fix(coding-agent): resize images in queued steering and follow-up messages (#11782)
Images in idle prompts go through `processImage`: they are resized to
the model's limits, and a coordinate hint is added to the text. Images
in messages queued while the agent was busy skipped this step. That
covers `steer()`, `followUp()`, `prompt()` with `streamingBehavior`, and
RPC `steer`/`follow_up`. Those images were sent and saved at full size.
For example, a 1200x9000 PNG stayed 1200x9000, which is over Anthropic's
8000 px limit, and because it is saved in the session it was replayed on
every later request.

What the change does:
- `_queueSteer`/`_queueFollowUp` now mark queued user messages that
carry images.
- When such a message is delivered (`message_start`), `AgentSession`
normalizes its images in place with `_normalizePromptImages`, the same
code the idle prompt path uses, and appends the resize hints to its
text. This runs before extensions and listeners see the message, before
it is saved, and before it is added to the request context.
- Doing it at delivery keeps enqueueing synchronous. A slow resize
therefore cannot leave a message queued after the run has ended. I hit
exactly that when I first tried normalizing at enqueue time. Delivery is
also when the resize uses the model current at that moment.
- The queue display still matches and removes the message, because
matching runs before the text is changed.

Testing:
- New `test/agent-session-queued-images.test.ts`: a 1200x9000 PNG is
queued while the agent is streaming, through `steer()`, `followUp()` and
`prompt(..., { streamingBehavior: "followUp" })`. The test checks three
things: each saved message has a resized image and the "original
1200x9000, displayed at 267x2000" hint; no request sent to the model
contains the original image; and the queue is empty afterwards. It fails
without the change and passes with it.
- `npm run check` passes. The `agent-session*` tests, the queue- and
image-related tests and `test/suite` pass.
- Before the change, the saved steer and follow-up messages had
`image/png 1200x9000` while the idle prompt had a resized JPEG. After
it, all three are resized.

Pi

Pi is a minimal, extensible agent harness that you can make your own.

Adapt Pi to your workflows, not the other way around. Customize Pi with extensions, skills, prompt templates, and themes. Bundle them as Pi packages and share via npm or git.

Pi ships with powerful defaults but skips features like sub-agents and plan mode. Ask Pi to build what you want, or install a package that does it your way.

Use Pi interactively, automate it in print or JSON mode, control it over RPC, or build apps with the Pi TypeScript SDK. See OpenClaw for a real-world integration.

Getting started

Install the command-line interface:

curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh

On Windows:

powershell -c "irm https://pi.dev/install.ps1 | iex"

The installer pins all dependencies and updates Pi with pi update. Alternatively, install directly with npm, which does not pin transitive dependencies:

npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent

Pi requires Node.js 22.19 or newer. The macOS, Linux, and Windows installers can install it if needed. Pi does not require dependency lifecycle scripts for a normal npm installation.

On macOS and Linux, Nix users can install the latest release with nix profile add github:earendil-works/pi/stable. See the quickstart for updating and pinning releases.

Start Pi in the directory where you want it to work:

cd /path/to/project
pi

For a built-in AI provider, run /login inside Pi to connect a subscription or API key. Then give Pi a task.

See the documentation for full setup and usage instructions.

Share your OSS coding agent sessions

If you use Pi for open source work, please share your coding agent sessions.

Public OSS session data helps improve models, prompts, tools, and evaluations using real development workflows.

For the full explanation, see this post on X.

To publish sessions, use badlogic/pi-share-hf using a Hugging Face account and the Hugging Face CLI.

Development

Clone the repository, install its dependencies, and run Pi from source:

git clone https://github.com/earendil-works/pi
cd pi
npm install --ignore-scripts
./pi-test.sh

pi-test.sh can be called from any directory and preserves the caller's working directory.

Before submitting changes, run:

npm run check
./test.sh
