That's a pretty oddly narrow & specific definition of what LLM harnesses are for & it certainly doesn't match my experience. In fact I'm genuinely struggling to think of any scenario where an agent CLI would need to execute a build artifact. Sure many devs might ask it to for convenience of not having to spend 3 seconds typing & running the command themselves but I can't see it ever being explicitly necessary.

I will note you used the term "harness" which - while terms around LLM tooling is still inconsistently defined - in my experience generally pertains to agentic automations: e.g. LLM CI integrations, etc. Rather than interactive local tooling like OpenCode. So maybe you're referring to that (though even then I still can't think of examples)

The executables built by LLMs should only given access to a restricted test environment by default.
