v0.79.9

New Features

• Chat-template thinking compatibility - OpenAI-compatible custom providers can map Pi thinking levels into chat_template_kwargs, enabling vLLM/Hugging Face chat-template models such as DeepSeek to use provider-native thinking controls. See Custom Provider API Types and OpenAI Compatibility.
• GLM-5.2 provider improvements - GLM-5.2 now has corrected Fireworks OpenAI-compatible routing and OpenRouter xhigh thinking support, improving /model behavior and high-effort reasoning for GLM-5.2 users. See Model Options.

Added

• Added inherited configurable chat-template thinking support for OpenAI-compatible providers that use chat_template_kwargs, such as DeepSeek models behind vLLM (#5673).

Fixed

• Fixed inherited Fireworks GLM-5.2 metadata to use the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint with reasoning_effort support (#5923).
• Fixed same-directory session switches to reuse imported extension modules while preserving fresh extension instances and lifecycle events (#5905).
• Fixed deep session branches taking quadratic time to build context or branch paths (#5909).
• Fixed inherited OpenRouter GLM-5.2 metadata to expose xhigh reasoning and send OpenRouter's native xhigh effort (#5770).
• Fixed inherited Markdown streaming code fence rendering so partial closing fences no longer make code blocks shrink or flicker while content streams (#5846 by @xl0).
• Fixed fuzzy edit matches to preserve untouched line blocks instead of rewriting the whole file through normalized content (#5899).
• Fixed bash commands through legacy WSL bash.exe to pass scripts over stdin so shell variables expand in the target bash (#5893).
• Fixed /model to hide GitHub Copilot models that are unavailable to the authenticated account (#5897).
• Fixed /model selector search to rank exact provider-prefixed matches before proxy-provider model ID matches (#5892).
