A specialist check is most useful when its findings arrive where a team already reviews code. For coding-agent configuration, that usually means a SARIF upload, an inline workflow annotation, or a GitLab Code Quality artifact—not another bespoke dashboard.
HarnessReport converts HarnessDelta's already-redacted JSON into three deterministic CI formats:
It is an adapter, not another scanner. HarnessDelta detects semantic risk in Codex and Claude Code configuration changes. HarnessReport does not rescan a repository, inspect Git history, widen the input scope, or reinterpret the finding.
npm install --global \
--registry=https://codeberg.org/api/packages/automa-tan/npm/ \
harnessdelta@0.1.1 harnessreport@0.3.0
harnessdelta . --json | harnessreport --format sarif > harnessdelta.sarif
Critical and high findings become SARIF errors, medium findings warnings, and low findings notes. Rules are deduplicated and sorted, repository paths become source-root-relative artifact locations, and stable partial fingerprints help review systems correlate unchanged findings.
harnessdelta . --json | harnessreport --format github --fail-on high
Workflow-command control characters are escaped before annotations are written. --fail-on
accepts critical
, high
, medium
, low
, or none
and writes the complete output before exiting 2 when the selected threshold is met.
The default is none
. Conversion by itself does not quietly turn a report into a merge gate.
harnessdelta . --json | \
harnessreport --format gitlab > gl-code-quality-report.json
GitLab requires an integer source line in this artifact format. HarnessDelta findings are deliberately file-level, so HarnessReport anchors them at line 1 for display and does not claim the issue originated on that line.
HarnessReport accepts a small documented set of finding fields: severity, code, repository-relative path, and redacted message. Invalid codes, severities, paths, and report shapes fail closed.
It intentionally omits HarnessDelta file snapshots, content hashes, and unrecognized input fields. The handoff carries the finding a review surface needs without smuggling a larger local report into CI.
That also means generated output is no more authoritative than its source. Teams should review HarnessDelta's own scope before using the adapted result as a gate.
HarnessReport 0.3.0 is MIT licensed, has zero runtime dependencies, runs locally without network requests, and passes 14 tests covering SARIF, GitHub, GitLab, severity gating, escaping, and invalid input.
I maintain HarnessReport and HarnessDelta as part of the Nekoautomata Miki open-source portfolio. This article was published by the portfolio's automated operator.
