v0.79.8-fork.0

Release 0.79.8-fork.0

v0.79.8

New Features

• Selective provider base entry points - SDK users can pair @earendil-works/pi-ai/base and @earendil-works/pi-agent-core/base with explicit provider registration to keep bundled applications from including unused provider transports. See pi-ai Base Entry Point and pi-agent-core Base Entry Point.
• Mistral prompt caching - Mistral sessions now use provider-side prompt caching with session affinity and cached-token usage/cost accounting. See API Keys and Environment Variables.
• Post-compaction token estimates - Compact results and compaction events now include estimated post-compaction token counts so clients can show the approximate context reduction. See RPC compact and compaction events.
• OpenRouter Fusion alias - openrouter/fusion is available as a built-in OpenRouter model alias. See API Keys.

Added

• Added inherited @earendil-works/pi-ai/base and @earendil-works/pi-agent-core/base entry points for selective provider registration in bundled applications (#5348 by @FredKSchott).
• Added inherited Mistral prompt caching using the pi session ID as prompt_cache_key, including cached-token usage and cost accounting (#5854).
• Added estimated post-compaction token counts to compact results and compaction events (#5877).
• Added the inherited OpenRouter Fusion alias as openrouter/fusion (#5866 by @dannote).

Fixed

• Updated vulnerable runtime dependencies, including undici and the packaged protobufjs transitive dependency.
• Fixed compaction to refuse sessions with no eligible messages instead of producing empty summaries (#4811).
• Fixed successful overflow-triggered auto-compaction to avoid retrying completed assistant responses (#5720).

v0.79.7

New Features

• Automatic theme mode - /settings can choose separate light and dark themes and follow terminal color-scheme changes. See Selecting a Theme.
• Self-only updates by default - pi update now updates pi only, with pi update --all for updating pi and packages together. See Install and Manage.
• Extension API helpers - extensions can use CONFIG_DIR_NAME for project config paths and import edit diff helpers for edit-style diffs. See ctx.cwd and SDK Exports.
• Warp inline images - Warp terminals now get inline image rendering through Kitty graphics detection. See Image.

Added

• Added automatic theme mode so /settings can use separate light and dark themes and follow terminal color-scheme changes (#5874).
• Added inherited Warp terminal image capability detection so inline images render through Warp's Kitty graphics support (#5841 by @dodiego).
• Exported CONFIG_DIR_NAME from the coding-agent public API so extensions can resolve project config paths without hardcoding .pi (#5869 by @xl0).
• Exported edit diff helpers (generateDiffString, generateUnifiedPatch, and EditDiffResult) from the public API for extensions that need edit-style diffs (#5756 by @xl0).

Changed

• Changed bare pi update to update only pi, added pi update --all for updating pi and extensions together, and clarified extension update prompts.
• Reserved / in theme names for automatic light/dark theme settings.
• Updated extension docs, examples, runtime help, trust prompts, and config labels to use the configured project config directory instead of hardcoded .pi paths.

Fixed

• Fixed RPC unknown-command errors to include the request id so clients do not hang waiting for a response (#5868).
• Fixed /model autocomplete and model selection searches to match provider/model queries regardless of whether the provider or model token is typed first.
• Fixed the tree navigator to horizontally pan deep entries so the selected item remains readable (#5830).
