Pi-Bolt 0.8.6

Pi-Bolt 0.8.6 runs Pi 1.2.0. Everything else is 0.8.5.

Pi 1.2.0

Everything in Pi 1.2.0, among it:

• OpenRouter model lists per key: with an OpenRouter key, /model lists only the models that key may use, with its context
  size, output limit and prices, including regional endpoints set in models.json.
• Configuration schemas: add $schema to settings.json, models.json, keybindings and themes for validation and
  completion in your editor.
• Copying over remote sessions: PI_CLIPBOARD_OSC52=1 sends copied text to a remote client's clipboard when Pi-Bolt cannot
  tell it runs remotely, for example in a multiplexer attached from another machine.
• Codemode: tool declarations show input constraints (integer, minimum, maximum, default), and codemode rows show how long a
  script has run.
• pi-bolt -p exits 1, with a warning, when the answer was cut off at the model's output limit.
• Anthropic requests that the provider refuses for the size of the strict tool set are retried once; "The upstream provider
  returned an error" is retried like other temporary provider errors.
• MCP: tool calls accept structured content that is not an object, servers with resources register their tools at once, and a
  call cancelled while waiting for a sign-in refresh is not sent.
• Key bindings that name a shifted symbol, such as ctrl++, match under the Kitty keyboard protocol.
• On Windows, reading or writing auth.json retries briefly instead of failing while a previous lock is still being removed.

For extension authors

Pi 1.2.0 changes two things extensions can see:

• before_agent_start also fires for runs that pi.sendMessage(..., { triggerTurn: true }) starts. Its event has a
  messageType: "user" events carry prompt and images, "custom" events the starting message. A handler meant only
  for prompts should check event.messageType === "user".
• The session counts as busy while a run starts: pi.sendUserMessage() then needs deliverAs.

OpenSec's extensions (opensec-pi-subagents, opensec-pi-todo, opensec-pi-fff) work with both unchanged.

Themes: the theme schema is now https://pi.dev/schemas/theme.schema.json. A theme that fails it is reported when it loads.

Startup

Pi 1.2.0 builds the models.json and theme schemas, and compiles a checker for each, when it starts. Pi-Bolt keeps both out of
its start: models.json is checked against the same schema as plain JSON Schema, generated from 1.2.0's definitions, and the
theme schema is built the first time a theme of your own is loaded.

Engine

Unchanged since 0.8.5: this release's runtimes are 0.8.5's.
