The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly **299,792,458 metres per second** (often approximated as 3 × 10⁸ m/s). This value is exact by definition, since the metre is defined in terms of it.

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.
