Better Harness

Better Harness reviews the outer coding-agent harness for lifecycle controls, repeated work, project feedback, agent assets, session outcomes, repair planning, durable reports, finding-bound fixes, and manual direct fixes. Invoke only via slash command to keep sessions, project, and agent assets independent.
