Defines harness alignment — the continuous, human-gated activity of keeping an agent's harness aligned with the operator's evolving intent — and harness drift, its failure mode, against the software-evolution and alignment literatures; argues the three defining properties (continuous, human-gated, bidirectional) follow from a single root: intent, unlike correctness, cannot be automated the same way — an automated intent-check would freeze intent into a specification, reducing its automatable part to correctness work, and the moving criterion is the residue. Records a bibliographic bridge: audited 2026 drift coinages are severed from the classical software-evolution lineage, which harness drift reconnects by reference. Two-layer design: lean body for human readers, verified-verbatim footnotes as a density layer for LLM consumption. Scoped as provisional judgments from a months-old practice, offered as a position, not an empirical study."
