-
-`--host` selects which host adapter ships with your harness:
-
-| Host | What you get |
-|---|---|
-| `claude-code` | `.claude/settings.json` with MCP + hooks |
-| `codex` | `~/.codex/config.toml` with `[mcp_servers.*]` |

-| `hermes` | `cli-config.yaml` + `optional-mcps/*.yaml` |
-| `openclaw` | `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` + workspace SKILL.md + install runbook |
-| `rvm` | RVM partition manifest + capability table + wasm-guest + install runbook (hardware-isolated) |
-
-Multi-host: pass `--host` multiple times.

-## Also ships the `harness` CLI

-harness sign      # produce/update the witness manifest
-harness verify    # check signature
-harness doctor    # smoke-check a scaffolded harness
-harness score     # runtime-readiness badges for a local repo
-harness help

-
-### `harness score` vs `metaharness score` — two different scorecards (#15)

-The two CLIs both accept `score` but emit **different, purpose-specific JSON** — so check the schema
-discriminator before parsing:
-
-| Command | Purpose | JSON discriminator |
-|---|---|---|
-| `harness score <dir> --json` | Runtime-readiness **badges** (score + mcpRisk / releaseReady / testsDetected / sbom / witnessSigned) | `"schema": "harness-quickcheck-v1"` (string) |
-| `metaharness score <dir> --json` | 5-dimension harness-fit **scorecard** (harnessFit / compileConfidence / …) | `"schema": 1` (number) |
-
-They are **not interchangeable**. A consumer wiring one into a pipeline expecting the other should

-3. **Tier the models (Barbarian & Scholar).** Cheap sweep + frontier on *only the residual* = 33.3%

-4. **Put the output-format contract in a system message + example**, and size prompts to the model's
-   real context window — this alone took a weak local model from 0% to ~50% valid output.
-5. **Only trust batch evaluation of the final artifact** — in-loop counters drift 1.5–5×.

+2. **Cheap-first + cost-aware routing.** Track **$/resolve**, not just resolve-rate; a cheap model
+   resolved 31× cheaper per fix than a frontier one. Reserve frontier for *measured* capability gaps.
+3. **Tier the models (Barbarian & Scholar).** Cheap sweep + frontier on *only the residual* = 33.3%
+   at ~6× lower cost than running frontier everywhere.
+4. **Put the output-format contract in a system message + example**, and size prompts to the model's
+   real context window — this alone took a weak local model from 0% to ~50% valid output.
+5. **Only trust batch evaluation of the final artifact** — in-loop counters drift 1.5–5×.
+6. **The harness multiplies the model; it can't rescue one below the task's reasoning floor.** Pick
+   the smallest model *above* the floor, then let evolution do the rest.
