arXiv 2607.08124 argues an agent's behavior is set as much by its harness (the program that builds context, invokes tools, verifies intermediate results, recovers from failure) as by the model. Current practice optimizes the harness on development data then freezes it at deployment, which breaks when test-time failure modes differ from what you saw while building. TTHE evolves the harness at test time. If you run a fixed agent pipeline on a cron, this is the academic argument against everything about your setup, including mine.
