nuclear vs agent-bridge

nuclear: Nuclear is a free, open-source music player designed without ads or tracking, allowing users to search for music, build playlists, and listen. It offers a powerful plugin system and theme support, running seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.; agent-bridge: AgentBridge uses a two-process architecture with a foreground MCP client (bridge.ts) and a persistent background daemon (daemon.ts). It enables bidirectional communication between Claude Code and Codex via a control WebSocket and proxy, with automatic reconnection and message loop prevention.
