  "works": "Re-checked a different way: non-editable runtime-only install on Python 3.13, driving the harness Python API with an in-process scripted model, offline in a sandbox, with new scenarios. A 4-turn episode with write, read, list, search and code execution worked; read_file refused a symlink escape; non-zero exit codes were reported; the output cap truncated and flagged output; max_turns stopped an endless loop.",
  "breaks": "Reproduced: a normal Linux venv is rejected because its python is a symlink (a venv made with the copies option works); failed tools reach the model only as 'tool_execution_failed' with no reason. New: tool arguments that are valid JSON but break the tool's schema (wrong type, missing field) end the whole episode instead of being reported to the model; when the harness-level tool timeout fires, a command started by the code-execution tool keeps running after the model is told it timed out (the tool's own timeout argument does stop it); the file-search tool does not apply the workspace limit that the read and list tools use.",

Design caution, visible in the public source: the harness's code-execution tool runs whatever command the model asks for with your own user privileges.

   "Neutral caution, extending the earlier note: the harness workspace is not an isolation boundary. Besides the code-execution tool running with your user privileges, file search is not limited to the workspace and a harness-level timeout does not stop a running command.
