# Harness Audit

Last audited: 2026-06-26

This audit records the repository state used to add the agent harness. It is a
compatibility note, not a replacement for existing rules or architecture docs.

## Existing Commands

| Area | Existing Command | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bootstrap | `./planet.sh init` | Syncs uv/Bun dependencies, creates missing env files, starts data services, seeds defaults. |
| Start | `./planet.sh start` | Starts backend, frontend, AI Provider, PostgreSQL/Redis, and Motion Agent when available. |
| LAN start | `./planet.sh start --allow-lan` | Opens frontend/backend/AI Provider ports and requests Windows firewall/port cleanup when needed. |
| Restart | `./planet.sh restart` | Supports scoped restart flags for backend, frontend, AI Provider, database, and Motion Agent. |
| Health | `./planet.sh health` | Checks containers, backend `/health`, AI Provider `/health`, frontend, and Motion Agent state. |
| Logs | `./planet.sh log` | Supports backend, frontend, AI Provider, and Motion Agent log views. |
| User fallback | `./planet.sh createuser` | Interactive emergency/local account creation. |
| Destructive reset | `./planet.sh destroy` | Requires confirmation and removes Planet-owned Docker/build/runtime state. Not a validation command. |
| Backend CI smoke | `cd backend && uv run --frozen --group dev --project .. python -m pytest -s tests/test_api.py tests/test_realtime_sources.py -q` | Mirrors `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`. |
| Frontend build | `cd frontend && bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build` | Bun-only workflow. |
| Root helper | `bun run mock:ais-ws` | Runs `scripts/mock-ais-ws-server.ts` from the root package. |

## Existing Agent Instructions

| File | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `AGENTS.md` | Present | Single authoritative agent behavior guide. It references `rules.md`, `project_context.md`, harness validation, and high-risk areas. |
| `rules.md` | Present | Mandatory modular rules. Always load `core`, `security`, and `workflow`; load topic modules as needed. |
| `project_context.md` | Present | Static context. Some roadmap-era stack details are older than the current README/docs. |
| `.claude/commands/*.md` | Present | Existing command docs for cleanup, docs, goal-driven, and release workflows. |
| `.codex/skills/*.md` | Present | Existing local skills for cleanup, docs, goal-driven, and release. |

## Existing CI Gates

The repository uses `.gitea/workflows/`, not `.github/workflows/`.

| Workflow | Gate |
| --- | --- |
| `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml` | Backend smoke tests, frontend Bun build, Docker build smoke, Helm lint/template. |
| `.gitea/workflows/release.yaml` | Builds and pushes frontend, backend, and AI Provider images on main/tag/manual release events. |
| `.gitea/workflows/deploy-staging.yaml` | Deploys Helm release to staging and runs curl smoke tests inside the cluster. |

## Existing Docs And Architecture Maps

| Area | Docs |
| --- | --- |
| Current architecture and startup | `README.md` |
| Technical docs index | `docs/technical/zh/README.md`, `docs/technical/en/README.md` |
| Documentation rules | `docs/documentation-coverage-rules.md` |
| Operations | `docs/technical/zh/ops-runbook.md`, `docs/technical/en/ops-runbook.md` |
| Startup internals | `docs/technical/zh/ops-planet-sh-startup.md`, `docs/technical/en/ops-planet-sh-startup.md` |
| AI Provider | `docs/technical/zh/agents-aiprovider.md`, `docs/technical/en/agents-aiprovider.md` |
| Frontend admin | `docs/technical/zh/frontend-admin-frontend-context.md`, `docs/technical/en/frontend-admin-frontend-context.md` |
| Earth rendering | `docs/technical/zh/earth-frontend-context.md`, `docs/technical/zh/earth-render-layer-order.md`, `docs/technical/zh/earth-layer-style-reference.md` |
| Plans and history | `docs/plans/README.md`, `docs/deprecated/README.md` |

## Release And Deploy Process

- Release workflow is documented in `.codex/skills/release/SKILL.md` and
  `.claude/commands/release.md`.
- Version-bearing files include `VERSION`, `frontend/package.json`,
  `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`, `docs/CHANGELOG.md`, and
  `docs/version-history.md`.
- Delivery automation lives in `.gitea/workflows/release.yaml` and
  `.gitea/workflows/deploy-staging.yaml`.
- Helm chart entry point is `deploy/helm/planet/Chart.yaml`.

## Missing Or Unclear Areas

- The older lowercase `agents.md` entry has been merged into uppercase
  `AGENTS.md` so coding agents and harness tools use one source of truth.
- `project_context.md` originally included older roadmap assumptions such as
  Celery, Kafka, TimescaleDB, MinIO, and UE5 as active stack elements. The
  harness pass updated it to separate active stack facts from future directions;
  current code and technical docs still remain authoritative when details drift.
- No safe automatic hook system was already configured. This phase documents
  manual reminders instead of adding hooks.
- `.github/workflows/` is absent by design; CI is under `.gitea/workflows/`.

