), and a resumed worktree first gets main merged in, so the answer from an `unblock` reaches the session. A worktree sees only what is committed: keep `.ai-factory.json`, the installed extensions and `.claude/` (skills, the readset-guard hook) in git, or the session has no `/gcf-run` and no `ai-factory gcf`.

On Windows a project in a deep folder needs `git config core.longpaths true`, or `git worktree add` fails on `Filename too long`.
 
 **`ai-factory gcf-harness metrics [--since <date>] [--json]`** — the run metrics of Harness-PRD §11 from `gcf/.metrics`: how many item runs reached `submit` or `close` (a run the usage limit paused or a session cut short does not count as finished), the block reasons, what the runs cost (dollars, minutes, turns, handoffs, code written outside aif-implement), the plan checks per item (the improve passes), the DoD attempts per item and the checks that failed them, and the guard firings by hook and by item. The logs: `run-log.csv` (one line per item of each `run`), `guard-log.csv` (each denial of readset-guard and implement-guard, by hook: `readset`, `implement`, or `verify` for a move past the verify gate), and the core's `plan-log.csv` and `verify-log.csv`. A worktree session's lines go to the main checkout's logs; the next `gcf integrate` commits them.

+- economy resources, data entities and measurable constraints come from the sequential pass of step 10

 workflow:
-1. run `ai-factory gcf anchor <file> --json` and keep the sections list
-2. on a re-import the output carries `delta`: keep only the sections whose anchor is in `delta.added`, skip the workflow when none are left, and apply the other delta classes as step 17 of the gcf-ingest skill does
-3. read `envelope_default_spread` from `gcf/config.yml`
-4. run `ai-factory gcf where --json` and keep every listed id as `taken`: an import never mints an id the project has used
-5. invoke the Workflow tool with scriptPath `.ai-factory/extensions/gcf-harness-aif-ext/workflows/ingest.js` and args `{sections, spread, taken}`
-6. append each unit's `section` to `gcf/design/<system>.md`; start a missing file with `# <system>` and `purpose: TBD`; append `- <id>` per unit to `gcf/backlog.md`
-7. write each envelope into a `feel` record of the unit citing its anchor, with `assumed: q-NNN` beside its quote; write each `exact` number as a closing comparison into that unit
-8. append the D1 and D2 records to `gcf/open-questions.md` in the record form the gcf-ingest skill states under outputs, a D2 with its `assumed:` and `until:`
-9. run `ai-factory gcf design check` and fix every blocking finding: a digit in prose becomes a comparison or words, a misquote becomes a D1 with lens `provenance`

+3. apply `changed`, `removed` and `renamed` as steps 17-18 of the gcf-ingest skill do: step 18 extracts the text of a changed section no quote covers any more
+4. read `envelope_default_spread` from `gcf/config.yml`
+5. run `ai-factory gcf where --json` and keep every listed id as `taken`: an import never mints an id the project has used
+6. invoke the Workflow tool with scriptPath `.ai-factory/extensions/gcf-harness-aif-ext/workflows/ingest.js` and args `{sections, spread, taken}`, the sections of steps 1-2 with their bodies
+7. append each unit's `section` to `gcf/design/<system>.md`; start a missing file with `# <system>` and `purpose: TBD`; append `- <id>` per unit to `gcf/backlog.md`
+8. write each envelope into a `feel` record of the unit its quote belongs to, with `assumed: q-NNN` beside the quote, and each `exact` number as a closing comparison there
+9. append the D1 and D2 records to `gcf/open-questions.md` in the record form the gcf-ingest skill states under outputs, a D2 with its `assumed:` and `until:`; name in a D1's `blocks:` the units it gates
+10. run steps 3-4 of the gcf-ingest skill over the same sections for economy resources, data entities and measurable constraints, and write them as its outputs say
+11. a resource rate goes into `sources` or `sinks`, a hard threshold into a constraint unit; the result's `constraints` are candidates for constraint units
+12. mark a unit whose nouns match the `purpose` or the `code` paths of an existing systems doc with `flags: impl?`; with `gcf/systems/` empty on a codebase, report the marks as blind
+13. run `ai-factory gcf design check` and fix every blocking finding: a digit in prose becomes an envelope or a comparison, a quote keeps its digits, a misquote becomes a D1 with lens `provenance`
+14. then run `ai-factory gcf anchor <file> --done`: the next re-import counts its delta from this one
+15. report the package in the GCF order: D1 questions first, pillar candidates, the design summary per subsystem with the top crossing units, D2 envelope assumptions
