ATIF and Harbor interoperability

Merion can ingest observable external-harness evidence and export audited evaluation tasks without making either external format its internal source of truth.

Import an ATIF trajectory

merion interop atif-import ./trajectory.json \
  --workspace ./.merion \
  --id atif.my-run.1 \
  --json

Merion accepts exact ATIF v1.7 JSON, stores the raw file in the local content-addressed artifact store, and persists the normalized trajectory with payload provenance.

Export an audited task to Harbor

merion interop harbor-export task.my-eval \
  ./harbor-manifest.json \
  ./out/harbor-task \
  --workspace ./.merion

The task must have passed Merion’s eight-check audit. The export creates a deterministic Harbor task bundle and requires a real environment and verifier from the manifest. Exports are no-network by default, exclude every solution/ path, and refuse to overwrite existing files.

Import a Harbor result

merion interop harbor-result-import ./result.json \
  --task-id task.my-eval \
  --expected-task-checksum checksum-from-harbor \
  --workspace ./.merion \
  --json

The checksum binds the result to the exact exported task. The imported record retains rewards, usage, timing, exception summaries, and source-payload provenance.

Architectural boundary

ATIF is an evidence interchange format. Harbor is an executable task format. Merion retains its own governed WorkEpisode, EvalTask, verifier, environment, and ExperimentSpec contracts so an external tool cannot silently redefine the evidence or approval boundary.
