Run the minimum current-Claude compatibility canary for hermitd by driving real interactive Claude Code instances in tmux with --plugin-dir. Use before a core release or after a Claude Code upgrade to verify cached model switching, unattended prompt safety, and native Monitor/Cron routine lifecycle. Core only; not application testing or CI.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Claude Harness Canary Run all three groups serially against the currently installed Claude Code. Take no arguments and do not offer group selectors. Target 5–8 minutes, but preserve bounded waits and evidence over that estimate. Keep this canary core-only, current-Claude-only, interactive-tmux-only, and loaded through `--plugin-dir`. Never add it to CI, release commands, or `$pre-release-review`. ## Shared probe prerequisite Reuse the installed `$probe` lifecycle. Before creating canary state, read its active `SKILL.md` and require all of these properties: - real interactive Claude in tmux, never `claude -p`, Codex, or another PTY; - no interactive `--no-session-persistence`; - `tmux pipe-pane` starts before any input; - one bounded readiness phase that detects the trust dialog, accepts it only when present, handles only explicitly recognized startup onboarding, and waits for the normal prompt; - a unique output-only completion nonce whose complete value is never contiguous in the injected prompt; - completion accepted only from assistant output after the requested evidence, never prompt echo; - one bounded wait per canary action; …

How to install
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/claude-harness-canary@sha256:56b10d3052703d74The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2f2da1b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
