And of course, “lightweight” does have a lot of interpretations where harnesses are concerned (memory footprint, binary size, performance, system prompt, etc).
Some feedback but it might be worth calling out how your harness differs from other relatively light-weight ones like Pi. I assume its got a much smaller memory footprint given yours is C versus Pi's. There are so many agentic harnesses out there that a comparison table might be a nice thing to have on the landind page.
Note: Just to be clear, I'm not accusing you of trying to hide it, given that the GitHub account for Hax is basically identical to your HN account.

This is one step away from: "In season 4, episode 3, what was the exact code Data used to lock out the Enterprise?"

Also:
Not saying bawdy profanity doesn’t have its place in poetry but you may want to at least allow people to filter out those words if you want this to reach a wider audience.
For example having dog means having to take it out regularly for walks and feed it regularly. And in the words of the immortal Calvin and Hobbes, they make for excellent fuzz therapy. Good luck and hope you start feeling better.
The only DALL-E 2 images [1] I could dig up in my archives that matched any of the bench prompts was the Alexander the Great prompt:
A painting of Alexander the Great riding a hippity hop into battle. The hippity hop toy was an old children’s toy that looked like a giant rubber ball with rubber handles that one straddle and ride.
And while it's not exactly the same, DALL-E Mini [2] (from back in 2021) is still around and you can run it locally using pretty modest hardware.[1] - https://imgpb.com/ZyzuX
The only situation I could see it being useful in is if it came with a pressure-sensitive pen, so you could use it for sketching and drawing. But even then, that would only really work well if the screen folded all the way around, so it would sit flush against the base or if it opened 180 degrees, so you could lay it flat on a table without it wobbling around on a hinge.
Always wary of “the jackals” and convinced that the only way to stay ahead of the competition was to introduce new products, Bushnell wanted to discontinue the VCS and move on to the next-generation game console. Bushnell preferred moving to new technologies rather than spending time refining old ideas and letting his competitors catch up to him. He called his philosophy “eating your own babies” and said that if Atari didn’t (eat its own babies), somebody else would.
-- Steven Kent (The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon)The issue today is the breathtaking speed with which people can rip you off by simply pointing an agentic coding harness at your original IP and laundering it into 50 copies in the span of a single weekend.
For a while now, malicious actors have been using LLMs to make semi-plausible looking automated edits to Wikipedia pages to shift discourse, alter information, etc. Fortunately with wikimedia we have a revision history but it's been pretty overwhelming to the dedicated editor staff they have on hand.
Fun fact about me: I enjoy crawling through really tight awkward spaces in the remote possibility that it's actually a portal to Narnia.... it never is.
