Reason: a symlinked script resolves its own directory to ~/.local/bin and cannot find sibling modules. Each wrapper is a two-line script execing the real script inside the repo checkout. + +Python entrypoint for `office`: options --project (adopt existing Paperclip project), --new (create Paperclip project), --host (folder lives on remote machine; run_on_remote), --dry (print intended actions, write nothing), --no-switch, --session, --remote. Behaviour: resolves folder, refuses if not a dir; reuses existing project session from .harness/harness.toml or defaults to basename(folder); ensures the session exists and switches before writing; writes /.harness/harness.toml; builds eight panes in the session. + +Previous project's three wrappers were moved (not deleted) to ~/.local/bin/.old-harness/ for comparison. + +## Detailed context from completed turn + +Both done, and the rebuild failure is fixed. + +## The commands are now plain commands + +`office`, `board`, `merge`, `review`, `triage`, `project-reset` are on your path.
