Close out statehub-register bootstrap housekeeping (GLAS-0001)
Refined the auto-generated SCOPE.md/AGENTS.md from generic templates
to real repo specifics, added a Developer Workflow section with
actual install/test/run commands. Real workplan (GLAS-WP-0001) was
already seeded and done.

SCOPE

One-liner

Meta-framework routing between concrete agent-harness backends ("reins"), consuming sand-boxer for isolation. See docs/adr/ADR-001-rein-harness-family.md.

Core Idea

glas-harness owns the harness contract (docs/harness-contract.md: start_session/dispatch_tool/end_session) and the outer loop — profile resolution, sandbox request/teardown via sand-boxer, actor attribution. A rein owns its own inner agentic loop and is invoked through that contract.

In Scope

  • The Rein ABC and SandboxHandle/ToolCall/ToolResult types (src/glas_harness/contract.py)
  • The gateway that resolves a harness profile, requests a sand-boxer sandbox, runs one task through a rein, verifies, tears down (src/glas_harness/gateway.py)
  • Rein adapters that shell out to each rein's own CLI (src/glas_harness/reins/) — currently rein_aharness.py, rein_openweights.py
  • The rein registry (registry/reins/) and harness profile catalog (profiles/)

Out of Scope

  • Sandbox provisioning, profiles, placement — owned by sand-boxer
  • A rein's own agentic loop, tool execution, credential acquisition — owned by the rein itself (rein-aharness, rein-openweights, ...)
  • Scheduling/task sourcing — stays rein-local (docs/adr/ADR-003-scheduling-and-blueprint-sourcing-stay-rein-local.md)
  • e2e validation, code generation — owned by wise-validator, snuggle-inventor

Current State

GLAS-WP-0001 (harness contract + first two reins) is done. Both rein-aharness and rein-openweights are live-proven through the gateway against their real underlying providers (Claude Code CLI, OpenRouter). Not yet built: channel bridges, memory/skills layer, glas-harness's own State Hub reporting from the gateway (currently each rein reports its own events).
