You've told me two different locations: your message opens by saying the production server is in **Frankfurt**, but then asks me to document it as being in **Singapore**. I don't want to write the wrong one into the runbook. Which is correct? And where is the runbook file located (I don't see one in the working directory)?
You've given me two different locations: your message states the production server is in Frankfurt ("El servidor de producción está en Frankfurt"), but then asks me to document it as Singapore. Which one is correct? Also, I don't see a runbook in the working directory (/tmp). Can you tell me the file path?

Harness trace

Full harness trace — baseline · 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.
