Good morning. It's September 1st, and Openharness just shipped version 0.6.0.
The headline pattern this cycle is a boundary finally getting enforced: outside the sandbox, the CLI provisions the host; inside it, the CLI provisions harnesses and tools — not the Docker image. PR 903 fixed the actual bug behind this, where root-level harnesses like Claude Code and Codex silently failed to install…
The second theme is process hardening for the agent workflow itself. PR 927 closed a knowledge loop so planning re-verifies against current sources instead of trusting stale docs. PR 931 adopted a new architecture decision record making clear the coding agent is the runtime and skills are procedures, not roles — and…
One late addition, PR 938, adds a deployment provisioning guard — flagged honestly by its own benchmark as not capability-beneficial, but closing a regression floor.

That's Openharness Daily for September 1st.