## Conflicts And Preserved Rules

| Conflict Or Tension | Resolution |
| --- | --- |
| Prompt suggested `AGENTS.md`; repository already had `agents.md`. | Merged the lowercase guide into uppercase `AGENTS.md`; harness doctor now requires `AGENTS.md` and keeps `agents.md` absent to prevent split authority. |
| Harness validation could duplicate CI. | Added wrapper scripts that call existing commands and mirror current CI gates where practical. |
| Full Docker smoke builds are expensive locally. | Kept them opt-in with `PLANET_HARNESS_DOCKER_SMOKE=1`. |
| Internal harness docs could clutter public Docs UI. | Kept `docs/HARNESS.md` and `docs/harness-audit.md` as repository docs, not product Docs entries. |
| Existing frontend toolchain is Bun-only. | Harness scripts and docs use Bun only and flag npm/pnpm/yarn lockfiles as failures. |
| Agents often miss user-installed Bun or uv in non-interactive shells. | Added `scripts/harness/lib.sh` to resolve tools from current `PATH` first and then the user's login interactive shell without hardcoding a dotfile. |
| Always-loaded security rules had no standalone harness gate. | Added `scripts/harness/security-check.sh` to block tracked `.env` / key files and scan for high-confidence committed private keys or provider tokens; quick-check now runs it. |
| Build success does not prove frontend page usability. | Added static frontend rules/doc checks and a Playwright route smoke for public pages, protected admin fallback, Docs loading and detail interactions, Earth iframe entry, login/register/verification/password-reset interactions, authenticated admin route/section rendering with mocked API data across desktop, mobile, and 125% / 150% zoom, plus manifest-derived desktop/mobile menu navigation and safe search/tab/dialog/Earth News interactions. |
| Route fallback behavior can regress even when every named page renders. | Extended the frontend smoke to verify `/` redirects to Earth, unauthenticated unknown routes show the login page, and authenticated unknown routes navigate back to `/admin`. |
| Frontend smoke route lists can drift from `AdminRoutes` and resource-page sections. | Updated the smoke to derive protected route checks and authenticated section deep-link checks from `AdminRoutes.tsx` and `PlainResourcePages.tsx`, including redirect-only `/alerts`. |
| Docs smoke mocks can drift from the product Docs catalog. | Updated the frontend smoke to derive mocked Docs catalog/content from `frontend/src/pages/Docs/docs-content.ts` plus backend Gatekeeper access metadata, then open every Chinese Docs catalog slug. |
| User manuals can miss a real console menu entry after route changes. | Added a docs consistency check that compares the manual console overview tables with `frontend/src/admin/routes/manifest.tsx`; fixed the missing `/docs` row in both user manuals. |
| Rendered pages can still contain broken internal shortcuts. | Added literal internal route-link checks and an interaction smoke for the AI settings shortcut; this caught and fixed a stale `/admin/settings` link that should point to `/settings`. |
| Global search entries can drift because their route targets live in data objects rather than JSX links. | Added a frontend rules check that validates every admin search `routePath` against the actual frontend route set. |
| Responsive styling fixes can satisfy one viewport by breaking the no-viewport-font rule. | Added a frontend rules failure for `font-size` values that use viewport or container query width units, and replaced public auth shell `vw` font sizing with fixed desktop/mobile sizes. |
| Typography polish can accidentally reintroduce squeezed non-zero letter spacing. | Normalized active frontend `letter-spacing` values to `0` and made the frontend rules check fail non-zero `letter-spacing` / `letterSpacing` declarations, with only inherit/default-zero forms allowed. |
| Native buttons can accidentally submit forms or keep controls clickable while loading after a props-spread reorder. | Added a frontend rules failure for TSX `<button>` elements without explicit `type` and for buttons whose `disabled` state can be overridden by a later props spread; fixed the data distribution buttons and auth button disabled ordering. |
