Installing Claude Code GitHub Actions is two decisions, and the app install is the one that sticks. The Claude GitHub App grants 11 repository permissions, the action uses 3, you cannot accept a subset, and the set can grow later. A counted field log.
ACP and MCP sit on opposite sides of the agent: MCP connects an agent to tools, ACP connects an editor to the agent. The spec calls itself MCP-friendly and passes your MCP servers inside session/new. The catch is the transport floor: stdio is mandatory, HTTP and SSE are optional capabilities.
The Cost column in ccusage is a counterfactual: what your tokens would have cost at pay-per-use list prices, computed locally. On a Claude subscription it is not your bill, and ccusage's own introduction and Anthropic's own docs both say so. A field log on what the number measures, where the caveat is written, and where it is missing.
OpenCode Go's own page states usage limits as requests per five hours, per model, across fourteen models running 110 to 45,300. The two third-party pages that rank for the term describe the same plan as a three-tier dollar budget on a lineup that has largely turned over. A field log on which source to trust and why.
I ran one real refactor through Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, and Codex CLI, ranked by safety net and review surface, not raw model smarts. A 2026 field log.
I ran the same webhook-handler feature through Gemini CLI and Claude Code on one repo. Gemini CLI wins for large-repo exploration and giant context; Claude Code wins for consistent multi-file changes. A 2026 field log with my routing rule, corrected after Google withdrew Gemini CLI's free individual tier.
I ran the same pagination change through OpenAI Codex and Claude Code on one repo. Codex wins when I can delegate a boxed task; Claude Code wins when I want to steer a multi-file change live. A 2026 field log with my routing rule.
OpenCode is open source and model-agnostic; Claude Code is managed and tuned around one vendor. I ran the same invite feature through both on the same repo in 2026. Here is which I kept, and the routing rule I use now.
A three-month field log on the best MCP servers in 2026: the five that earned a permanent slot, the ones I uninstalled, and the context and trust costs no listicle mentions.
My CI step running claude -p hung for the full timeout, waiting on a permission prompt no human would answer. The three flags that fix headless Claude Code, the jobs I kept, and the two I ripped back out.
A field log of Claude Code's built-in /sandbox: what its OS-level cage actually locks down, the setup that bit me, what auto-allow still stops for, the tools that broke, and the one thing it does not protect.
A first-person weekend log of cloning and running ai-app-builder-open, an open source AI app builder, on localhost. What worked, the one API key you need, and the honest catch versus local-first Dyad.
