Your Repo Is Half the Harness: Measuring What Makes an Agent Loop Converge

A 40-minute frontal talk on agent readiness, harness & loop engineering. The repo is part of the harness — the slice you own — and VALIDATE is the axis that decides whether it can host the verifier that makes a loop converge instead of vibe. Covers the four-axis model (INSTRUCT / NAVIGATE / VALIDATE / SECURE), the maturity scoring, a real before/after scan, the testing paradox as stop condition, SECURE as the boundary that lets you delegate — including LINCE.sh as a documented sandbox.
