What is new in Harness 0.8.4
# Harness 0.8.4 — set_value, and type() stops lying about no-ops
A focused point release for one severe finding (WB-27 / W36): `act{type}` could not fill an `<input type="datetime-local">` behind a controlled React `onChange` — the field cleared and the create was silently dropped, while REST and Playwright both worked. Two failure modes hid behind it: reading `selectionStart` on a date/number/datetime-local input *throws* (aborting the whole insert), and a controlled component reverts any value not set the framework's way. Tool-surface change is additive.
## Highlights
### New `set_value(id, value)` web act
Addresses a Set-of-Mark id (the same parked registry `scroll_into_view` uses), focuses the element, drives the value through the native prototype setter — the React-value-tracker-correct path — dispatches `input` + `change`, blurs to commit, then **reads the value back** and reports whether it stuck. `<select>` matches by option value or visible label.
