This adds experimental support for virtual models. A virtual model is a catalog entry that an extension registers with pi.registerVirtualModel(). It does not talk to a provider itself; for every request it picks a physical model and thinking level. The motivation is to make routing policies pluggable: plan on a strong model and implement on a cheap one, pick a model with a classifier, or move to a larger window when the context grows. Today this needs model switching by hand or hacks in prepareRequest.
The selection stays virtual: model_change records it, resume restores it, and each response records the physical model and thinking level that produced it. Router state can be stored on the session branch, so it follows /tree and forks and survives compaction. Context limits, compaction and image sizing use the physical model a request was routed to. examples/extensions/jev-router.ts shows a full router that uses the Jev classifier to pick Sol or Terra for planning and hands off to Luna after the first edit. docs/virtual-models.md describes the API.
Adds a built-in mcp extension that reads mcp.json (agent dir, and .pi/mcp.json for trusted projects) in the common mcpServers format, connects stdio and streamable HTTP servers at session start, and registers their tools as mcp__<server>__<tool>. Calls go through the regular tool pipeline, so hooks and permission extensions apply. /mcp shows server status.
By default a server's tools are codemode-only: the new nestedOnly tool flag keeps them executable for other tools but out of the model's tool declarations, and pi activates the codemode tool for them. "exposure": "direct" declares them to the model as well. structuredContent from tools with an outputSchema reaches codemode scripts as data.
