Description

The harness picker currently appends the remote agent host name to every harness option. The host is already visible in the workspace picker, so repeating it in the harness picker is redundant and makes the options harder to scan.

### Current

Harness options include the host name, for example:
- `Copilot [benjamins-macbook-pr]`
- `Claude [benjamins-macbook-pr]`
- `Codex [benjamins-macbook-pr]`

### Expected

The harness picker should show only the harness names (`Copilot`, `Claude`, and `Codex`). The workspace picker should remain the source of the remote agent host context.
