What's Good
Apache-2.0 CE (HarnessRouter/harnessrouter). Implements Unified Harness Protocol (UHP): sessions, streaming, files, artifacts, cancellation, structured failures. One `docker run` path with your provider keys; Console analytics pipeline disabled in CE. Reference implementation + conformance suite in-repo.
The Catch
Vs DeerFlow and DeepSeek Harness: this is a harness router/API layer over other CLIs, not a full SuperAgent product or a Cordis plugin harness itself. ~4 GB Docker disk and first-launch CLI installs; Starter Kits use separate licensing from CE; managed Cloud is optional paid path — free bar is self-host CE with your keys.
Verdict
Apache CE harness router when your product needs one API over many coding harnesses on your own infra; skip if you only run a single harness directly.
