What's new

Fresh context for long-idle sessions

Coming back to a session after a long break no longer re-sends the whole history at full price.

• After a set idle time, the old messages leave the model's context and a handoff card takes their place: recent requests, where the work left off, and the files it changed and read. No summary request is made, and nothing is deleted from the session file.
• The model can still look up earlier details with the new pidesk_search_session tool, which searches the session's own transcript, tool arguments and command output.
• The idle threshold follows the model's prompt-cache lifetime when the catalog declares one, otherwise 60 minutes. Set it globally or per model in Settings → General → Idle context; 0 turns it off.
• Messages hidden behind a handoff card can be shown again with one click, as with compaction checkpoints, including after a window reload.

Views update without a reload

Changes to models, projects, Work folders, scheduled tasks and project notes now reach every open view immediately: the session's effort menu, the Projects page and the sidebar no longer need a window reload. Re-entering a session also re-reads its model, thinking level, stats and skills.

Pull requests

• Open PRs of sessions you haven't opened are now re-checked in the background every 5 minutes, so the sidebar and inbox show merges and conflicts without opening the session.
• The PR bar's comment count now includes inline review comments, so it updates when new review comments arrive.

Auto mode

• The command reviewer now checks for real harm instead of strict scope: it only asks for destructive deletes, sending data or credentials to unknown hosts, system changes, download-and-run, or obfuscated commands. Folders, files and URLs from the conversation count as part of the task.
• The reviewer sees the assistant's steps since your last message, not just the request itself.
• cd, pushd, popd, realpath, dirname and basename count as read-only and no longer need approval.

Session tools

• pidesk_list_sessions can list every Work and Code session (scope: "all") and search titles, folders and messages (query). pidesk_read_session reads sessions from any project.
• The model is told to use these tools for questions about your sessions instead of reading pi's session files directly.

Fixes

• On Windows, one-off shell commands (command mode) now use the same Git Bash as the shared shell instead of whatever bash PATH finds first, which could be the WSL launcher.
