Release-readiness umbrella check for a scaffolded harness — runs doctor, witness verify, hardcoded-path scan, MCP server config, and GCP Secret Manager validation in one shot. Exits non-zero if any sub-check fails.
Passed 18 of 21 test cases with the skill, and 7 of 21 without it.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Codex skill that runs the 5 release-readiness gates from
harness validate.
| # | Check | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | doctor | File shape + manifest sha256 + at-least-one host artifact |
| 2 | verify | Witness manifest signature (Ed25519) — skipped if no witness yet |
| 3 | path-guard | Scans your TS/JS/Rust files for hardcoded /tmp/, C:\, /Users/, /home/ — the original Windows /tmp bug regression class |
| 4 | mcp | .mcp/servers.json entries have name + command |
| 5 | secrets | gcloud auth list + project + NPM_TOKEN exist in GCP Secret Manager |
Each check reports PASS / FAIL / WARN with a one-line detail. Exits 1 if any FAIL.

Before iter 20, you needed to remember to run harness doctor, harness verify, harness secrets check, and node scripts/path-guard.mjs separately. This is the single release-readiness gate.
