What changed
Armsbaseline PersonalAssistant as shipped — harness runs post-hoc over the reply  vs  flagOn PersonalAssistant with the one-loop harness-driven proposer
The differencethe candidate lets the harness drive tool calls in-loop instead of reviewing an already-finished reply

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.
