Harness Engineering for Software Engineering via Modular Executable Dev-Primitives

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.07832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) equipped with terminal access have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks. However, existing agents remain brittle on long-horizon workflows, where they must repeatedly reconstruct program state scattered across source files, configurations, tests, dependencies, and runtime behavior, leading to increasingly long interaction histories, context explosion, and semantic drift.
