What harness are you using? Some of them (e.g. OpenCode) mutate the system prompt every turn, and therefore can't work with a KV cache.

I've had the best luck with Pi so far, but it comes without some bells and whistles you might be used to (e.g. plan mode, subagents, MCP client support)

I've also had good results with Pi, and I got used to the new workflows without subagents, MCP, etc.
