In RPC mode, `shutdownHandler` only set a `shutdownRequested` flag. That flag was checked in two places: after a stdin command was handled and on `agent_settled`. If an extension called `ctx.shutdown()` while the session was idle (for example from a timer), neither check ever ran. The process stayed alive until the client sent another command. Interactive mode already shuts down right away in this case. Changes in `packages/coding-agent/src/modes/rpc/rpc-mode.ts`: - **One check for all paths:** `checkShutdownRequested()` shuts down only when a request is pending, input is attached, no command is being handled, and the session is idle. Each of those ending calls it again: command completion, prompt settle, `agent_settled`, and input attach. - **Idle requests:** the shutdown handler schedules the check on the next tick, so the requesting handler finishes first. The conditions are checked when the tick runs, not when it is scheduled: a stdin command that arrives in between is handled first, and shutdown follows when it finishes. - **Requests during startup:** a request made before input is attached (for example a synchronous `ctx.shutdown()` in `session_start`) is checked once the input reader is attached. - **Requests during a command:** shutdown waits until the command finishes, including extension commands. A `prompt` command returns before `session.prompt()` settles, so it stays counted as in flight until the prompt settles, and the shutdown check runs then. This also fixes an existing ordering problem: an extension command that called `ctx.shutdown()` could exit the process before its `prompt` response was written. - **Repeated requests:** `checkShutdownRequested()` does nothing once shutdown has started, so a second `ctx.shutdown()` does not call `process.exit` in the middle of async cleanup. A second stdin EOF or signal still forces exit, as before. Shutdown requested during a running turn is still handled on `agent_settled`, as before. A request made while an extension-started compaction runs (not idle, no run to settle) still waits for the next command or run; `docs/rpc.md` and `docs/extensions.md` note this. Docs (`docs/rpc.md`, `docs/extensions.md`) and the CHANGELOG are updated. ## Testing - Added three tests to `test/rpc-prompt-response-semantics.test.ts`: - an async `ctx.shutdown()` on an idle session exits; - an extension command that calls `ctx.shutdown()` gets its `prompt` response written before exit; - a command that arrives after an idle request but before the scheduled check runs gets its response written before exit. All three fail without the change and pass with it. - `npm run check` passes. All `test/rpc*` tests pass. - In `./test.sh`, all coding-agent tests pass. The only failures were timeouts in durable/harness tests (`store-storage`, `tools-images`, connection close), which this change does not touch. - Reproduction from the issue: run `pi --mode rpc --no-session -ne -e ./shutdown-probe.mjs` with stdin held open and nothing sent. - Before the change, the process stayed alive until a timeout killed it (exit 124). - After the change, `session_shutdown` fires and the process exits with code 0. - A synchronous `ctx.shutdown()` in `session_start` also exits with code 0.

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.
- Demo video on how to publish Pi sessions
- Published Pi development sessions:
badlogicgames/pi-monoon Hugging Face.
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
