If you run Claude Code with `-p --output-format json` it's no longer a TUI, but it's still a harness.

The fact that it's a tui isn't particularly relevant. It could be a gui or cli and provide very similar value.
Nearly all of its value is facilitating your interaction with the LLM, the tools it can use, and how it uses them.
