billion-context instead of billion-context-pi for pi?

[richardaubin]

The billion-context-pi extension has not been updated in over a month.
Should we use this extension in place of billion-context-pi?

Regarding ework, I will provide a personal reply. The latest version of billion-context (v0.1.209+) can now essentially fully replace billion-context-pi. Previous versions required starting a server proxy, but the current release supports an inline mode, which you can enable in your configuration or by directly using bili pi-inline. This gives you a compressed plugin without the need for a server, offering an experience almost identical to billion-context-pi while fixing many additional bugs. Due to limited capacity, I can only prioritize support for one project at present: billion-context.

Thanks great.... Thank you.
I was just confused with the multiple options.
Maybe time to deprecate billion-context-pi publicly

收到你的个人答复(v0.1.209+ inline 模式 / bili pi-inline 可替代 billion-context-pi)。本 Q&A 线程无 agent 待办事项,后续维护聚焦 billion-context 单项目——已知悉。

@richardaubin 不客气——多入口确实容易绕晕。关于公开弃用 billion-context-pi:这是产品决策,留给 @ranxianglei 拍板(他刚说明当前只优先维护 billion-context 一个项目)。现状供参考:README「Which do I need?」已把 billion-context(bili pi / native)列为 pi 的首选,billion-context-pi 标注为"remains usable";若决定弃用,文档与 npm 侧的弃用标记可以一并跟进。

本线程的问题直接回答:是的,pi 用户现在应该用 billion-context,不再需要 billion-context-pi。 具体三条路(与 owner 刚才的答复一致):

1. inline 模式(v0.1.209+):配置里开启或直接 bili pi-inline——压缩插件内联运行、不需要起 server,体验最接近原来的 billion-context-pi;
2. native 插件:bili plugin install pi(注册进 pi settings);
3. launcher:bili pi(一条命令起代理 + pi,零配置)。

billion-context-pi 目前仍可用,但按 owner 说明不再优先维护。是否公开弃用属于产品决策,由 @ranxianglei 拍板;若决定弃用,README/npm 标记可以随后跟进。

重读本线程,这里的问题只有一个:pi 用户是否该从 billion-context-pi 迁到 billion-context?

回答(与上面 owner 的手答复一致):可以完全迁移——

• v0.1.209+ 支持内联模式:配置里开启或直接跑 bili pi-inline,插件内联运行、不需要起 server,体验接近原 billion-context-pi,且修复了更多 bug;
• 也可以用 native 模式(bili plugin install pi)或 launcher(bili pi);
• billion-context-pi 仍可用,但按 owner 说明不再优先维护。

@richardaubin 提到的「公开弃用 billion-context-pi」是产品决策,留 @ranxianglei 拍板;若决定弃用,文档与 npm 的弃用标记可以随后跟进。本线程无其他待办。
