harness-safe-exhaust-probe-qs

A proposal for extending DSH’s observability to cover positive-interaction exhaustion patterns in long-horizon agent runs. Focuses on the gap between monotonic safety guards and high-context-density, low-adversary interactions under workspace-write mode. No exploit code; only plugin spec & discussion hooks.

A proposal for extending DSH's observability to cover positive-interaction exhaustion patterns in long-horizon agent runs.

What This Is

This repository proposes a Cordis plugin specification (not exploit code) to observe how monotonic safety guards behave under high-context-density, low-adversary interactions in workspace-write mode.

Current Harness safety mechanisms excel at blocking malicious instructions and permission escalation. But what happens when an agent engages in prolonged,善意(benign-intent), non-confrontational dialogue that gradually shifts context boundaries? Does the monotonic guard still correctly identify "unexpected pattern drift"? Can existing Session Log audit trails support post-hoc attribution for such phenomena?

This is not a bug report against DeepSeek. It is a shared engineering challenge for the entire Agent Runtime category.

Proposed Plugin Spec (Draft)

• Input: Benign conversation streams injected via standard dsh-plugin interface
• Observation Points: Hook into Harness append-only session log; extract token consumption rate, self-referential output frequency, sub-agent dispatch density
• Output: JSONL compatible with Harness Trajectory viewer, importable into official debugger for replay

Why This Matters

• Transforms "soft-signal drift" into engineer-verifiable question
• Aligns with Harness plugin paradigm — no wheel reinventing needed
• All observation uses Harness-native observability interfaces — zero bypass, zero cracking

Status

🌱 Proposal stage. No executable code yet. Seeking community co-building on spec refinement.
