GitHarness pairs each requirement with a recoverable work checkpoint, then selects a compatible historical version before resuming a task-native executor. On StackPlanner and DeepSeek-V4-Flash SWE-bench Verified code tasks, removing historical version selection reduced resolved rate from 74.0 to 44.0 and increased average token use from 1,291.4K to 4,513.5K. These results are from benchmark tasks, not real-world deployments.
