class SimpleToolHarness:
    """Plan once, run the tools, answer once. Not an agent, by design.

    The default harness is a DSPy RLM agent: it reasons, acts, observes and
    loops.  That loop is what small models are worst at.  Each additional turn
    is another chance to emit malformed JSON, to forget the question, or to
    re-call a tool it has already called, and a 0.6B model asked to sustain a
    multi-turn contract usually fails somewhere in the middle where the failure
    is hardest to explain.

    This harness removes the loop.  Exactly two inferences happen, in a fixed
    order that cannot vary with the model's behaviour:

    1. **Plan.** The model sees the question and the tool manifest, and answers
       one question only: which of these tools do you want run, and with what
       arguments?  It cannot call a tool, only name one.
    2. **Execute.** The harness runs whatever it named, in order, through the
       same per-job broker, the same allowlist and the same limits the agent
       harness uses.  The model is not consulted while this happens.
    3. **Answer.** The model sees the question and the tool results, and writes
       the answer.  It has no further move available.

    A model that emits nothing usable at step 1 gets an empty plan, which is
    not a failure: the run proceeds straight to step 3 and answers from its own
    knowledge.  That is the honest degradation, and it is why this mode holds
    up on models that cannot sustain an agent loop at all.
