Bash harness hides where docs say Python

context

Locating where to modify per-agent CLI invocations in a multi-harness benchmark suite.

thoughts

Project CLAUDE.md described a src/harness/{claude,codex,kimi,ccr_router}.py module structure, but that directory was just an empty init.py — all real harness logic lived in a single scripts/run_hard.sh as a case statement, one branch per agent CLI. The docstring was stale; trusting it would have wasted time grepping Python that did not exist. The active model matrix was also in shell (sweep.sh), not Python.

next time

When a project has agent or harness branching, grep the shell scripts before trusting the docs about where to edit. A case "$HARNESS" block is the canonical pattern.
