Tbh, I was drawn to this post's headline because lately I've been having a great time using the Juggler coding agent. I recommend it if you're in search of something powerful with a web interface that works well on mobile devices: https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675

Helix was originally meant to be a "batteries included" editor without any scripting/plugins. That PR intends to change this and so there is a bit of controversy around it. Overall it looks like the PR will eventually be merged.

The Mitos fork could have be made for totally unrelated reasons. This is really just my speculation.

Would you be interested in a self-modifying harness written in Common Lisp? If so, then please check out Autolith: https://github.com/lambda-symbolics/autolith/

In my time using it with GLM 5.2, I've observed it modify itself to disassemble binaries in search of answers - without me needing to ask it to do so. Very powerful stuff. Here's what it looked like:

  ◇ reasoning summary
    │ The 200MB binary grep with regex backtracking is too slow. Let me write the strings out first (using grep -a with simple fixed patterns is fine; regex with .{0,80} on binary is slow). Better: use SBCL to do
    │ a fast binary search, or use tr to split null-separated strings then grep fixed strings. Let me use a quick approach: grep -ao with fixed patterns only (no regex), which was fast before.
    │
    │ To extract context, I can use SBCL to load the file into memory (206MB is fine) and search for occurrences with bounded context. Let me do it in a Lisp worker.

  ◇ reasoning summary
    │ The binary confirms:
    │ - modelProvider in settings.json selects the Gemini API backend with GEMINI_API_KEY.
    │ - There's a regex ^(?:gemini-api:|blade:|evergreen:|beyond-api:)(?:.*?/models/(.+)|(?:.*/)?([^/]+))$ — model references with provider prefixes.
    │ - "No title command configured in settings.json. Please add a "title" block." — settings keys.
    │
    │ Now I need to find the settings struct JSON tags for the model field. Let me search for json:"model" again with wider context, and also for the string "title" block and other settings-related keys like
    │ "theme".
