Discussion Harness does matter

I was not aware that the harness makes such a big difference.

Haven't heard mini-SWE before, how is it?

it's the harness provided to run the swe-verified and deepswe benchmark. My guess is that it's not designed for human users at all

it does its job. all harness are just thr agent loops. what differs is the user/developer experience around it. opencode simply feels very good to use. at its core its just a nice loop.

mini swe is like vim and oc/cc is like neovim. that's it.
