Agent tasks can take up to ten days, involving many handoffs, and Arca has built an internal memory system tracking what's happened and what's next for each client. Arca built its own harness that automatically picks the best model (Claude is primary) per task, giving it flexibility to switch providers.

A 'meta-agent' reviews advisor feedback and agent traces to suggest harness improvements. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
