Talavine Code is an MIT-licensed agent harness. Bring local models, your API keys and coding CLIs into one workspace. When a configured route fails or refuses, another can take the remaining work.

What happened when Claude hit the cap

We asked the public Mac app to build a small price-quote calculator with a printable quote.

• Claude hit its weekly limit before editing. Talavine Code switched to Codex. The finished app passed all 329 checks.
• Qwen built a component; Codex finished the app. In a separate, deliberately staged handoff, the accepted component stayed unchanged.
• An earlier run failed. It timed out and left an empty HTML file. That failure is in the evidence.

Download the test files and results. The kit includes the unfinished example app, actual outputs, verifier and failed attempts. The 329 checks cover one app.

Direct Codex with a written handoff brief passed too. We have not demonstrated a speed, cost or manual-effort advantage.
