How to install

Rust 1.87+ is required. The daemon and CLI are two processes; Ollama covers a local model.

cargo build
cargo run -p harness-daemon
cargo run -p harness-cli -- -p "hello"

Known limitations

  • Windows builds but has not run on real hardware
  • The macOS app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized
  • There is no auto-update yet: releases are installed by script
  • Code mode is limited to batch calls

Versioning

0.1.x fixes bugs without changing the API. 0.2 brings the next features. 1.0 when the protocol and data formats stop changing.
