What you can tailor

The parts of the harness that follow how your business works: definitions of done, scopes, autonomy, brakes and approvals.

You set the rules the harness runs by. Each task carries your definition of done: a goal and acceptance criteria. Each lane runs inside a scope you set, with its own level of autonomy, and new behavior runs in shadow first with a decision date and a kill switch. You can brake one lane or the whole fleet. Approvals are sorted by reversibility, so an irreversible move such as an outbound message or a payment always waits for a person. Data is validated against explicit schema contracts before it lands. Connectors, deployment options and regions, and retention settings are not published here; ask the team.
