摘要
Large language model (LLM) agents interact with their environments through executable harnesses that govern tool use and feedback. Optimizing a harness for a fixed policy overlooks how its behavior changes during learning, while training a policy under a fixed harness leaves the interface that generates its training experience unchanged. This motivates adapting the harness throughout policy training. We introduce CoHARL, a population-based reinforcement learning framework that co-evolves a shared policy and a population of executable harnesses. The policy learns from rollouts across the population, and a proposer uses its execution traces to revise harness code during training. CoHARL achieves a 27.6% mean resolved rate on SWE-rebench, improving over harness-only search by 6.4 percentage points. Experiments on SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench 2.0 show gains in software engineering and terminal-based tasks. Under matched training budgets, CoHARL also outperforms searching for a harness once before RL and alternating policy updates with revisions to a single active harness.
