Show HN: Lunar – a coding harness built for transparency and efficiency
Hi everyone, I built Lunar to make my day to day work on our AI gateway easier: basic testing of different providers, advanced testing of features like complexity router, and so on. Lunar allows you to easily switch across providers, gives you debugging tools (`/debug` to dump provider response headers, `/request` to dump the current prompt as a curl request, easy configuration with Lua, and more...). You can use your OpenAI or xAI subscription on it (Anthropic also supported, but use it at your

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 2 votes (Nov 5, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication) Recent records to compare: “Show HN: Agentshield Zero-leak kernel sandbox and secret defense for AI coding” (Show HN, Nov 5, 2026); “Show HN: Tokenome – code provenance for AI-assisted work, on your machine” (Show HN, Nov 5, 2026).

Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
