Augment rebuilds its Auggie CLI harness on Pi, cutting SWE-bench Pro task cost 53%

Augment rebuilt the Auggie CLI harness as v2, forking the open-source Pi coding harness and moving its context engine into Pi's extension system.

On SWE-bench Pro at the same pass rate, Auggie v2 completes a task for $1.27 versus $2.70 for Claude Code, which is 53% cheaper.

The gains come mainly from a narrower tool surface, one bash tool plus read, edit, and write, and from codebase retrieval that reduces exploration turns.
