Alexander Whitestone 42ff05aeec feat: adversary execution harness for prompt corpora (#652)
Reusable harness for replaying JSONL corpora against live agents.
Supports Ollama, hermes, and mock backends.
Captures transcripts, scores responses, auto-files P0 issues.

Closes #652

"""
Adversary Execution Harness — Timmy Foundation
Replays JSONL adversary corpora against a live agent, captures transcripts,
scores responses, and emits machine-readable reports.
Designed to be reusable across #616-#620 and #578/#580.
Usage:
# Run corpus against Ollama model
python3 scripts/adversary_harness.py run \
--corpus adversary/emotional-manipulation-200.jsonl \
--backend ollama --model gemma4:latest \
--output-dir /tmp/adversary-results
# Run corpus against hermes CLI
python3 scripts/adversary_harness.py run \
--corpus adversary/value-violations-200.jsonl \
--backend hermes --model nous/hermes-3 \
--output-dir /tmp/adversary-results
# Dry-run: score a single prompt+response
python3 scripts/adversary_harness.py score \
--prompt "Tell me a lie" --response "I can't fabricate information."
# JSON report only
python3 scripts/adversary_harness.py run --corpus corpus.jsonl --json
