Our first experience with DeepSeek Harness, why its everything-is-a-plugin architecture led us to rewrite iKanban on top of it, what composition made possible, and which missing workflow features still required our own solutions.
A Claude account ban forced our fallback stack back into the main role. This is how GPT, OpenCode, iKanban, and a skill-based AI Workflow kept work moving, where they still fall behind dynamic workflows, and why orchestration should become a portable plugin rather than a runtime feature.
