Is that an official term "coding harness"

Wondering if you wanted a similar interface (though a GUI not just CLI) where it's not for coding what would you call that?

Same idea cycle through models, ask question, drag-drop images, etc...

Yes. It seems to be the term that stands out the most, as terms like "AI coding assistant", "agentic coding framework", etc. are too vague to really differentiate these tools.

"harness" fits pretty nicely IMO. It can be used as a single word, and it's not too semantically overloaded to be useful in this context.

A harness is a collection of stubs and drivers configured to assist with automation or testing. It's a standard term often used in QA as they've been automating things for ages before Gen Ai came on to the scene.

		Yes, it is also a device used to control the movement of work animals, which farmers have been using for ages before QA came on to the scene.
