 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Replaced `getBuiltinModelDataUrl(provider)` with `getBuiltinModelDataGeneratedAt()` so built-in catalog freshness uses its recorded generation time instead of installation-dependent file metadata ([#7016](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7016) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
+
+### Added
+
+- Added Kimi Code subscription OAuth login for the `kimi-coding` provider, with device authorization, token refresh, and OAuth host overrides ([#6935](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6935) by [@zaycruz](https://github.com/zaycruz)).
+- Added OpenRouter OAuth PKCE login that mints a user-controlled API key for chat and image providers ([#6927](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6927) by [@rsaryev](https://github.com/rsaryev)).
+- Added `Tool.constrainedSampling` with strict JSON Schema (`prefer`/`require`) and OpenAI Lark/regex grammar variants, enforcing provider-side constrained tool sampling across OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, and Mistral. See [Constrained Sampling for Tools](README.md#constrained-sampling-for-tools).
+- Added `supportsGrammarTools` and `supportsStrictTools` compatibility flags, expanded `supportsStrictMode` to Responses and Bedrock models, and generated model capability metadata to gate constrained sampling.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed generated model catalogs to expose only provider-verified reasoning effort levels from models.dev ([#6928](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6928) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed OpenAI Codex cached WebSocket continuations after grammar tool calls to send only the real tool-result delta.
 - Fixed constrained tool sampling across Google, Amazon Bedrock, Mistral, and Azure OpenAI Responses adapters, including model-aware strict-tool capabilities, grammar configuration validation, and malformed grammar-call replay errors.
 - Fixed `cacheRetention: "none"` to disable implicit prompt-cache writes for supported OpenAI models and session-based caching for OpenAI Codex ([#6618](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6618) by [@tmustier](https://github.com/tmustier)).
-- Fixed OpenAI and Anthropic provider retry waits to honor abort signals and configured delay limits ([#6911](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6911)).
+- Fixed DNS lookup failures such as `getaddrinfo`, `ENOTFOUND`, and `EAI_AGAIN` to trigger automatic assistant retries ([#6946](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6946) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
+- Fixed OpenAI Codex WebSocket sessions to retry once without a missing previous-response continuation after `previous_response_not_found` errors ([#6955](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6955) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
+- Fixed OpenAI and Anthropic provider retry waits to honor abort signals and configured delay limits ([#6980](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6980) by [@petrroll](https://github.com/petrroll)).
 - Fixed OpenRouter Anthropic cache breakpoints to advance through tool results and enabled cache control for `~anthropic/*-latest` aliases ([#6941](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6941) by [@mteam88](https://github.com/mteam88)).

 - Added `contentText` for extracting joined text from message content ([#6840](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6840) by [@xl0](https://github.com/xl0)).

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### New Features
+
+- **Constrained tool sampling** — Tools can prefer or require strict JSON Schema sampling or use OpenAI Lark/regex grammars, with model capability metadata preventing unsupported requests. See [Constrained Sampling for Tools](../ai/README.md#constrained-sampling-for-tools).
+- **OpenRouter and Kimi Code sign-in** — Use `/login` to authorize OpenRouter or a Kimi Code subscription without manually configuring API keys. See [OpenRouter](docs/providers.md#openrouter).
+- **Session-aware, streaming bash integrations** — Bash tools receive current session/model metadata, while direct RPC bash commands stream correlated output. See [Bash Tool Session Environment](docs/environment-variables.md#bash-tool-session-environment) and [RPC bash events](docs/rpc.md#bash_execution_update).
+
 ### Added
 
-- Exposed `PI_SESSION_ID`, `PI_SESSION_FILE`, `PI_PROVIDER`, `PI_MODEL`, and `PI_REASONING_LEVEL` to commands run by built-in and factory-created bash tools.
+- Added inherited `Tool.constrainedSampling` with strict JSON Schema (`prefer`/`require`) and OpenAI Lark/regex grammar variants across OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, and Mistral. See [Constrained Sampling for Tools](../ai/README.md#constrained-sampling-for-tools).
+- Added inherited `supportsGrammarTools` and `supportsStrictTools` compatibility flags, expanded `supportsStrictMode` coverage, and generated model capability metadata to gate constrained sampling.
+- Added inherited Kimi Code subscription OAuth login for the Kimi For Coding provider, including device authorization and automatic token refresh ([#6935](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6935) by [@zaycruz](https://github.com/zaycruz)).

+- Added streaming `bash_execution_update` events for direct RPC bash commands, correlated with request IDs. See [RPC bash events](docs/rpc.md#bash_execution_update) ([#6971](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6971) by [@ananthakumaran](https://github.com/ananthakumaran)).
