I couldn't complete this — I kept running into a problem (Now look up the licence identifier. It is not in the README; check the packaging metadata somewhere under pkg/.). You may want to retry or rephrase what you need.

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.
