Gemini 3 Pro drops 8.1 percentage points on Terminal-Bench simply by running inside Google’s own command-line tool (65.8%) instead of a third-party harness like Terminus 2 (73.9%)—on identical weights across identical tasks.
As teardowns of modern coding agents reveal, only ~1.6% of a CLI agent codebase directly handles model reasoning; the remaining 98.4% is operational plumbing (process sandboxing, context compaction, tool execution, and error recovery). The model is merely the engine—the harness is the rest of the vehicle.
In this breakdown, we compare Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI / Antigravity CLI across security models, context window compaction architectures, ecosystem access changes, and the statistical error bars that render top-ranked leaderboard gaps negligible.

What We Cover:
• The 8-Point Harness Penalty: Why running Gemini 3 Pro inside Google’s native CLI costs 8 points on Terminal-Bench compared to Terminus 2.
• Kernel Jail vs. ML Supervisor:
o Codex CLI: OS-level isolation enforcing kernel sandboxing via macOS Seatbelt, Linux bubblewrap/user namespaces, and domain-whitelisted egress proxies.
o Claude Code: Layered software guardrails powered by a 7-stage action classification model and 27 customizable runtime hook events.
• Context Compaction Strategies: Server-side encrypted latent-state handoffs (Codex) vs. 5-stage local client-side summarization, ranking, and assembly pipelines (Claude Code).
• Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI: Analyzing Google’s shift away from Apache 2.0 individual-tier CLI access toward a closed-binary, Go-based parallel subagent architecture (Antigravity).
• The 89-Task Error Bar Reality: Why a 0.7% spread at the top of Terminal-Bench 2.1 ($pm 1.2%$) between Fable 5 (Claude Code) and GPT-5.5 (Codex) is statistical noise rather than genuine model superiority.
