+## [2.8.0] — 2026-08-30
+
+The harness stops shipping its own run. The repo is the driver, not the project.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`harness/` is now driver-only.** Runtime state (`harness/config.json`, `harness/plan.json`, `harness/features/feature-list.json`, `harness/progress.md`, `harness/session-handoff.md`, `harness/sprint-contract.md`, `harness/lessons-decisions.md`, `harness/capability/index.json`, `harness/run.json`, `harness/daemon.json`, `harness/supervisor.json`, `harness/activity.json`, `harness/rework.json`, `harness/replan.json`, `harness/loop-state.json`, `harness/next-session.json`, `harness/daemon.log`, `harness/.run-prompt.md`, `harness/.preflight`, `harness/run-journal.jsonl`, `harness/**/*.bak`, `harness/**/*.lock`, `harness/**/*.ilock`, `harness/worktrees/`) is git-ignored and deleted. Fresh clone shows no `SHIP 37/37` widget until `/infinity:init` creates a local (ignored) harness. Templates (`harness/docs`, `harness/skills`, `harness/features/feature-list.schema.json`, `harness/model-router.json`, `harness/ci`, `harness/scripts`) stay tracked. Fixes the dogfooding leak where every clone rendered its builder's SHIP bar.
+
+- **Refactored and simplified without changing behaviour.** Removed dead helpers (`migrateModelRouterTiers`, `tiersFromLegacyModelRouter`, `writeCanonicalWithLockSync`), replaced 11 inline `require()` calls with static imports, extracted `scheduler.ts` helpers (`isBudgetFull`, `hasSerializeTask`, `pickSerializeTask`, `isSerializeBlocked`, `eligibleTasks`, `groupKeyFor`, `roundRobin`), removed unused `WorkerSnapshot`/`tailWorkerOutput`/`listWorkers`/`nextModelForTask` exports, cleaned `goalState.ts`/`core/config.ts`/`modelRouter.ts` dead imports and empty blocks. Net −115 lines. `tsc --noEmit` clean and 35/35 tests pass.
+
+### Verified
+
+- `tsc --noEmit` clean · 35 unit tests pass · `harness/` on disk equals `harness/` tracked · fresh clone renders no legacy `SHIP 37/37`
+

+
+## 9. The canonical plan is `harness/plan.json`
+
+**Context.** The plan lived as `harness/features/feature-list.json`, a nested path that leaked storage layout into every reader. V3 renamed the canonical to `harness/plan.json` and kept the legacy path as a read-through + write-through alias with a `movedTo` stub. Reads try canonical first, then legacy; writes materialise both so `loadFeatureList` callers and `plan.json` callers see the same truth. One implementation in `src/core/featureList.ts`, one alias in `src/core/plan.ts`.
+
+**Cost.** Dual-write until all callers migrate; `.bak` handling for both paths.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Config tiers + limits are validated and clamped with a warning, not an exception
+
+**Decision.** `loadConfig` validates `pilot`, `limits`, `tiers`, and `execution.isolation`. Unknown pilot falls back to `autopilot`; `parallelAt` finer than `handoff` is clamped and logged; `isolation:none` forces `maxWorkers` to 1. `src/core/config.normalizeTiers` migrates `byDifficulty`/`master` from `harness/model-router.json` once, per tier.
+
+**Why.** A hand-edited `config.json` must produce a widget, never an exception that takes the session down. Logging the clamp tells the human what was changed without breaking the run.
+
+---
+
+## 11. The Daemon owns the run; the session becomes a control panel
+
+**Context.** Before 2.7 the run lived in the human's session and its model. The loop pushed the brief back into that session, so the session's model did every task, its context carried the whole run, and handoff replaced the human's terminal.
+
+**Decision.** A detached Daemon (`daemon/index.ts` via `spawn(detached:true)` + `unref()`) owns the run: heartbeat every 20s (stale 90s), localhost server on `127.0.0.1:0` with a 0600 token (`daemon.json`), `supervisor.json` + `activity.json` workers log. The extension captures `ctx.model` to `run.json.baseModel` at arm time; workers run as `pi --mode rpc` children with `--model` from their tier. `src/supervisor.ts` drives them — plain JS, zero tokens in the human session.
+
+**Cost.** One more process; `harness/daemon.log` for diagnostics; `guardSingleOwner` to prevent rival Daemons.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Handoff and model boundary are the same boundary
+
+**Decision.** `session.handoff` names the unit (goal/phase/sprint/feature/task/subtask). One worker owns one unit from start to finish. Crossing a unit boundary closes that worker and starts a new one; because the model is chosen at spawn, the session boundary and the model boundary are the same boundary by construction. A feature-level handoff is one session for the whole feature, and its tasks share that feature's hardest tier.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Per-phase planning invariants
+
+**Decision.** Every phase owns its tasks (`Task.phase` required on write, handoff collapse, progressive expansion via an `A` worker). `decideNext` is phase-scoped; `isPhaseDone` includes the rework queue; `rework` flips `complete` to `pending` with a record (forward-only); `replan` cancels (adds a `replan.json` record) rather than deleting, capped at 3 per phase. Gates hold until rework is drained; rework is capped at 2 and `maxBounces` at 2 with `bounceRequiresDelta`.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Parallel steel: ready-set, worktree, gate, merge
+
+**Decision.** `scheduler.ts` `ready` set respects `phase`/`dependsOn`/`parallelAt`/`maxWorkers`; `daemon/worktree.ts` creates a git worktree per concurrent worker, gates in the worktree, then merges under a merge lock with `post-merge gate` verification. Merge conflicts rework; worktree per worker is `worktree`/`none` isolation. After the worktree path was proven, `maxWorkers` was raised 1 → 3 with an `e2e --only realpi` proof.

