That (and oh-my-pi) seem like an excessive swing in the other direction. Im all for the simplicity and minimalism of pi. There are just a few fundamental things that need updated (mainly subagent context and open-by-default security model).

yup thats mine. :) i actually had some stuff layered into mono pi, and i frankly hit my limit in terms of architecture issues in monopi, omp aka oh my pi is frankly better architectured. if you pared back the fearure set to be minimal, you would full stop have a better designed minimal harness.

i do have a proper next gen no slop harness in the work.

amusingly , dog fooding existing tools with my improvements layered in, has repeatedly validated my design choices and if anything has reduced my tolerance for the errors that seem to happen in vanilla or first party harnesses
