Agent context is a dependency of each run: bind shared instructions to concrete versions in a per-run record, and because no linker composes prose, record every conflict outcome and refuse what cannot be classified.
Long-running agent work should continue through a validated handoff and an addressable predecessor, rather than depending on a compacted conversation as its only memory.

OutctlA tool that captures a command's full output outside the agent's context and returns a bounded projection the agent can query later for the omitted evidence. began as an answer to tool results flooding model context. Programmatic tool calling now moves that work into the harness, invalidating the original product boundary while leaving a narrower durable-evidence question open.
OutctlA tool that captures a command's full output outside the agent's context and returns a bounded projection the agent can query later for the omitted evidence. cut model-visible Kubernetes output by about 84%, while pair-level cost and diagnostic quality remained unresolved. The useful result was a four-part evaluation model: mechanism, quality, economics, and authority.
