Possible complementary direction: LongHorizon-Harness for sustained agent tasks

Hi, I'd like to suggest a complementary direction for ponytail.

Project: https://github.com/AMAP-ML/LongHorizon-Harness

Your project focuses on tooling around Claude Code, Codex, and related agent setups.

LongHorizon-Harness focuses on carrying one task across many rounds without state drift. It keeps the goal and verified progress in durable state, starts each execution round with a fresh context, and uses an independent Auditor before accepting progress.

Why this may be useful here:

• A concise lifecycle mapping could compare its existing concepts with Manager, fresh-context Executor, independent Auditor, and durable verified state.
• it adds an outer task-lifecycle layer without claiming to replace the project's existing agent or runtime

If this direction fits, I can prepare a small documentation or example contribution following the repository's conventions.

I am part of the team behind LongHorizon-Harness, so I wanted to disclose that connection.
