v1.2.0 — Pie Link debut

The headline: Pie Link, a signed & notarized macOS companion (pie-link.pkg, v0.1.0) that connects Pie to your machine — hand tasks off to local coding agents, run skill scripts as real local processes, and manage everything from a menu bar app. Plus a redesigned top bar & settings, full-fidelity data extraction, and a batch of agent-loop refinements.

Pie Link (macOS companion)

Install once from the settings page (or grab pie-link.pkg from this release), and Pie gains local superpowers:

• Hand off to local agents — send a task from the side panel straight into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or Pi, as an app or terminal session. Detection resolves real install paths, so it works even for CLIs living outside the default PATH.
• Skills live on disk — skills are stored under ~/.pie/skills/ (aligned with the Agent Skills layout), with ~/.agents/skills mounted as a shared read-only root. First connection offers an import wizard for existing skills.
• Skill scripts run for real — scripts bundled with a skill execute as local CLI processes inside a default sandbox (write-limited to a per-session workspace, network off by default). First run asks for your approval with a capability envelope card; grants can be reviewed and revoked in settings, alongside a recent-execution audit trail.
• Menu bar app — shows connection status, what's running now, and recent executions with a dedicated activity/log window.
• Safe versioning — the extension and daemon handshake on connect; if your installed Pie Link is older than the extension expects, you get a soft upgrade hint while features degrade gracefully by capability.
• Guided install — the settings page walks you through install states and links to the intro page at pie.chat/link.

Pie Link is optional: everything else in Pie keeps working without it.

Redesigned top bar & settings

• Single-column, context-aware top bar with pinned tabs on a secondary row.
• Settings reorganized into a root page + focused subpages; Skills promoted to a top-level section; icons unified on lucide.
• Pie's face got a life of its own — status animations for wake, listening, thinking, acting, and done.
• Human-in-the-loop cards (model pick, CDP, file access, skill grants) now share one visual system.

Data extraction

• extract_records — batch-extract structured records from a page at full fidelity, straight into the session scratchpad: fields are captured automatically, scrolling loops are built in, and results are cleaned with SQL — no lossy LLM transcription in the middle.

Chat & agent loop

• Rewind & edit — jump back to any earlier message, edit it, and resend from that point.
• One-click copy of a model reply, formatting preserved.
• Feedback form in settings, with optional recent logs attached.
• Long waits: wait cap raised to 300s and now honors abort.
• The soft step budget became a neutral periodic checkpoint instead of pressure to wrap up.
• New tabs opened by a click are now surfaced to the model so it can follow.

Fixes & reliability

• Pinned-tab bar no longer disappears while a message is being sent (session-meta lost-update race).
• Micro-app iframes that never go idle no longer hang read_page/actions.
• Provider names in the model picker are properly localized.
