Genie / Harness / Governor
Three complementary responsibilities: keeping intent coherent, running agent work and checking whether integration is justified.
Genie models intentions, obligations and their dependencies. Harness provides sessions across model providers, with durable ledgers and history. Governor independently observes repository state and evaluates integration against explicit policy.
- 01 Genie Intent · obligations · dependencies
- 02 Harness Sessions · workers · durable history
- 03 Evidence Changes · review · CI results
- 04 Governor Pinned state · policy · integration gate
What makes it different
Completion depends on evidence outside a model’s conversation. Repository state, review and CI can invalidate an earlier conclusion. The integration gate is deterministic; an agent’s recommendation does not grant merge authority.
Implementation boundary
These are separate projects with implemented components and evolving contracts. The diagram maps responsibilities, not a certified end-to-end deployment. Mandatory coordination and routing controls were paused in October 2026.
