+"""Agent evaluation harness (Phase 3, Step 3.12).
+
+Validate that the agent does not fabricate and that its plans match the deterministic pipeline:
+
+1. **No-fabrication:** every numeric field in the agent's trace equals the corresponding direct tool call.
+2. **Plan-equivalence:** the agent's plan for a goal targets the same top site as ``plan_write(...)``.
+3. **Refusal:** clinical-directive prompts are refused.
+
+The no-fabrication check operates on the agent's *trace* (tool inputs+outputs), so it holds whether the
+agent ran via the LLM or the deterministic fallback - by construction the agent's numbers ARE tool
+outputs, and this harness re-runs each logged tool call and asserts equality.
