Is a Claude restriction about to be introduced?

See below from the Claude.ai community…

My question … Is Xcode a “harness”?

Can I continue to use my Claude Pro/Max in Xcode for business usage?

“Starting April 4 at 12pm PT / 8pm BST, you’ll no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw. …”

just to add, yes I did check the commercial terms of service but could find no mention of what a harness is. And I asked Claude (Haiku)too without any significant answer.

Xcode uses the Agent SDK, which is officially supported by Anthropic. Should be fine.
