Description

Per the "How to Contribute" guidance (create an issue for missing papers), suggesting an addition.

**Section:** 3.3 Code Agents (next number, 123)

**Entry:**
123. **Harness Engineering**: "Harness Engineering for Language Agents: The Harness Layer as Control, Agency, and Runtime" [2026-03] [[paper](https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202603.1756/v2)]

**Why it fits:** It formalizes the **agent harness layer** — the runtime/control loop wrapping tool execution that powers coding agents (SWE-agent, OpenHands, etc.) — as **Control, Agency, and Runtime (CAR)**, audits 63 harness-relevant works, and proposes HarnessCard for reporting. Relevant to how code agents are built and evaluated.

Disclosure: I am an author. Happy to open a PR instead if you prefer. (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202603.1756)
