279
+ <ul><li>Harness optimization is the control layer around the model: context, tools, guardrails, and feedback.</li><li>Progressive disclosure keeps agents out of prompt bloat while preserving proof and tool access.</li><li>ThumbGate adds a concrete audit path and Pre-Action Checks so harness lessons become runtime enforcement.</li></ul>

282
+ <section class="detail-section">
283
+ <h2>What changed</h2>
284
+ <p>The model is no longer the whole system. The harness decides which instructions, tools, context packs, and approval rules the model sees before it acts.</p><p>When a team stuffs every rule into a global prompt, the agent loses reasoning room. When it routes work through lean discovery surfaces, the agent can fetch the exact tool schema, lesson, or harness only when the task requires it.</p>
