How many engineers are on the Platform team? Check orgchart.md, wiki.md, and budget.csv.

final reply
The three sources disagree:

| Source | Platform engineers |
|---|---|
| orgchart.md | 8 |
| wiki.md | 6 (last updated Q1) |
| budget.csv | 7 (headcount, may include the manager) |

No single authoritative answer. The most likely current figure is **7–8 engineers**: orgchart.md (8) and budget.csv (7) are close, and the budget number may or may not include manager R. Osei. The wiki's 6 is explicitly stale (Q1). If you need an exact number, confirm with R. Osei or HR.

Full harness trace — baseline · seed 2

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.
