What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Large Language Model agents operate through closed-loop action policies whose decision space is defined by an agent harness. We investigate how this operating space shapes agent behavior and policy learning in computer-aided design (CAD), a professional domain characterized by persistent state, geometric constraints, and long-horizon procedures. We instantiate this perspective in DeciCAD, a domain-native harness that exposes semantic CAD actions, decision-oriented observations, environment feedback, and persistent state transitions. Building on this harness, we develop a learning pipeline that extracts causal decision supervision from interaction trajectories and improves the policy through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and geometry-grounded online reinforcement learning (RL). Across four CAD benchmarks, DeciCAD achieves the best F1 and intersection over union (IoU) while reducing model-output tokens by 45--88% relative to a general-purpose coding harness. Under matched supervision, its SFT policy improves F1 from 0.6883 to 0.7437 and outperforms the coding policy; subsequent online RL further raises geometry availability from 66.5% to 73.5% and F1 to 0.7880. These results demonstrate that the decision space induced by a harness materially affects both agent execution and policy learning in CAD.
