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. 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 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.
