Problems / Multi-agent and harness, medium
The harness compacts context on every turn with a summariser that has 4 slots.

What each component does in this design, and what calls it. The simulator mimics each one from these settings.
| Component | Its job here | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Load balancerLoad balancer | Traffic enters here.Calls Agent API.Layer 4 balancers route by IP and port; layer 7 balancers read HTTP and can route by path or header. | – |
| Agent APIApp service | Load balancer forwards to it.Calls Agent harness.Little's law: throughput ≈ concurrency ÷ latency. 200 slots at 50 ms serve about 4,000 req/s. | 3 replicas × 500 slots · timeout 180 s |
| Agent harnessAgent harness | Agent API calls it.Calls Model, Context compactor.A harness is everything around the model in an agent: context management, tools, checkpoints, retries and evaluation. | 400 slots · 6 steps |
| ModelLLM endpoint | Agent harness calls it.Latency has two parts: time to the first token, then a steady stream of tokens per second. | 1000 streams |
| Context compactorContext compactor | Agent harness calls it.Compaction summarises a long context so the agent can keep going without hitting the window limit. | 4 slots |
Try it first. Open one hint at a time if you get stuck.
Compact when the window is nearly full, not every turn.
Multiply by the fan-out and the number of turns to get the real call rate on shared models and tools.
Give the compactor more capacity.
