HomerandClaude Opus 5.5 d09d51cfec Harness spec 3.2.0: reasoning goes back during its turn; no absolute paths
context.md §8: every assistant message of the current turn (after the
last message that started a turn — a step-boundary delivery does not)
carries its reasoning back, as reasoning_content in OpenAI chat and as
thinking blocks in Anthropic; earlier turns carry none, which the common
templates render identically. §11: an agent session's prompt names no
absolute machine path: the environment block names the project and says
paths are relative to its root (loop.json context.env), files outside
the project under home as ~/…; relative paths resolve against the
project root, absolute ones still accepted. agents-missing.md and
init.md no longer name the root. New conformance areas: reasoning, paths.

"about": "What a request sends back of the model's reasoning (context.md §8, spec 3.2.0). `messages` is the history a request is built from, in order: `role` user, assistant or tool; `content`; an assistant message's stored `reasoning` (absent: it came with none); a user message's `turn` — false for a delivery at a step boundary (a job's note, a team message, words added to a running turn), which does not start a turn; absent or true for one that does (the person's, or a machine message starting a turn of its own). The answer is the messages as the OpenAI chat dialect sends them — `role`, `content`, and `reasoning_content` on an assistant message after the last user message that started a turn, when its reasoning is not empty (tool calls and ids are left out of the cases: they are sent as always). The Anthropic dialect sends the same messages' thinking blocks. LLeMbas: services/llm/openai_client.py, services/generation.py; CLI: provider/openai-chat.ts, session/engine.ts.",
