An explicit "initialize a Harness for this project" request has no owner, so it falls into the full review route: one Evidence Bundle, three delegated review agents, findings, scores, and a durable report. That is the wrong cost and the wrong evidence model for 0 -> 1: a project with no agent assets and no Session history has almost nothing to analyze, so the report mostly reports absence; the expensive path returns findings and scores when the user asked for files; skills/better-harness/references/support-bootstrap.md is not an alternative. It is a lead-only report support track that runs only after the lead freezes findings and dimension scores, and it shapes already-supported priority moves rather than writing project guidance.
