I've been building a harness (on top of Pi for that matter) and have had similar experiences. Pi itself helps a lot with it being extensible by design but it's definitely been a challenge to make certain things work in an expected way.

The native app I'm building on top, which I hope people who are less technical (or not technical at all) will use, is even more interesting because it's not just supposed to shell out to the CLI for everything and needs its own state.
