crowdsourced runner
Sloba's chat directive 2026-05-06: "this project is preparation for
going public ... ship the harness along so others can join in."
The repo's original purpose (Ben's catalogue + 21 reference run
ledgers, shipped 2026-05-05) stays intact. This commit ADDS a second
purpose: a portable harness + agent runbook so a friend's coding agent
can clone, read CLAUDE.md, run the same suite on the friend's hardware,
and submit results back as a PR.
What landed:
CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md (byte-identical, ~520 lines)
Full agent runbook: hardware probe, runtime + model selection,
canonical knob reference (Sloba's Pavilion methodology values),
hardware-adaptation decision rules, run-instructions, output-schema
templates for hardware.json + metadata.json + run.md, PR submission
flow (fork → branch → push → PR; nothing auto-merges), privacy
guardrails, methodology lineage. Per Sloba's Q3 directive: the
runbook explicitly tells the friend's agent to ADAPT to hardware
reality and document deviations rather than blindly run defaults.
CONTRIBUTING.md (~110 lines)
Human-readable companion for the friend (not the agent). What you
need, how it works, what we ask, what maintainers commit to,
license, code-of-conduct short version.

├── README.md Technical readme for the harness folder
├── run_benchmark.py ~520 LOC runner. Stdlib-only. Adapted from
│ WeeyugaWeb/scripts/benchmarks/run_pavilion_weeyuga.py
│ v3 with the cluster-internal IP defaults
│ (10.8.0.x) replaced by 127.0.0.1:11434, the
│ cluster /v1/cluster/* endpoints removed, the
│ canonical-suite paths under ~/Documents/MyServers
│ replaced by harness/suites/ paths, the git-sha
│ enforcement on WeeyugaWeb dropped, and the
│ output written under submissions/<handle>/<tag>/
│ instead of docs/BENCHMARKS/runs/. Supports all
│ six suite phases via --phases, plus 'all'.
├── prompts.py Verbatim copy of the canonical 3 frozen prompts

└── suites/ Six bundled JSON suites copied verbatim from
Sloba's MyServers/instances/vps-81-17-99-14/telemetry/:

Synthetic-but-shape-complete contribution template:
manifest.json, hardware.json, run.jsonl (5 example lines),
metadata.json, run.md (with privacy attestation, methodology
deviations, reproducibility command). Marked as synthetic at
the top so future analysis doesn't accidentally cite it.

README.md (modified)
Updated to reflect dual purpose. Layout diagram updated.
Maintainer credits: Ben for catalogue/methodology + Bane for harness.
Contributor quick-start added. Status table extended.
Privacy posture:
- All 6 suite JSON files privacy-scanned for cluster IPs / hostnames /
paths / tokens. Two prompts contain project names ("MyBoard" auth
debugging in 20Q-Q14, generic SSH troubleshooting in 5Q-Q03);
flagged in chat for Sloba's review. Otherwise clean.
- run_benchmark.py default target_url is 127.0.0.1:11434 (no internal
IPs leaked).
- manifest.json captures host_hostname_short via socket.gethostname()
.split('.')[0] — agent should review before PR if hostname is
sensitive.
- CLAUDE.md §8 spells out the privacy-grep before push.
Verification:
- py_compile run_benchmark.py: OK
- --help renders cleanly
- All 6 suite JSON files: valid
- All 4 example JSON files: valid
- Example run.jsonl (5 lines): valid
This commit lands on branch feature/runner-and-agent-instructions.
NOT pushed to main; staying on the feature branch until Sloba reviews
on Gitea and merges. Bus dispatch to Ben + Sam announcing the
architectural pivot lives in the WeeyugaWeb coordination repo.
