SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Harness provides a deterministic, observable substrate for cross-role task dispatch in the CDD protocol, centralizing mechanics and gate integrity so δ can orchestrate γ and β sessions with reliable observability and recoverability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized dispatch mechanics and gating that ensures δ's decisions are executed consistently across γ, α, and β cycles.
  • Observability contract delivering per-cycle JSONL streams, wake-up events, and timeout-recovery hooks to δ and operators.
  • Worktree management and identity discipline to support parallel α sessions with correct git attribution and isolation.
  • Polling, governance signals, and recovery workflows that enable safe interruption and restart of cycles.

Quick Start

Start a new dispatch cycle by triggering the cn dispatch primitive for the target cycle and monitor the per-cycle JSONL log to observe progress.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate deterministic task dispatch across multiple model roles?

Deterministic task dispatch across model roles is coordinated using a harness substrate that manages dispatch order, per-cycle observability streams, and worktree isolation for reliable orchestration.

What is the best way to manage git worktree isolation for parallel sessions?

Git worktree isolation for parallel sessions is managed through the dispatch harness substrate, enforcing correct git attribution and identity discipline to prevent branch conflicts during execution.

How do I set up observable dispatch cycles with JSONL logging?

Observable dispatch cycles with JSONL logging are set up by triggering the dispatch primitive, which delivers per-cycle streams, wake-up events, and timeout-recovery hooks for monitoring.

Do I need an active CDD cycle on origin to use the dispatch harness?

Yes, an active CDD cycle with the cycle branch existing on origin is required, alongside cross-reference to operator governance files to maintain gate integrity and dispatch mechanics.

How does timeout recovery work during automated task dispatch?

Timeout recovery during automated task dispatch works via polling and governance signals that enable safe interruption and restart of cycles, ensuring deterministic execution resumes correctly.

Why does cross-role task dispatch require centralized gating mechanics?

Cross-role task dispatch requires centralized gating mechanics to ensure orchestration decisions are executed consistently across cycles, providing reliable observability and recoverability for complex workflows.
