This change makes system prompt text and tool changes part of the transcript rather than silently rewriting its starting conditions. This lets Pi record when instructions changed or tools became available, restore that state after resuming or navigating branches, and preserve cached prompt prefixes where the upstream supports it.
Move provider auth and OAuth flows onto pi-ai Models, compose models.json and extension overlays through ModelRuntime, and retain ModelRegistry as an extension compatibility facade.
The root barrel is now core-only and side-effect free: types,
createModels/createProvider, auth substrate, lazyStream/lazyApi, faux,
utils. Generated catalogs, api-registry, env-api-keys, images, global
stream functions, and per-API lazy wrappers leave the root.
New @earendil-works/pi-ai/compat preserves the old surface verbatim as
a strict superset of the root: api-dispatch stream/complete with env
key injection, the builtin registration side effect (skip-if-present so
it cannot clobber earlier overrides), deprecated getModel/getModels/
getProviders aliases of the new getBuiltin* reads in providers/all,
lazy api wrappers + setBedrockProviderModule, and image generation.
Compat dies with the coding-agent ModelManager migration.
Packaging: exports map gains ./compat, ./providers/*, ./api/*;
sideEffects array lists only the effectful modules.
Old-global imports across agent/coding-agent/examples and pi-ai tests
switch to /compat (path-only; compat is a superset). The coding-agent
extension loader resolves the pi-ai ROOT specifier to compat, so
existing user extensions using the old global API keep working at
runtime until compat is removed. vitest configs alias /compat to src;
browser smoke imports old globals from /compat.
Previously, registerProvider() overwrote the stored config for a provider,
so a models registration followed by a baseUrl/headers-only override lost
the models. After refresh(), only the override-only config was replayed,
causing extension-provided models to disappear.
Added upsertRegisteredProvider() that merges defined fields into the
existing stored config instead of replacing it. Fields absent from the
incoming config are preserved from the stored config.
Also adds regression tests for dynamic provider override persistence
across refresh.
* fix(coding-agent): surface models.json load errors on stderr in --list-models
When models.json has validation errors, --list-models silently
discarded custom models and overrides without any user-visible
feedback. Now prints the error to stderr via chalk.yellow warning
before listing available models.
* fix(coding-agent): allow custom models for built-in providers in models.json
Built-in providers (openrouter, anthropic, etc.) already have api and
baseUrl on every model, and auth comes from env vars / auth storage.
Relax validation so custom models under built-in providers don't need
redundant baseUrl, apiKey, or api fields. Inherit them from the first
built-in model for that provider.
