Summary

Repo-wide documentation & code-comment accuracy audit. Every corrected fact was validated against the code or git history before editing — no guessed numbers.

What changed (all tracked files in this PR)

  • SPEC.md — payload is now task.md + bin/ (the run.sh wrapper was removed in PR5; the in-sandbox command is built by the agent adapter as a bash -lc invocation); OpenShell floor v0.0.59v0.0.110; image registry ghcr.ioquay.io/rcochran/openshell.
  • CHANGELOG.md — corrected the [0.1.2] release date (2026-06-092026-06-08, per git log -1 v0.1.2); added the missing [0.3.0] section built from git log v0.2.0..v0.3.0. harness render is deliberately excluded — it was added in feat: multi-document harness YAML, render command, profiles consolidation #66 and removed in refactor: remove deprecated commands, rewrite docs for apply-first CLI #68, so it never shipped in 0.3.0 (git cat-file -e v0.3.0:cmd/render.go → absent).
  • README.mdmake test says 16 packages (was 5; go list ./... = 16); make test-suite says 33 tests (was 23; make test-suite = 33/33).
  • AGENTS.mdtest/test-flow.sh usage corrected to real targets (local-container, openshift); kind runs via test/kind-lifecycle.sh. The old local/kind positional args never existed (see test/test-flow.sh usage line).
  • .agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md27+33 tests; primary-command loop matches main.go (dropped nonexistent stop/start, added delete doctor init migrate plan); example output 616 packages.
  • docs/release-plan.md — added a "Historical plan" banner: harness init generates a harness.yaml (it does not extract to ~/.openshell/harness/), and the on-disk fallback dir is ~/.config/harness-openshell (see detectHarnessDir() in main.go).
  • internal/agent/agent.gokind: payload/config error messages now use the actual header.Kind instead of hardcoding "payload" (the case accepts both kinds).
  • internal/openshell/sdkclient/auth.go — removed nonexistent oidc-human from the branchDefault comment.

Verification

go build ./..., go vet ./..., CGO_ENABLED=0 go test ./..., golangci-lint run (0 issues), firewall grep (clean), and make test-suite (33/33) all pass. The two agent.go error strings keep the substrings asserted by internal/agent/agent_test.go.

Not in this PR (local-only)

Corresponding fixes were also applied to gitignored/untracked files that don't appear in the diff: docs/modernization/README.md (PR4a/PR4b/PR5 shipped; next = PR7a), the PR-04 "SUPERSEDED — SHIPPED" banner, and harness-openshell-modernization.md (issue #84 now closed; InferenceRemove() removed).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Documented harness init, doctor, plan, and migrate commands.
    • Added support documentation for Codex entrypoints, YAML configuration, repository handling, headless tasks, and gateway discovery.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Validation errors now identify the correct document type.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified payload requirements, supported OpenShell versions, image conventions, and harness apply behavior.
    • Updated testing instructions, execution commands, release history, and configuration guidance.

Repo-wide accuracy audit; every corrected fact validated against code:

- SPEC.md: payload is task.md + bin/ (run.sh removed in PR5); version
  floor v0.0.59 -> v0.0.110; registry ghcr.io -> quay.io/rcochran/openshell;
  render-payload/payload-tree describe the adapter-built bash -lc command
- CHANGELOG.md: correct [0.1.2] date (06-09 -> 06-08); add the missing
  [0.3.0] section from git log v0.2.0..v0.3.0 (render excluded -- added in
  #66, removed in #68, never shipped in 0.3.0)
- README.md: unit tests 5 -> 16 packages; test-suite 23 -> 33 tests
- AGENTS.md: test-flow.sh targets (local-container/openshift), kind via
  kind-lifecycle.sh -- the local/kind args never existed
- .agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md: 27+ -> 33 tests; primary command list
  matches main.go (drop nonexistent stop/start); 6 -> 16 packages
- docs/release-plan.md: historical-plan banner noting harness init and the
  ~/.config/harness-openshell fallback diverge from the original plan
- internal/agent/agent.go: payload/config kind error messages use the actual
  header.Kind instead of hardcoding "payload"
- internal/openshell/sdkclient/auth.go: drop nonexistent "oidc-human" from
  the branchDefault comment

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The pull request updates specifications, release documentation, validation instructions, test counts, command examples, validation error wording, and authentication terminology.

