Harness Issue #43 — Paper Digests

Three research papers on AI agent harness design, evaluated and stored.

Papers Covered

  1. Veritas: A Verifier Generation Harness for Agent Tasks (Zhang et al.) — A harness that generates verifiers automatically using evidence headers, domain rules libraries, and self-improving authoring principles — outperforming seven other harnesses.

  2. LiveWorkspace: Persistent Shared Visual State for Screenshot-to-Code Agents (Xiao et al.) — A visual coding harness that externalizes understanding as Shared Visual State, achieving 93% edit success rate by persisting visual context across code generation steps.

  3. Agent Benchmarks Stop Ranking Before They Run Out of Tasks (Dong et al.) — Agent benchmarks reduce runs to binary pass/fail bits, hiding meaningful performance gradients. Proposes clipped log-ratio scoring with dated anchors and cost as a separate axis.

🚫 This PR is missing its before/after evidence

Every pull request here has to show its work. Screenshots or a short screen recording, before the change and after it.

  • Before — no image or video under that heading
  • After — no image or video under that heading

How to fix it: edit the description, keep the ### Before and ### After headings from the template, and drag an image or video under each. GitHub uploads it inline. This check re-runs the moment you save.

A bug fix with no visible surface still needs it: show the failing behaviour, then the same steps passing. A terminal recording is fine.

Genuinely nothing to show — a CI tweak, a typo, a dependency bump? A maintainer can apply the no-visual-change label. Please don't ask unless it truly has no observable effect.
