Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + observable behavior · 2026-09-04

Use case

Developers need to understand the cost and performance of different agent harnesses to optimize budgets.

Developers may rely on experience or community recommendations, lacking systematic data.

Cost differences among harnesses are huge, and lack of transparent comparison may lead to resource waste.
