ACP support would help us adopt Claude Code in our in-game-engine agent. +1!

I'm interested in this feature because I'd like to start using https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell without needing zed's ACP bridge. That's one too many moving parts in an already complex setup. If claude-code had direct ACP support then integration would be trivial.

I would very much like this feature because I already have a custom dashboard that "runs my life". I don't want terminal access to Claude as an external thing, I want ACP access as something I can integrate into my own UI. Gemini already supports this. So does AWS's Kiro.

Sadly, I feel like this is yet another thing that Antrhropic is digging their heels in on (Claude.md vs Agents.md, anyone?), rather than attempting to let user adopt standards. It's very short-sighted.
