Having just started out building my own harness because I don't like the others, I really resonate with this post. You probably should make a harness, it seems you've got a really good approach and a great understanding of what it should have.
I mostly still like Claude Code, but I agree it's getting buggy and bloated in their need to move so fast. With the June pricing changes I felt I needed to build an alternative quickly just in case, and so I can start looking at other models for my "claude -p" usage.
The videos from the makers of Pi are interesting with some useful information, but ultimately I came away deciding I would never want to use Pi.
It also helps that Pi & most harnesses don't work on a lot of older computers systems I'd like to be able to use a harness on. It's just API calls, there's no reason this shouldn't all work on much much older machines.