+The project's ubiquitous language. One concept, one name — everywhere: spec, code, tests, docs.
 
 ## Terms
 
-### ExampleTerm
-<!-- Definition. What it IS, what it is NOT, and which nearby concept it
-     must not be confused with. Delete this example when adding the first
-     real term. -->
+### Plan
+
+The single source of truth on disk for what will be built. Canonical: `harness/plan.json` (legacy `harness/features/feature-list.json` still read/written). Structure: Goals → Sprints → Features → Tasks → Subtasks. Every task has `key`/`id`, `status`, `dependsOn`, `phase`; every feature has `criteria`. Grows via progressive expansion (one `A` worker seeds the next phase). Do not confuse with "plan file alias" — there is one plan.
+
+### Phase
+
+The gated pipeline: `research → define → plan → build → verify → simplify → review → ship`. Enabled by `config.phases.enabled`; progress and `decideNext` are phase-scoped; `isPhaseDone` includes the rework queue. Phases advance forward-only; backward movement is only via bounded rework/replan.
+
+### Gate
+
+Deterministic checks per phase (`src/core/gates.ts`). The only referee for phase advance. Advisory when unconfigured (never blocks). Decides pass/fail; the phase machine decides what happens next.
+
+### BaseRevision
+
+Optimistic-concurrency counter on the plan. Every mutating write of the plan via `taskList.writeTaskList` bumps it; a write presenting a stale revision is rejected. Held under `withLockSync` (`.ilock`, not `.lock`) so two parallel workers reading `N` do not both write `N+1` losing edits.
+
+### Worker / Run / Unit
+
+A *worker* is one background `pi --mode rpc` child process for one *unit* — goal, phase, sprint, feature, task or subtask as named by `session.handoff`. The *run* is the whole armed execution (`harness/run.json`). Workers write attempt history under `tmp/infinity-harness/<runId>/<feature>/<task>/attempt-N/` and are recorded with fingerprint (`baseRevision` + `featureListHash`). Parallel workers when `isolation=worktree`, each in its own git worktree.
+
+### Daemon / Supervisor / Control Room
+
+*Daemon* — detached `harness/daemon.json` owner (heartbeat 20s, stale 90s) + localhost server (port 0, token 0600). *Supervisor* — `harness/supervisor.json` + `activity.json` live worker + background log (the surfaces read). *Control Room* — the extension's UI is a thin viewer when the Daemon is live: it never renders a dead run as live, forwards throttle/approve/rework/replan to the Daemon, and respects the control-panel contract + `X` tripwire.
+
+### Tier / Pilot / Mode
+
+*Tiers* `A/B/C/D/X` in `config.tiers` — pure routing (difficulty → tier → `provider/id`); `X` is MASTER and is never directly assigned, only via one-step consultation ladder (`easy→moderate→difficult→MASTER`) when a fixup is needed. *Pilot* `copilot|autopilot|full` and *Mode* per-phase (`phaseModes`) decide whether a passing gate stops for a human signature.
+
+### Limits / Budget / Recycle
+
+*Limits* — `unitWallClockMs`, `maxRecycles`, `maxReworkPerUnit`, `maxReplansPerPhase`, caps. Guarded by `preflight` (tiers must serve one token) and `budget` (per-tier tokens/cost, `X` leak tripwire). *Recycle* — compaction recycles the worker (capped 2); `CredentialSynchronizationError` retries are not charged.
+
+### Rework / Replan / Bounce / Unstuck
+
+*Rework* — backward edge: BFS over `dependsOn` limited by `maxImpactDepth`, flips origin+impacted to `rework`/`pending` and records `harness/rework.json` return-to-origin. *Replan* — additive amendment (`harness/replan.json`) cancels (not deletes) with DAG validation, capped at 3 per phase. *Bounce* — review-phase `reviewBounce` flips to rework only when `fileDelta` + `bounceRequiresDelta`. *Unstuck* — orchestrator that tries strategies in `config.unstuck.strategies` order with fingerprint dedup, budgets, hysteresis and one-step-only master guard.
+
+### Handoff / Escalate
+
+*Handoff* — `session.handoff` granularity; when to start a fresh pi session (same unit keeps the session and the model). *Escalate* — the ladder the loop climbs on stalled failures; a model switch is a new worker session — session boundary = model boundary by construction.
+
+### Brief / Widget / Dashboard
+
+*Brief* — `src/core/brief.ts` “what do I do right now?” injected at session start and on phase change. *Widget* — terminal plan view; *Dashboard* — web view of the same state. Both include remote `router` + `rework` exposure (read-only, advisory).
