Have you tried Kimi?
Would be great to boycott the genocidal Claude. But the very thing that makes it awesome is the genocide and govt surveillance supporting components :-/
Yes, I've used Kimi. I'm not sure if it's more the harness. With Claude Code and some detailed instructions it can do a huge refactoring and testing task, taking say 15 minutes. With hermes I keep getting interrupted by context and iteration limits (see OP).
