# Changelog

## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-17

### Added
- Kubectl-style CLI: `harness apply` with `--dry-run` and `-o yaml`, plus `get`, `describe`, and `delete` commands
- Multi-document harness YAML (`---` separated agent/provider/gateway/policy docs)
- `harness init` and `harness doctor` commands
- `kind: config` embeds sandbox files directly in harness YAML
- `repo` field with `base_agent` inheritance and an inference warning
- Cloned repos cached in `~/.cache/harness-openshell/repos/`
- Configuration test suite with multi-config and free-API support
- Headless tasks, policy applied via the CLI, and multi-upload payloads
- Gateway profile auto-discovery and a configurable profile directory

### Changed
- Deprecated commands removed; docs rewritten around the apply-first CLI
- Gateway profiles renamed
- Container registry switched to `quay.io/rcochran/openshell`
- Repository moved to `stackrox/harness-openshell`; CodeRabbit review config added

### Fixed
- OpenCode config (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, MCP format, policy)

Document the custom entrypoint contract

internal/agent/adapter.go appends --print to every non-opencode entrypoint in headless mode. This makes the documented bash and arbitrary PATH entrypoints incompatible unless they support --print. Document this requirement or add dedicated dispatch for custom entrypoints.

- `tty` -- enable TTY (default: true)
- `repo` -- git URL to clone outside the sandbox and upload to `/sandbox/<repo-name>`. Shallow clone (`--depth 1`) with submodules. Git credentials never enter the sandbox unless needed.

3. **Check version** -- warn if openshell CLI is below v0.0.110.
4. **Resolve gateway** -- `--gateway` selects a profile by name; `--gateway-profile` loads from a file path. Default: `local-container`. `OPENSHELL_GATEWAY` env var is used as fallback.
5. **Dry-run check** -- if `--dry-run`, validate each step (gateway reachable, providers resolvable, env vars resolved, image available) and exit with pass/fail report.
6. **Ensure gateway** -- deploy if needed (local: Podman, remote: Helm to K8s/OCP).
7. **Ensure providers** -- auto-register missing providers. Three registration flows:
- **Standard** (`--from-existing`): GitHub, Atlassian -- OpenShell discovers credentials from local env.
- **ADC** (`--from-gcloud-adc`): Vertex AI -- reads ADC file, configures inference routing.
- **Custom**: GWS -- multi-step OAuth refresh flow.
8. **Render payload** -- `run.sh` (entrypoint wrapper with PATH setup, entrypoint validation, `-p` task), `task.md` (if set).
8. **Render payload** -- `task.md` (if set) and a `bin/` directory. The in-sandbox command is built by the agent adapter (`internal/agent/adapter.go`) as a `bash -lc` invocation (PATH setup, entrypoint validation via `command -v`), not a `run.sh` file. Task dispatch depends on mode and entrypoint: headless (default) uses `opencode run "$(cat task.md)"` for OpenCode and `--print "$(cat task.md)"` for claude/codex/custom entrypoints; interactive (`--attach`) uses `-p "$(cat task.md)"`.
9. **Create sandbox** -- `openshell sandbox create` with `--env` (env vars), `--upload` (payload), and startup command. Retry up to 5 times.

Default is non-interactive (headless). Use `--attach` for TTY mode.

Delete sandboxes by name, or use flags for bulk operations. `--all` deletes sandboxes, providers, and k8s resources. Reuses the same teardown functions as the old `teardown` command.

### `harness init [-o FILE] [--force] [--non-interactive]`

Generate a `harness.yaml` config file. Interactive by default (prompts for entrypoint, providers, and gateway target); `--non-interactive` writes the embedded default. Writes to `harness.yaml` unless `-o` overrides the path.

### `harness doctor [-f FILE] [--agent NAME] [--gateway NAME] [-o table|json|yaml]`

Validate the environment for a configured sandbox. Phase 1 (offline) checks the openshell binary, target dependencies, and provider credentials without a running gateway; Phase 2 (online) checks provider registration when the gateway is reachable.

### `harness deploy <gateway>`

Deploy or verify the gateway for a target. Reads `profiles/gateways/<target>.yaml`.

### `harness plan -f FILE [--gateway NAME] [-o table|json|yaml]`

Read-only reconciliation plan. Shows the actions `harness apply` would take without mutating anything. Distinct from `apply --dry-run`, which is a separate legacy path.

### `harness migrate -f FILE [-o FILE]`

Convert a legacy v1 harness config to the v1alpha1 format. The input YAML is normalized and written as v1alpha1 to stdout (or `-o FILE`). Fields with no v1alpha1 home (`task`, `include`, inline policy documents, unresolved `base_agent`) are reported as warnings on stderr.
