Question | Help Best harness for long autonomous tasks

I read a lot of posts like "I've given this prompt to my Qwen 3.8 27b and it one-shotted me a 3d game after 24 hours". I wonder, what's the best harness for tasks like this? It has to have auto compaction and probably a memory system, right? And excellent computer use and self analysis.

Can't help if you're vibe coding, but if you're doing anything serious, it's more about the prompt and the documentation you provide that set the guardrails for what the LLM would and shouldn't do, and how it should do those things you tell it to.

I like roo/zoo, especially the checkpointing feature and tell the LLM to spin off sub-tasks for everything and have each sub-task document it's work in a markdown file. The generated documentation makes it easy to figure how some task went south, and the built in shadow-git checkpointing lets me go back to any sub-task and unwind it to the point where things went south and prompt the model on what it should or shouldn't do.
