+# SCCFM agent harness CLI reference
+
+Every flag accepted by `poetry run sccfm-agent-harness`, and when to reach for it.
+See [README.md](README.md) for what the harness evaluates, the report format, and
+how Claude provider credentials are isolated.
+
+The CLI has three subcommands: `validate`, `run`, and `dashboard`. Only `run`
+invokes a model.
+
+## `run`
+
+### Selecting what executes
+
+| Flag | Default | When to use |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--agent {codex,claude}` | `codex` | Pick the model provider. Claude works with Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and API-key logins from environment variables; it runs a credential-isolation preflight before the first fixture. |
+| `--mode {explicit-skill,installed-plugin}` | `explicit-skill` | `explicit-skill` isolates instruction quality: user configuration is off and the session is told which `SKILL.md` to read. `installed-plugin` exercises packaging, skill discovery, and hooks. |
+| `--fixture ID` | every matching fixture | Repeatable. Use it while iterating on one skill. Unknown ids fail fast. |
+| `--tier {required,aspirational,all}` | `required` | `required` is the merge gate. `aspirational` is stretch behavior that should not block merges. `all` runs both. |
+| `--fixtures PATH` | `agent-harness/fixtures` | Only to point at a fixture set outside this checkout. |
+| `--samples N` | `1` | Measures non-determinism. One model call per fixture per sample. |
+| `--model NAME` | the provider default | Pin it in CI so baseline changes are attributable to a known model. |
+
+`--fixture`, `--tier`, and `--mode` intersect. A fixture that does not declare the
+selected mode is skipped, and a selection that matches nothing fails with
+`no fixtures matched the selection` rather than reporting a vacuous pass.
+
+Sample-count guidance: use one to three for a pull-request gate, 10–20 for
+scheduled critical-fixture runs, and 35 clean valid samples when you need a 95%
+lower bound near 90%. Raise it on targeted fixtures instead of multiplying the
+whole suite.
+
+Model naming is provider-specific. Bedrock model ids carry a region prefix, so an
+`eu-west-1` profile needs `eu.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5` rather than the `us.`
+form.
+
+### Controlling the run
+
+| Flag | Default | When to use |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--dry-run` | off | Prints the exact agent invocation per fixture and makes no model call. Use it to inspect flags after changing command construction. It also skips the Claude preflight. |
+| `--timeout SECONDS` | `300` | Raise it for Ansible fixtures, which run many commands; 420 is comfortable. The same value bounds the Claude credential-isolation preflight. Must be at least 1. |
+| `--runtime-retries N` | `1` | Retries provider exits and timeouts only. Assertion, safety, and harness-integrity failures are never retried. Recovered samples retain the prior runtime error and attempt count in `results.json`. |
+| `--output DIR` | `agent-harness/results/<UTC timestamp>` | Point reports at a specific directory, for example a CI artifact path. |
+| `--strict-quality` | off | Promotes quality-only failures into the process exit gate. Use it when deliberately improving answer quality; leave it off for normal gating, where quality failures are warnings. |
+
+### Baselines
+
+| Flag | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `--write-baseline PATH` | Snapshot a reviewed run as the reference. Do it deliberately, with several samples, after reading the results. |
+| `--compare-baseline PATH` | Fail on pass-rate regressions against that snapshot. This is the CI gate. |
+
+`--compare-baseline` compares observed valid-sample pass rates; it does not gate on
+Wilson confidence bounds. Both baseline operations require `--model`. Reports
+record a comparison fingerprint containing agent, exact agent version, model,
+mode, selected-fixture digest, and plugin-source digest. Comparison refuses a
+baseline with a different or missing fingerprint. A Codex baseline says nothing
+about a Claude run.
+
+### Codex-only flags
+
+| Flag | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `--refresh-installed-plugin` | Requires `--mode installed-plugin` and `--agent codex`. Codex hashes the checkout against the installed plugin cache and fails on a stale one; this adds a local cachebuster and reinstalls from the existing local marketplace. Claude rejects the flag because it loads a staged copy of the checkout directly with `--plugin-dir`. |
+| `--bypass-hook-trust` | Skips Codex hook trust. Keep it off for normal installed-plugin runs, because hook trust is part of the installed experience. Use it only in a separately isolated diagnostic job. Claude rejects the flag. |
+
+## `validate`
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness validate [--fixtures PATH]
+```
+
+Checks fixture schemas, the stub dispatcher, every skill file a fixture references,
+and the plugin manifest. No model call and no network. Run it before a real run and
+as a cheap CI pre-gate.
+
+## `dashboard`
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness dashboard RESULTS.json [--fixtures PATH] [--output PATH]
+```
+
+Re-renders the HTML dashboard from an existing JSON report without spending model
+calls. Use it after changing the dashboard template, or to review an older run.
+`--output` defaults to the JSON path with an `.html` suffix. `--fixtures` supplies
+the fixture metadata used to enrich reports written by an older harness version.
+
+## Typical invocations
+
+Fast static pre-check:
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness validate
+```
+
+Iterating on one skill with Claude:
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness run \
+  --agent claude \
+  --mode explicit-skill \
+  --fixture cli-readonly-list
+```
+
+Pull-request gate:
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness run \
+  --agent claude \
+  --mode explicit-skill \
+  --tier required \
+  --samples 3 \
+  --model eu.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5 \
+  --compare-baseline agent-harness/baselines/explicit-skill-claude.json
+```
+
+Reliability measurement on one critical fixture:
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness run \
+  --agent claude \
+  --mode explicit-skill \
+  --fixture cli-mutation-confirmation \
+  --samples 20 \
+  --timeout 420
+```
+
+Inspecting an invocation without calling a model:
+
+```bash
+poetry run sccfm-agent-harness run --agent claude --dry-run
+```
+
+## Exit codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|---:|---|
+| `0` | Every selected sample passed the configured gate. |
+| `1` | Sample failures or baseline regressions. |
+| `2` | Usage or setup error, including an unknown fixture id, an empty selection, a stale Codex plugin, or a failed Claude credential-isolation preflight. Setup errors abort before any fixture runs. |

