Yes, write your own custom harness harness.

This is what I'm doing too, and it's so much better. No more blocking copy/paste, no more stuck title bars, it actually sends notifications only when I need to give it input, it feels snappy, it doesn't destroy the scrollback buffer, messages are timestamped, I can copy my prompt out without spaces being added, it automatically bumps the agent to check when background processes run too long, and I added a sandbox that actually provides a modicum of security.
