Check item by item after framework construction is complete. All must be ✓ before delivery. When bash is available, optionally run verify-harness.sh; otherwise Agent self-checks with Glob/Read.

- session-end contains "update progress.md + archive + produce outbound handoff"
- session-end contains one-way write isolation declaration (when handoff enabled)
- Each domain skill ≤300 lines (check if Reference/ split needed when exceeded)
- All SKILL.md frontmatter only name + description (no triggers/reads/writes/quality_gates/max_iterations/metadata)
- All SKILL.md name matches directory name

- .gitattributes forces *.sh to LF
- .gitattributes forces .harness/hooks/** to LF (when hooks exist)
- Shell scripts contain CRLF self-repair logic (detect \r at start)
- No SKILL.md core process depends on bash-specific syntax (all have Agent-tool alternatives)
- .harness/FEATURES.md exists (task status tables only, no skill/workflow build progress tables)
- .harness/VERSION exists
- .harness/.gitignore ignores runtime files (progress.md/state.yaml/iterations.log, etc.)
