final reply
Ines Duarte is on call right now. She's listed in `oncall/2026-09.txt`, which was last updated 2026-09-18. That file is newer than the August one, which named Tomas Weiss.

Full harness trace — flagOn · seed 3

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.
