As models, APIs, environments, and requirements evolve, the harness must be continually modified. Before such a change can be made, a developer or coding agent must identify all code locations that implement the target behavior. This is difficult because production harnesses are large, tightly coupled, and behaviorally distributed, while modification requests describe what the system should do and repositories are organized by files and modules. Code search, repository indexing, and long-context processing ease inspection, but still leave this behavior-to-code mapping to be recovered by hand. Behavior localization is therefore a central bottleneck in harness evolution. We introduce the Harness Handbook, a behavior-centric representation synthesized automatically from a harness codebase via static analysis and LLM-assisted structuring, linking each behavior to its corresponding source. We also introduce Behavior-Guided Progressive Disclosure (BGPD), which guides agents from high-level behaviors to relevant implementation details and verifies candidate locations against the current source. On diverse modification requests from two open-source harnesses, Handbook-Assisted planning improves behavior localization and edit-plan quality while using fewer planner tokens, with the largest gains o…","meta_description":"🤗 Upvotes: 172 | cs.AI, cs.SE Authors: Ruhan Wang, Yucheng Shi, Zongxia Li, Zhongzhi Li, Yue Yu, Junyao Yang, Kishan Panaganti, Haitao Mi, Dongruo Zhou, L…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1152,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/daily-paper-cast-7079649/episodes/harness-handbook-making-evolving-agent-harnesses-readable-navigable-and-editable/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-paper-cast-7079649/harness-handbook-making-evolving-agent-harnesses-readable-navigable-and-editable.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
