SpecPi 0.16.0
Delegation on by default
SpecPi 0.16.0 enables experimental, bounded read-only delegation at the first session start of each Pi process, including TUI, RPC, print and JSON modes. Startup checks settings, provider compatibility and Guard policy without launching workers or model inference.
- One agent remains the sole writer. Review/scout admission, source restrictions, worker and call limits are unchanged.
/delegate offand safety revocations remain effective through reloads and session switches./delegate onre-enables delegation; restarting Pi reapplies the on default.- Early-startup revocations cannot be overwritten by the default. Invalid settings, unsupported provider routes and locked, unready or ambiguous Guard policies still block activation.
- Updated delegation documentation, security guidance and release references. The separately versioned SpecPi Chat package is unchanged.
VS Code extension download
Download specpi-chat-0.3.2.vsix from the release assets, then run Extensions: Install from VSIX… in VS Code and select the downloaded file. A SHA-256 checksum is included alongside it.
Chat is versioned separately from the harness: Chat 0.3.2 accompanies SpecPi 0.16.0. The VSIX was built from this release's source and passed package checks, 68 rendered tests, and an isolated real VS Code installation/extension-host suite. It is a preview, not a Marketplace publication. Node.js 22.19+, Pi 0.84.4+, and the SpecPi harness must already be installed; installing the VSIX does not install or update them.
