Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Best-in-class SWE-bench Pro (69.2%) and code-reliability gains directly serve the conductor/reviewer role; cost and the parallel-subagent usage-burn risk are the material constraints and are manageable with existing guardrails
Next
Keep as primary for orchestration, code review, and high-stakes verification; set harness budget caps before enabling Dynamic Workflows; monitor rate-limit headroom via usage-checker before expensive sweeps
