HTTP MCP servers can set "auth": { "provider": "<provider>" } to send the provider's current /login token as the bearer token instead of using MCP OAuth. The token is read on every request, so provider refreshes apply and nothing is copied to mcp-auth.json. Only allowed in the global mcp.json and from extensions, and requires https except on loopback hosts.
MCP tool and namespace names now replace - with _ like Codex, so the
pi tool name is also the codemode identifier. Tools of a server whose
names collide all get a hash suffix, and server names that differ only
in - and _ are rejected.

Manual compact(), background and blocking threshold compaction, and overflow
compaction with one retry. Summaries are headed pi.compaction entries placed
through the inbox, or appended by a compaction the generation waits on; the
stale rule decides between concurrent summaries.
When the session's initial tools come from defaultTools, /reload activates
names added to the resolved selection. Removals do not deactivate tools, and
explicit --tools/--no-tools/--no-builtin-tools keep overriding the setting.
closes#10245
In codemode.mode "only", tools whose declarations codemode hides were still
listed in the <tools> section. Drop their snippets so the list matches the
declared tools.
closes#10192
The first prompt waits only for servers with direct tools. Other servers
connect in the background; codemode scripts, tool_search, and the
resource tools wait for the servers they need. codemode and tool_search
are activated from the config.
Tool declarations no longer depend on connected servers: the codemode
description leaves out deferred tools, and the tool_search description
no longer lists sources. Servers are listed in an mcp_servers system
prompt section instead, set in before_agent_start from the config and
connected state, so changes are appended to the conversation.
describeNamespace() and searchTools() accept mcp__dev-radius,
mcp__dev_radius, dev-radius, and dev_radius.
closes#10212
Anthropic strict tool use rejects keywords like minimum/maximum with a 400
for the whole request, so one bounded-integer tool broke every turn.
resolveJsonSchemaStrictSampling() now takes an optional per-provider
keyword check. With Anthropic's check, "prefer" tools that hit it fall
back to non-strict. Other providers are unchanged.
fixes#9953
Reject extension commands without a non-empty string name or a handler
at registration, instead of letting them crash the editor when typing /.
fixes#10054
getBranchSelection looked up the model catalog once per assistant message,
which made prompt submission scale with session length. Walk the branch
backward instead: only the last model_change can hold against later
responses, so at most that model needs a lookup.
closes#10198
The subagent tool no longer offers wait, is not rerun after a crash (a repeated stop could stop newer work), reports each answer once even when several messages end in it, checks registry names as own properties, and its scenes cannot hang polling.
Adds oauth.clientName (and pi mcp add --oauth-client-name) to set the
client_name sent during dynamic client registration. Defaults to pi.
closes#10226
MCP codemode exposure no longer lists tools, tool counts, or server
instructions in the codemode description. Servers are listed by name and
an optional mcp.json description; scripts find tools with searchTools()
and read instructions with describeNamespace(). codemode-deferred is an
alias for codemode.

Tasks name their owner (conversation or task); a task waits on other tasks with a waiting state (failFast or allSettled) and runtime.outcomes(); a task that finishes while owned work is live holds completing until it drains; abort handlers run bottom-up; only live owners cascade. The generation owns its tool tasks and waits for them in a tools phase, replacing pi.post-tools and after. Adds Conversation.abort({ background: true }), example 24 (checkout with payments), and reworks example 23 into persistent subagents.
image() now rejects malformed base64 and data without a PNG, JPEG, GIF,
or WebP signature, and derives the MIME type from the signature. Invalid
image blocks were persisted and made every later provider request fail.
closes#10215
registerNativeProvider() did not update the auth snapshot, so the provider
stayed unconfigured until an async refresh saved a snapshot that included it.
At startup that refresh can resolve before its result is saved, so initial
model selection saw the provider as unconfigured and fell back to another
provider or warned that no models are available.
Share registerProvider's provisional entry through markProvisionallyConfigured()
so native providers with a stored credential or a models.json apiKey are
configured immediately.
fixes#9962
Generation offers active registered tools through positional system entries and
hands a tool-calling answer to parallel or sequential pi.tool tasks and a
pi.post-tools task that applies addTools/terminate and continues the run. Tool
tasks validate, run beforeTool/afterTool, record intent with the replay policy,
publish bounded, sanitized, adaptively throttled progress in pi.live.tools, and
write results with a rendered diagnostics block. Hook dispatch with conversation
and subtree scopes, prepareArguments, HarnessOptions.env, and read/bash/edit/write
tools in pi-durable/tools. The env shell now streams raw output and spills past
thresholds; its bounded capture and publisher are removed.
Durable generation imports retry helpers from pi-ai/utils/retry; examples use
pi-ai/models and pi-ai/providers/faux. Entry graph budgets and an import
footprint test guard the models entry.
The lazy OAuth entry list in the bundle build was missing openai-chatgpt,
so /login with OpenAI failed with a missing module error. Also fail the
build if any importOAuthModule() target in load.ts has no lazy entry.
Add gpt-6.1-sol to the OpenAI, Azure OpenAI Responses, and OpenAI Codex
providers with official pricing ($2 input, $0.10 cached input, $2.50
cache writes, $10 output, long-context tier above 272k). The model
rejects reasoning.effort "none", so off is unsupported and clamps to
the lowest effort.
Addresses GHSA-82fw-gwwq-j7x9 (vitest mocker path traversal) and
GHSA-3wwx-pv8p-q78v (undici 6.x permessage-deflate DoS). Both are
dev/example-only; the shipped coding-agent shrinkwrap is unchanged.
Structured bash results now hold the full output up to 1 MiB instead of the
model-facing 2000 lines or 50KB, keeping the first and last 512 KiB of longer
output, and add truncated and full_output_path.
