Expand description

Run mode — how an eval is dispatched, independent of which harness runs it.

There are two dispatch mechanisms in the code today:

  • DispatchMechanism::InSession — the runner hands tasks to in-session subagents (Claude Code’s Task tool). The reference is Claude Code.
  • DispatchMechanism::Cli — each task is dispatched through a one-shot harness CLI subprocess (codex exec). The reference is Codex.

These two mechanisms underpin the three user-facing run modes documented in the README: fully-interactive rides on InSession; headless and hybrid both ride on Cli, differing only in whether a human/agent session drives the loop — not in how a single task reaches the harness.

This is distinct from the comparison Mode (new-skill / revision), which selects the two conditions being compared, not the dispatch path.

Structs§

HarnessRunCapabilities
Run-option support for a harness’s currently wired dispatch mechanism.

Enums§

DispatchMechanism
How a single dispatch is delivered to a harness. The primary code axis for run-mode concerns (next-steps guidance, transcript source).

Functions§

capabilities_for
The focused capability table for generic run option validation.
mechanism_for
The dispatch mechanism a harness uses today. This is the single, documented place where the current 1:1 harness↔mechanism coupling lives — when a harness gains a second mechanism (e.g. a true headless Claude Code mode), the choice stops being derivable from the harness alone and this is the seam that grows to take an explicit selection.