| Admin/docs shell layouts can reintroduce brittle viewport sizing after a responsive fix. | Changed the admin and Docs route shells to use the existing `html/body/#root` 100% height chain, and added a frontend rules failure for exact `100vh` / `100vw` shell sizing in those CSS files. |
| Compact workspaces can drift back into card-in-card layouts or implicit AntD `Space` wrappers. | Added frontend rules failures for nested `Card` components, AntD imports, and `<Space>` layout primitives in active frontend source. |
| Connection-test controls can drift back into detached toolbar buttons. | Added a shared `ConnectionTestInput` suffix pattern for AI Provider and WebSearch Base URL fields, disabled WebSearch configuration/test controls when the tool is off, and made the frontend rules check fail detached AI/WebSearch connection-test buttons. |
| Same-category UI styles can fragment into page-local lookalikes. | Added same-category style owner warnings for semantic `badge`, `chip`, `pill`, `tag`, and `status` CSS selectors outside the approved shared React and Earth CSS owner files. |
| Visual fixes can go wrong when agents guess from missing screenshot paths. | Documented screenshots and images as primary visual evidence: if the path is not available, agents must search alternate attachment/local locations or report the blocker instead of inferring image content. |
| Public docs can reference stale admin section URLs. | Added docs consistency validation for documented `?section=` links and rendered smoke coverage for documented AI / collector deep links. |
| Active plan docs can preserve old admin deep-link assumptions after the technical docs are corrected. | Extended docs consistency checks to active `docs/plans/*.md` files for stale admin tab-query terms and actual `?section=` validity; corrected the docs audience split plan to current section routes. |
| Top-level README can drift from the actual frontend stack while technical docs stay current. | Updated README from Ant Design Pro to Tactile UI / Radix primitives / lucide-react and added README stale admin-stack terms to docs consistency checks. |
| Agent background context can reintroduce inactive stack assumptions. | Updated `project_context.md` and the root agent guide to label current stack facts versus future directions, then added exact stale-stack patterns for them to docs consistency checks. |
| Docs `?section=` validation can drift if the harness owns its own route/section table. | Changed the docs consistency check to derive section keys from `AdminRoutes.tsx` and `PlainResourcePages.tsx` resource configs before validating documented deep links. |
| Public Docs can drift between frontend catalog metadata and backend Gatekeeper authorization metadata. | Added a docs consistency check that compares filename, slug, group, order, and bilingual titles across both metadata sources; aligned existing order drift for toolbar overlay and location pipeline docs. |
| Non-public technical docs can silently become Chinese-only or English-only. | Added a full `docs/technical/{zh,en}` filename-pair check so every technical Markdown file has a same-named counterpart before docs consistency passes. |
| Credentialed collector docs can drift from backend support wiring. | Added docs consistency validation for every built-in collector marked `requires_credentials=true` and `credential_status=supported`: it must have a provider, default credential guide, supported connectivity provider, frontend credential UI/guidance, a regression test, and zh/en connectivity documentation. |
| Backend collectors can leak debug output or credential-adjacent context through stdout. | Replaced SpaceTrack and PeeringDB collector `print()` calls with structured logger events, removed unreachable duplicate SpaceTrack fetch code, and added `scripts/harness/backend-rules-check.sh` to block future backend app `print()`, `breakpoint()`, or `pdb.set_trace()` calls. |

