alt Hacker NewsHonestly, the provided argument for it is rather weak. They are basically adding a way of running scripts that are contained within harness to execute harness's own tools (that's the Codemode). A coding agent can already compose any arbitrary logic by invoking shell scripts (or python scripts, or node scripts), etc - so this is just entirely unnecessary in the core, from my perspective.
If you feel that Pi has been drifting away from its original vision, try hax (https://usehax.dev/) - you might like it.

Thank you. I've been frustrated by harnesses hijacking the terminal and breaking basic features such as scrolling and text selection.
It even sends BEL when the agent completes, which makes so much sense, yet Pi never implemented it.
I'm definitely going to use it over the next few days and hopefully make the switch.
