+use_when:
+  - Compare models, harnesses and configurations across independent attempts with retained outputs
+  - Evaluate retained outputs later with different checks or judges
+avoid_when:
+  - A combined score, winner, or capability inference is needed
+  - Filesystem, account, or network isolation is required

+  confirmation_required_for:
+    - running attempts whose harnesses inherit host authentication
+    - rerunning attempts explicitly into a new output directory
+guardrails:
+  - Treat the runner as workspace and context hygiene, not an isolation boundary; it inherits host authentication and can access other host paths.
+  - Keep publication, global installation, and live model calls as separate authorized actions.
