Cerevisor v1.2.0 adds a **Situational Awareness (SA) pillar** that runs alongside every workflow. It gives the harness, and you, a continuously-updated read on what it actually knows, what it's assuming, what's changed since you last looked, and what's still unknown.

- **[Overview](./overview.md)**: what SA is, the three slices (taskwork, agent, teamwork), the state labels.
- **[Configure and run](./configure-and-run.md)**: the SA Directive, the per-agent uncertainty badge, the wave situation report, fixation warnings.
