Problem Statement

I have a question, and a suggestion that could possibly turn around some of the bad feelings Max plan users might have accumulated over the last few weeks, help a lot of us be more than happy to pay claude, and get more control over what we put into our context.

Since claude code itself supports --bare mode, why wouldn't you allow max users to use it?
It is still claude code, so no third party, we stay in your ecosystem, and we get to manage our context using your harness, our way.

Proposed Solution

Allowing max users to be able to use --bare mode would solve the same problem Pi has been solving for us, and it also would solve the 'feature bloat' issues. People who don't want anything more than a basic harness, can stay in --bare, people who want everything uses all, or for different projects different modes.

Wouldn't this alleviate a lot of the bad feelings people got after 3rd party harnesses like Pi got hard banned?
