    I am once again (for the third time) [0] asking you to stop using a closed-source harness.

      I understand the motivation for such a concern. But Claude Code in particular has its source code available on GitHub [0].

      So I am unsure if it is fitting to call it a &quot;closed source&quot; harness.

      Edit: The linked repository does not contain source code for Claude Code, the harness, itself. It only contains the source code for (some) scripts, mods and plugins.

        It&#x27;s not open source. It&#x27;s more &quot;source available&quot;, since it&#x27;s published, but you legally can&#x27;t do anything with it. Other than maybe build it yourself, for yourself, I guess.
