Openharness Daily: One Front Door, One Release
A four-part epic finished collapsing Open Harness onto a single command-line entry point, retiring the Makefile for good, while a shaky v0.5.0 release got patched into a clean v0.5.1. Developers should expect the "oh" tool and its JSON config to be the only supported path going forward.

PR 871 followed up by fixing eight documentation surfaces that…
Third theme: release stability. PR 895 shipped v0.5.1 after v0.5.0's release pipeline failed at the publish step over a missing test dependency — a type-checking scope problem, not a code bug.
