ParetoSaddler optimizes an agent’s harness without changing its language model. It promotes candidates when repeated-run evidence supports progress in quality or cost, leaving deployment preferences until final selection. On ClawMark, its selected harness scored 81.35% ± 3.11 at $1.01 per task, versus 70.86% ± 2.29 and $1.17 for the default; evidence spans two benchmarks, not unrestricted deployment.
