TinyHarness 0.2.0 focuses on local AI coding and smaller context

TinyHarness is a local-first that uses Ollama by default. Code stays on the user's machine unless the user chooses another setup.

It tries to keep long AI agent sessions from becoming too large by combining tool results, keeping the small, and compacting old in stages. Its compaction feature is meant to shrink even a 1 million token conversation so it can be handled by a model with a 64,000 token .

Version 0.2.0 adds a with split panes for chat, live project structure, and a file tree, so the user can see what the agent is doing. It also adds Nix support, through an /image command, and installation through cargo install TinyHarness.
