 - Fixed codemode output items running together, so models could not tell where one `text()` or `console.log()` output ended and the next began. With several text items, each now starts with a `==> text N/M <==` line, and `console` calls follow the other output in one `<console_output>` block with one line per call
 - Fixed `/mcp` waiting for all servers to connect before opening; the manager now updates live and remains usable while enabling, reconnecting, or disabling servers ([#10562](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/10562))
 - Fixed images being dropped as "could not be resized" when running under `node --watch` on Node 24.19+ and 26.x, where Node posts its own messages on the image resize worker channel ([#10527](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/10527))
+- Fixed clipboard paste doing nothing in Termux, and failed copies there omitting the Termux:API install hint ([#10391](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/10391))