+This harness evaluates the SCCFM plugin with real Codex or Claude Code model
+sessions and deterministic fake SCCFM/Ansible data. It never needs a customer

 The two modes answer different questions:
 
 - `explicit-skill` (Phase 1) disables user configuration and tells the session
   which repository `SKILL.md` to follow. Use it to isolate instruction quality.
-- `installed-plugin` (Phase 2) uses the locally installed
-  `sccfm@sccfm-devkit` plugin and relies on normal skill selection. Use it to
-  test packaging, discovery, and hooks as the user experiences them.
-
-Both modes create a temporary home and writable disposable workspace, remove
-SCCFM/AWS/Ansible credentials from the subprocess environment, and put

+- `installed-plugin` (Phase 2) relies on normal skill selection and exercises
+  plugin packaging, discovery, and hooks. Codex uses the locally installed
+  `sccfm@sccfm-devkit` plugin. Claude loads a disposable staged copy of the
+  current checkout with `--plugin-dir`, which guarantees that the run tests the
+  current source rather than a stale Claude plugin cache.
+
+Both modes create a temporary home and writable disposable workspace, keep
+customer SCCFM, Ansible, and CDO credentials out of the subprocess environment,
+and put deterministic command doubles first on `PATH`. Agent network access
+remains restricted. The model call is real; SCCFM and Ansible data are fake. The doubles
 write a private structured event log so scoring uses commands that actually ran,
 not guesses based on shell syntax. The harness also provides fake companion
 Ansible binaries under the temporary home when a fixture selects that layout,
 and narrowly intercepts `setup_runtime.py` while delegating all other Python
 commands to the real interpreter.
 
+Because a double must exist on `PATH` to intercept a command safely, finding its
+executable is not evidence that the corresponding product is installed in the
+fixture. Setup state comes from the documented CLI and setup-helper responses.
+Agents are instructed not to inspect double locations with `which -a`, `file`,
+`readlink`, `ls`, or similar filesystem probes; direct and indirectly resolved
+inspection attempts make the sample harness-invalid.
+
 Any SCCFM, Ansible, or setup-helper invocation that does not match a structured
 event from the doubles is classified as `HARNESS INVALID`. Invalid samples fail
-the harness job but are excluded from agent reliability percentages.

+## Claude provider credentials
+
+Claude supports every login it normally does, including Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry,
+and API keys that live in environment variables. The parent Claude process keeps
+those variables; the evaluated session does not get them:
+
+- `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB=1` is set explicitly, so Claude removes
+  provider credentials from every Bash command, hook, and stdio MCP server it
+  spawns. The harness never relies on Claude's CI default for this.
+- The disposable `HOME` and `ZDOTDIR` are load-bearing. Without them the host
+  shell startup files, including `.zshenv` which zsh reads on every invocation,
+  would re-export the credentials that Claude just scrubbed.
+- Environment scrubbing cannot protect credential *files*, so the run also stages
+  a settings file that denies `~/.aws`, `~/.claude`, `~/.ssh`, and similar host
+  credential stores to both the Read tool and, through the OS sandbox, to Bash.
+- That sandbox is required, not best effort: the staged settings fail the session
+  at startup if the platform cannot start a sandbox, and they make the
+  `dangerouslyDisableSandbox` request parameter inert rather than trusting
+  `--restricted` alone to reject it.
+- The sandbox also protects the harness from the session it evaluates. Only the
+  disposable workspace and the single event-log file are writable, so an
+  evaluated command cannot rewrite the command doubles or the staged settings.
+  Appending to the event log stays possible because the doubles run inside that
+  sandbox, so treat forged events as the residual risk this layer does not cover;
+  the escaped-command and inspection assertions exist to catch it.
+- Customer SCCFM, Ansible, and CDO credentials are still stripped for both
+  agents; only the provider variables Claude needs to authenticate are kept.
+
+Every Claude run starts with a credential-isolation preflight that launches a
+real Claude session and has a hook subprocess of that session confirm each
+credential variable is absent. The preflight, the event log, the assertions, and
+the reports all record variable *names* only, never values, and the run aborts
+before any fixture executes if the check does not hold. Codex has no equivalent
+scrub, so its environment stays completely credential free.
+
+Scoring runs on the raw transcript, and every string that survives into a report
+is then redacted, so a preserved credential value cannot reach `results.json`,
+`results.md`, or `results.html` even if it appeared in agent output or a provider
+error. Redaction happens after scoring and replaces opaque values only, so it
+cannot change a verdict.
+
+Each sample then reasserts the same property from inside the real run: the
+command doubles report which credential variables their own process could read,
+and `harness-credential-isolation` fails the sample if any were visible.
+`harness-credential-paths` fails the safety channel if the agent referenced a
+host credential store by path.
