Adds a 'harness' category to /self-check (Task 12, self-check half) so the harness-
optimization gains can't silently regress. All read-only / non-invasive:
- VERSION marker present + not older than manifest.harness.min_version
- skill-registry description budget (sum of all SKILL.md description: fields under
registry_desc_budget_chars) -- the metric that catches Task 5 bloating back
- global deploy targets ~/.claude/skills + ~/.claude/commands populated (Mac-wipe failure)
- harness-guard.sh present + wired into sync.sh
- core scripts parse (bash -n on sync/guard/now-phoenix); now-phoenix.sh emits a valid date
Tunables in baseline/manifest.json 'harness' block. Verified 9/9 PASS; budget WARN
negative-tested at a synthetic over-budget value.

New /self-check skill: each machine probes its own ClaudeTools harness wiring
(identity.json paths, required tooling, settings.json hooks, skill/command/script
set, vault decrypt, coord/Gitea connectivity, Ollama capability tier) and grades
RED/AMBER/GREEN against a checked-in provisional baseline manifest.
- Capability-tier model: architectural/OS/hardware differences (e.g. no local
Ollama) select a fallback ruleset instead of failing.
- Duplicate detection: flags command/skill names that diverge between the repo
and ~/.claude (the "same /cmd, different behaviour" cross-machine bug);
CRLF-only diffs ignored.
- Memory check: index + orphan detection, plus a model-driven semantic pass for
memories that contradict identity/settings.
- V1 is a census tool: --publish writes a per-machine census to coord
(component selfcheck_<host>); fanout requests the fleet to self-check +
self-remediate + re-publish; aggregate derives the proposed baseline. No
machine ever fixes another.
Reviewed twice by the Code Review Agent; three CRITICAL coord-API bugs and the
CRLF false-WARN found and fixed, verified live against the coord API.
