Can you push the Tuesday meeting an hour later?

final reply
I don't have access to a calendar or scheduling system — my tools here are limited to reading and writing files in this workspace and fetching URLs. I can't move the Tuesday meeting myself.

If the meeting details are in a file here, point me to it and I can update that. Otherwise you'll need to reschedule it directly in your calendar app.

Full harness trace — flagOn · seed 1

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
