How do you even write a harness that can use a Claude subscription? I thought it was not allowed by Anthropic's ToS and can get you banned?

I don't use Claude, but it appears it is permitted to use Claude as a stdin/stdout -communicated tool using JSON, or use Claude SDK, with the monthly plans. Monthly Max/Team plans also include credits that could be used directly via the API: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/17154008-monthly-api-... .
E.g. OpenCode can be used with all three methods. Looks like it needs a plugin for the two Claude methods, though.
Amp recently achieved it. Apparently it's permitted as long as you use the Claude Agent SDK. https://ampcode.com/news/use-your-claude-plan
It's trivial to bypass this by tweaking the system prompt in other harnesses. They use string matching and a blacklist.

(Whether that's against the ToS is not clear.)
That’s a different discussion.
I suspect a lot of people wouldn't use AI if they had to pay per token at current rates. Yes, it's technically a different discussion, but "just write your own harness" isn't really an answer for the vast majority of us riding on the investor-subsidized subscription plans.
If you're using the sub, only OpenAI (via the OAuth token) is viable. Claude is API_KEY only
It's allowed, but you get bumped to per token pricing.
Not true; They rolled back some of the changes you're thinking about IIRC.
That defeats the purpose of using the Claude subscription.