Changes

Sandbox contract documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sandbox contract and command construction
SPEC.md
The specification requires OpenShell v0.0.110+, uses version-matched quay.io/rcochran/openshell images, and documents Codex, task.md, bin/, PATH setup, and agent-adapter command construction.

Harness and release documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Harness behavior and release history
docs/release-plan.md, CHANGELOG.md
The release plan documents shipped Phase 0 behavior and harness-directory details. The changelog adds the 0.3.0 entry and corrects the 0.1.2 date.

Validation and command documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation commands and coverage
.agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, README.md
Validation documentation now lists the current commands and reports 16 unit-test packages and 33 configuration-parsing tests.

Diagnostic and authentication terminology

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document-kind and OIDC terminology
internal/agent/agent.go, internal/openshell/sdkclient/auth.go
Validation errors now report the document’s actual kind. The authentication comment replaces oidc-human with oidc for OIDC without a client secret.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cb95

The PR corrects documentation and user-facing error messages, with the stated validation checks passing. Three minor documentation gaps remain around workspace overrides, custom entrypoint compatibility, and unsupported OpenShell versions; they may mislead users or cause command failures if followed literally, so the PR is mergeable with explicit follow-up.

Inline comments:
In @.agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md:
- Line 86: Update the sample test output in the validation documentation to
report the current 33-test config-suite count instead of 27/27, keeping the
surrounding output unchanged.
- Around line 110-115: Update README.md and SPEC.md to document both primary
commands, harness migrate and harness plan, matching the command names
registered by NewMigrateCmd and NewPlanCmd so the validation checks pass.

In `@SPEC.md`:
- Line 12: Update the sandbox overview wording near the entrypoint description
to indicate that Claude Code and OpenCode are examples rather than an exhaustive
list, while preserving the documented support for custom entrypoints such as
bash or binaries on PATH.
- Line 97: Update the “Render payload” specification to document the adapter’s
headless OpenCode invocation as `opencode run`, distinguishing it from `--print`
used by other headless entrypoints and `-p` used for interactive mode; keep the
description aligned with the command construction in the adapter.

- SPEC.md: entrypoint list is now non-exhaustive and adds codex (adapter has
  a codexAdapter); render-payload documents real task dispatch verified against
  internal/agent/adapter.go (opencode -> `run`, claude/codex/custom -> `--print`
  headless, `-p` interactive); document the primary `init`, `doctor`, `plan`,
  and `migrate` commands that were registered in main.go but undocumented
- README.md: add `plan` and `migrate` to the command reference
- .agents/skills/validate/SKILL.md: sample output config-suite line 27/27 -> 33/33
  (make test-suite = 33/33, 0 skipped)

All primary commands from main.go now appear in both README.md and SPEC.md.

89-97: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document OpenShell version checks as a hard failure. When CLI.CheckMinVersion detects a version below 0.0.110, harness apply returns incompatible openshell CLI and stops. Change step 3 from “warn” to “fail and stop.” If the version cannot be read or parsed, apply may warn and proceed.

Document the custom entrypoint contract

internal/agent/adapter.go appends --print to every non-opencode entrypoint in headless mode. This makes the documented bash and arbitrary PATH entrypoints incompatible unless they support --print. Document this requirement or add dedicated dispatch for custom entrypoints.

### `harness doctor [-f FILE] [--agent NAME] [--gateway NAME] [-o table|json|yaml]`

Validate the environment for a configured sandbox. Phase 1 (offline) checks the openshell binary, target dependencies, and provider credentials without a running gateway; Phase 2 (online) checks provider registration when the gateway is reachable.
