Direct Artifact Store Consumption in DAG Harnesses
In directed acyclic graph (DAG) agent harnesses, downstream execution nodes directly read completed files from an artifact store rather than requiring the underlying language model to reconstruct context from an extensive text transcript of historical actions.

In a DAG agent harness, downstream execution nodes can begin processing outputs from storage before the corresponding upstream files are completed.
An engineering team is configuring a DAG agent harness so that downstream nodes ingest output files directly without prompt-based context rebuilding. Which harness component serves as the designated repository from which these downstream nodes retrieve those completed files?
Evaluate the architectural trade-offs and system constraints of designing a DAG agent harness around direct artifact reading instead of cumulative transcript-based context propagation. In your response, analyze how direct file consumption influences language model efficiency and task dependency requirements.
