From 73603d5d8bf049d151f3d0f56b5dddbb93f791d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elliot Taylor Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:11:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?Add=20real-platform=20personas=20and=20a=20pers?= =?UTF-8?q?onas=20=C3=97=20models=20matrix=20runner?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The field-test harness gains three personas built from the actual production system prompts of the platforms we onboard on — bolt.diy (from its repo), Lovable and Replit Assistant (from the public system-prompt collection) — with policy/environment sections kept verbatim and response-format machinery replaced by a harness bridge. Provenance, adaptation rule, and caveats are documented in field-test/README.md. matrix.mjs runs the personas × agent-CLI cross-product (claude, codex, gemini, plus a scripted stub for free plumbing self-tests), delegating each cell to run.mjs and aggregating scorecards into one table under field-test/results/matrix-/. Validated: stub self-test green across all three personas; live runs claude × bolt-diy and codex × replit both 8/8.
