Research direction

Start by reviewing Raven's existing documentation and example conventions, then read the linked LongHorizon-Harness project and paper for the proposed workflow. Done means a small, repository-consistent note or example that explains the complementary direction without replacing Raven's existing agent or runtime.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi, I'd like to suggest a complementary direction for Raven.

Project:
https://github.com/AMAP-ML/LongHorizon-Harness

Your project focuses on an agent harness and orchestration layer.

LongHorizon-Harness focuses on carrying one task across many rounds without state drift. It keeps the goal and verified progress in durable state, starts each execution round with a fresh context, and uses an independent Auditor before accepting progress.

Why this may be useful here:

  • A short workflow note could show how to avoid context drift and premature completion in a task that spans many rounds.
  • it adds an outer task-lifecycle layer without claiming to replace the project's existing agent or runtime

If this direction fits, I can prepare a small documentation or example contribution following the repository's conventions.

I am part of the team behind LongHorizon-Harness, so I wanted to disclose that connection.
