Some checks failed
CI / lint-and-test (push) Has been cancelled
Move content to correct locations: - AGENTS.md → .agents/AGENTS.md (with orchestrator reference update) - third_party/docs/ (8 reference docs) → wiki/concepts/ - manuals/ (12 Node-RED docs) → wiki/manuals/ Delete 23 unreferenced one-off scripts from scripts/ (keeping 5 active). Delete stale Dockerfile.e2e, docker-compose.e2e.yml, test/e2e/. Remove empty third_party/ directory. Root is now: README, CLAUDE.md, LICENSE, package.json, Makefile, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, docker/, scripts/ (5), nodes/, wiki/, plus dotfiles (.agents, .claude, .gitea).

DECISION-20260216-agent-harness-defaults
Context
- Task/request: Adapt EVOLV agents/skills using Harness Engineering patterns and set owner-controlled operating defaults.
- Impacted files/contracts:
.agents/AGENTS.md,.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md,.agents/skills/*/agents/openai.yaml, decision-log policy. - Why a decision is required now: New harness workflow needs explicit defaults for compatibility, safety bias, and governance discipline.
Options
- Compatibility posture
- Option A: strict backward compatibility
- Option B: controlled compatibility breaks with migration notes
- Safety posture
- Option A: protection-first
- Option B: availability-first
- Decision logging scope
- Option A: required only for breaking/risky changes
- Option B: required for all decision-gate outcomes
Decision
- Selected option: Compatibility
controlled; Safetyavailability-first; Decision loggingrequired for all decision-gate changes. - Decision owner: User
- Date: February 16, 2026
- Rationale: Maintain delivery and operational continuity while preserving governance through mandatory, durable decision records.
Consequences
- Compatibility impact: Breaking contract changes are permissible only when migration/deprecation is explicit.
- Safety/security impact: Control changes should bias toward continuity with bounded safeguards; critical protections still require explicit constraints.
- Data/operations impact: Decision traceability improves cross-turn consistency and auditability.
Implementation Notes
- Required code/doc updates: Set defaults in
.agents/AGENTS.mdand orchestrator skill instructions; keep decision-log template active. - Validation evidence required: Presence of defaults in policy docs and this decision artifact under
.agents/decisions/.
Rollback / Migration
- Rollback strategy: Update defaults in
.agents/AGENTS.mdand orchestrator SKILL; create a superseding decision log entry. - Migration/deprecation plan: For any future hard-break preference, require explicit migration plan and effective date in a new decision entry.
