I'll start a notes file to track these.

Fact recorded:
- **API rate limit:** 6,000 requests per minute

Send along the next ones whenever you're ready.

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.
