Verify Smarter, Evolve Further: Efficient Harness Evolution through Behavior-Aware Verification

The paper introduces HarnessLens, a budget‑aware framework that evolves language‑model agent harnesses by jointly exploring task spaces and user‑configurable components. It derives candidate modifications from execution trajectories and selectively verifies them on behavior‑relevant tasks using an attributable‑evidence gate, thereby avoiding wasteful rollouts on unrelated behaviors. Experiments on three harnesses and four benchmarks show that HarnessLens improves held‑out performance by 7.6‑13.6% while using less evaluation budget than existing methods.
