Summary

  • Align roadmap wording so autonomous coding tools are described as runtimes, not harnesses.
  • Clarify the Familiars index around runtime primitives and harness adapters.
  • Tighten memory/model and concepts wording around the chamber/runtime vocabulary.

Validation

  • pnpm run build

Notes

This intentionally leaves the established harnesses/ docs and harness-adapter terminology alone.

Pull request overview

Aligns documentation vocabulary so autonomous coding tools are described as “runtimes,” and updates a few index/concepts pages to better match the chamber/runtime framing while keeping existing harness/harness-adapter docs intact.

Changes:

  • Updates the Roadmap “North Star” sentence to use “autonomous coding runtimes” instead of “harnesses”.
  • Adjusts Memory + Models boundary wording (runtime/chamber boundary phrasing).
  • Refines Familiars index copy to emphasize runtime primitives and harness adapters.

Memory is what turns a one-off harness session into a persistent familiar. Models are the provider side of that familiar's reasoning, but Coven does not become a model gateway. The durable runtime boundary is: Coven records sessions and events; clients/familiars derive memory from those events; harnesses own provider auth and model access.
