I started out with agy CLI but it's horrible because of its very indeterminate context compaction. But I live with it because it's the only way to use Google's subscription. I was and still use Opencode in parallel (accessing Openrouter ZDR endpoints) when I run out of rate limits / weekly limits.
Over the past two weeks, I have started using a locally modified version of deepseek-harness (modifications include disabling telemetry and querying a provider's model list dynamically through Openrouter, instead of relying on the pre-packaged pi-ai manifest that comes with the base code). So far, that has been the best experience - I really like the caching, tokens/sec stats that it provides. (EDIT: I don't know a lick of TypeScript but AI-driven modification of the harness is good enough for me to make these tweaks).
Sandboxing is a definite issue for me. As you perhaps know already, headless operation is often not an option in graphics/game programming which requires actual render-surface instantiations from windowing systems and then input-context handling (keyboard/mouse/gamepad) as well. So I run most development on a VM. But part of my test-suite and smoke-tests rely on runninng it directly on the host OS (which is not ideal). I'd love to hear suggestions to avoid this.