## Rules Coverage Evidence

This matrix records how the current harness checks the `rules.md` modules that
matter for this frontend and documentation pass. "Automated" means the listed
command fails when the rule regresses. "Smoke" means the rendered product route
or interaction is opened with Playwright. "Manual" means the rule is still a
judgment call and must be inspected during review.

Before using this matrix, start from `rules.md`'s **Agent Discovery Index** when
the user describes work with Chinese/product terms instead of module names. The
index is the routing layer; this table is the coverage/evidence layer.

| `rules.md` Area | Rule Surface | Harness Evidence | Remaining Review |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `core` | Remove stale transitional paths, duplicated helpers, and naming drift after large changes. | `scripts/harness/docs-consistency-check.sh` blocks known stale stack terms, old `?tab=` links, public Docs metadata drift, and README/project context drift. `scripts/harness/frontend-rules-check.sh` blocks repeated detached AI/WebSearch connection-test buttons by requiring `ConnectionTestInput`. | Naming quality, function size, and whether a new abstraction is worth keeping remain manual review items. |
| `core` | Keep one source of truth for route, Docs, and section state. | Frontend route, admin manifest, admin search targets, Docs catalog metadata, backend Gatekeeper metadata, manual route tables, and documented `?section=` links are all parsed from source and compared by `frontend-rules-check.sh`, `docs-consistency-check.sh`, and `frontend-smoke.mjs`. | Business-state ownership inside feature components still needs focused review when behavior changes. |
| `security` | Do not commit secrets, tracked env files, private keys, or exposed tokens. | `scripts/harness/security-check.sh` fails on tracked `.env` / private-key files and high-confidence provider tokens. `backend-rules-check.sh` blocks backend stdout/debugger calls, and `frontend-rules-check.sh` fails frontend console output that includes token material. | Whether a newly added setting should be masked or stored server-side still requires feature-specific review. |
| `workflow` | Frontend package management must stay Bun-only. | `scripts/harness/doctor.sh` and `frontend-rules-check.sh` fail forbidden frontend lockfiles and `npm` / `pnpm` / `yarn` script usage. `validate.sh` uses Bun for install, build, preview, and smoke. | New dependency legitimacy and maintenance quality are manual unless a dependency is actually added. |
| `workflow` | Agents should find `bun` and `uv` even when non-interactive `PATH` is incomplete. | `scripts/harness/lib.sh` checks the current `PATH`, then asks `$SHELL`, `zsh`, and `bash` login interactive shells for the command path without hardcoding a dotfile. `doctor.sh`, `quick-check.sh`, and `validate.sh` all source it. | System package installation remains outside harness scope and should be reported instead of auto-fixed. |
| `docs` | Keep public Docs whitelist-driven and synchronized with backend authorization metadata. | `docs-consistency-check.sh` compares frontend Docs metadata against backend Gatekeeper metadata, verifies files exist for both languages, checks public link titles, and blocks missing zh/en technical doc pairs. `frontend-smoke.mjs` opens every Chinese Docs catalog slug plus detail/search/language/theme interactions. | Quality of prose, examples, and whether a doc should be public are still editorial review items. |
| `docs` | User manuals must match real console routes and deep links. | `docs-consistency-check.sh` compares manual console tables with `frontend/src/admin/routes/manifest.tsx` and validates documented `?section=` links from actual `AdminRoutes.tsx` plus `PlainResourcePages.tsx` section config. | Screenshots and UI-copy nuance are not exhaustively validated. |
| `uiux` | Admin pages are compact single-screen workspaces with explicit overflow ownership. | `frontend-rules-check.sh` fails missing admin shell height-chain declarations (`.admin-theme-root`, `.admin`, `.admin__sider`, `.admin__nav-scroll`, `.admin__account`, `.admin__content`, `.admin__content-inner`), warns on suspicious `overflow: hidden`, and blocks exact `100vh` / `100vw` shell sizing in admin/Docs CSS. `frontend-smoke.mjs` checks every admin route at desktop/mobile and verifies `.admin` equals viewport height, `#root`/document/body have no vertical overflow, and desktop sidebar account/preferences stay in the first viewport. Zoom passes still cover 125% / 150% rendering. | Visual density, hierarchy, and whether a scroll owner feels ergonomic remain manual QA. |
| `uiux` | Controls use expected patterns and accessible icon buttons. | `frontend-rules-check.sh` blocks icon `Button` without `aria-label` and `title`, native `<button>` without explicit `type`, nested Cards, AntD imports, `<Space>`, and detached connection-test buttons. Smoke exercises search, tabs, dialogs, data toggles, and connection-test actions. | Native buttons with visible text are not treated as icon-only by static checks; semantics still need review when adding custom controls. |
| `uiux` | Same-category visual surfaces should use one style system per product area. | `frontend-rules-check.sh` warns when semantic `badge`, `chip`, `pill`, `tag`, or `status` selectors appear outside approved shared React and Earth CSS owner files. `docs/HARNESS.md` also makes screenshots/images primary evidence for visual fixes and forbids guessing when an image path is unavailable. | Final visual cohesion across screenshots still needs human/Playwright review, especially for page-specific cards, panels, and toolbar controls that static selector checks cannot classify perfectly. |
| `uiux` | Text should fit, avoid viewport-scaled font sizes, and keep letter spacing at zero. | `frontend-rules-check.sh` fails viewport/container-width font-size units and non-zero `letter-spacing` / `letterSpacing`. `frontend-smoke.mjs` checks rendered routes for global overflow across desktop/mobile. | Per-element text clipping without page-level overflow is not exhaustively detected and needs visual review for changed screens. |
| `frontend` | Keep shared behavior in reusable components and existing project patterns. | `frontend-rules-check.sh` enforces shared `ConnectionTestInput`, route/link/search consistency, no debug output, native button safety, Tactile/Radix/lucide direction instead of AntD/Space, and whitelist-driven public Docs. `bun x tsc --noEmit` and `bun run build` verify TypeScript/build health. | Broad casts, inline styles, and overflow issues are warnings when context may be legitimate; review changed lines before accepting them. |
| `frontend` | Responsive adaptations must preserve the primary action path. | `frontend-smoke.mjs` clicks every visible admin menu entry on desktop and mobile, opens protected routes unauthenticated and authenticated, verifies root/unknown route fallback, and exercises core auth flows. | Deep feature workflows beyond smoke data, such as destructive or long-running actions, require targeted tests before behavior changes. |
| `earth` | Earth render work needs real rendering checks. | Full smoke opens `/earth` and verifies the `3D Earth` iframe entry point. Earth News settings routes are included through the admin manifest/menu smoke, mocked `/earth/news-*` API responses, source test, add/cancel source draft, and manual news group creation checks. The broader Earth-specific layer/depth rules remain in `rules.md` and Earth docs. | The harness still does not claim full 3D layer visual verification; layer-depth and picking changes need targeted browser/canvas QA. |
