Kiro's August 3 post describes replacing three diverging language-specific agent implementations with one standalone server process, so the harness and its clients need not share a language or runtime. Serves Kiro IDE 1.0, Kiro CLI v3, Kiro on web, and Kiro for iOS over Agent Client Protocol 1.0, extended with a custom WebSocket transport and a "Kiro-ACP" namespace adding 20+ agent-callable and 15+ client-callable methods under _kiro/. Permissions use Cedar, a formally verified policy language, grouping tools by capability (fs_read, fs_write, shell). Out-of-process harness plus formal policy language is a credible template if you're running one agent across CLI, editor, and mobile.
