CrazyBoyM a9c71002d2 the model is the agent, the code is the harness
Comprehensive rewrite establishing the harness engineering narrative
across the entire repository.

README (EN/ZH/JA): added "The Model IS the Agent" manifesto with
historical proof (DQN, OpenAI Five, AlphaStar, Tencent Jueyu),
"What an Agent Is NOT" critique, harness engineer role definition,
"Why Claude Code" as masterclass in harness design, and universe
vision. Consistent framing: model = driver, harness = vehicle.

docs (36 files, 3 languages): injected one-line "Harness layer"
callout after the motto in every session document (s01-s12).

agents (13 Python files): added harness framing comment before
each module docstring.

skills/agent-philosophy.md: full rewrite aligned with harness
narrative.

s03_todo_write.py - TodoWrite
The model tracks its own progress via a TodoManager. A nag reminder
forces it to keep updating when it forgets.
