Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 5.5 f4bd984fda docs(harnessx-removal): the plane replaces HarnessX in README, docs and specs (task 8)
README: "Configuring the HarnessX agentic plane" becomes "The agentic
plane (ax)" (ousast plane run|status|doctor|remember, per-task Model,
budget and egress, pointer to ops/ax/README.md, one tagged retirement
line); "The HarnessX self-improving cycle" becomes "The self-improving
cycle", and its MetaAgent paragraph is replaced by the memory proposer
(`ousast improve --memory`, provenance, train-on-test guard). The fusion
panel_model/decider_model lines and the [harnessx] spend caps are gone.
The README reference test now passes without its strict xfail.

docs/examples.md section 6 runs the plane; docs/threat-model.md describes
the per-task EgressPolicy, the usd/calls budgets and the start-request
credential path. RELEASE_NOTES.md gets an Unreleased entry: HarnessX
removed, the retired keys and their errors, the silent loss of the
second hunter for users who set [models] hunter, and the plane as the
agentic path.

Dated retirement notes (2026-09-30) head the requirements, design and
brief of harnessx-self-improving-rulesets, learning-harness,
three-stage-scan and openrouter-sast-harness, and follow the spec table
in steering/overview.md; history is unchanged. All tasks are checked, so
spec.json moves to implementation-complete.

# Unreleased
## HarnessX removed; the ax plane is the agentic path (2026-09-30)
HarnessX, the optional agentic extra (`openultrasast[harnessx]`), is removed with its code,
packaging extra and lock entries (retired 2026-09-30). Agentic work runs on the ax plane:
`ousast plane run|status|doctor|remember`, with one Model and one `usd`/`calls` budget per
task, deny-by-default egress per task, and the provider key sent only in the task's start
request. See [ops/ax/README.md](ops/ax/README.md). Deterministic outputs (pair replay,
quick benchmark, standard scan, `improve --dry-run`) are byte-identical before and after.
Retired config keys (retired 2026-09-30):
- `[models] verifier` fails with `RetiredConfigError` (the CLI prints it and exits 2): LLM
verification runs on the plane (`verify` + `agree`). Remove the key.
- `[fusion] panel_model` and `[fusion] decider_model` fail the same way: fusion is
deterministic; independent LLM agreement is the plane's `agree` task. Remove the keys.
- A `[harnessx]` section (retired 2026-09-30) loads with one warning naming the plane and is
otherwise ignored.
**Silent change for `[models] hunter`.** If you set `[models] hunter` and had the extra
installed, a standard scan ran two LLM hunters: the MAP-stage tool hunter and the
HarnessX hunter pool (findings with ids `hx-hunter:<path>:<line>`). The key is still
valid and still enables the tool hunter, so nothing fails and nothing warns, but the
second hunter's findings no longer appear. Repository-wide LLM hunting runs on the plane
(`verify` passes and `agree`).
The LLM judge, the LLM fusion panels and the in-loop hosting of deterministic stages are
retired without a local replacement. `ousast improve --memory` now proposes rule-status
edits from the plane memory, through the unchanged validator and gate.
# v1.2.0-alpha.1
Experimental pre-push security safety net for AI-accelerated development. Python package
version: `1.2.0a1`. This alpha is **not a rollout GO**; no real hook capability is enabled.
- Analyze immutable pushed commits across refs without changing the working tree or
replacing existing hooks. Share one deadline across preparation, analysis and reporting.
- Keep the existing ranker responsible for scope and physically exclude vendor code from
graph inputs. Reuse only compatible, complete immutable graph and answer artifacts.
- Gate advisory and blocking alerts on the same actionable change/witness/repair evidence.
Preserve explicit incomplete coverage; optional model assistance cannot create evidence.
- Add frozen runtime and PHP/Node/Python evaluation records with honest populations,
missing-target accounting and versioned eligibility that rejects stale evidence.
- Repair the pinned JavaScript frontend's Gruntfile omission and incomplete-census handling.
The real NodeGoat input now retains 44/44 files; native PHP/JavaScript smoke passes.
Implementation verification: 1321 tests passed, nine skipped; detector/map/local-pair
gates and packaged partition smoke passed. These checks verify implementation contracts,
not useful hook precision, recall or latency.
Rollout remains blocked by representative changed-code latency/completion, VAmPI
query/context/transitive evidence and independent reviewed per-capability populations.
The earlier eligibility artifact is stale under the repaired identities and enables
nothing. See [current spec status](https://github.com/norandom/OpenUltraSAST/blob/v1.2.0-alpha.1/.kiro/specs/pre-push-safety-net/status.md) for the
owners, unchanged thresholds and required revalidation. Pre-push implementation stands
at 26/27 tasks; task 8.3 remains blocked. C arithmetic/bounds detection is unsupported.
