Story

Announced at Google I/O on May 19 and detailed here, the harness added parallel-task subagents, cross-platform terminal sandboxing, credential masking, and hardened Git policies. In early June, Google reset Gemini quota counters to zero for everyone and shipped a refreshed Gemini 3.5 Flash build. The sandboxing and credential masking are the interesting part. Harnesses are quietly adopting production-grade safety defaults instead of leaving them to you.
