Several places truncate text by UTF-16 code units with `slice()`. When the cut lands between the two halves of a surrogate pair (an emoji or other character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane), the result keeps a lone high or low surrogate. That is invalid UTF-16. Example: a grep match line with 499 ASCII characters followed by `😀` is cut at 500 units, so the output ends in `\uD83D... [truncated]`. The bundled providers strip lone surrogates before sending (`sanitizeSurrogates` in pi-ai), so the usual effect is a dropped character. But the broken text still reaches the session file, RPC and JSON clients (strict UTF-8 encoders such as Rust's serde_json reject lone surrogates), extensions, and custom providers. This adds `sliceHead(text, n)` and `sliceTail(text, n)` to `core/tools/truncate.ts`. They behave like `slice(0, n)` and `slice(-n)` but return one unit fewer when the cut would split a pair, and are used where truncated text reaches the model: - `truncateLine` (grep match lines), the case reported in #7121 - codemode `truncateOutput` head and tail, and its argument and error previews - compaction `truncateForSummary` (tool results sent to the summarizer) - MCP server summaries in the system prompt and stderr tails in connection errors The cost is two `charCodeAt` checks per truncation, and nothing on the untruncated path. The surrogate check follows the fix in #7122 by @IKEASven69, which @cristinaponcela reviewed in a follow-up branch. That PR was closed before merging. Not changed: TUI-only previews (renderers, visual truncation) and line-based slicing. pi-private's pi-durable codemode `output.ts` has the same head/tail slicing and needs a separate change there. **Testing** - New `test/truncate-surrogates.test.ts`: an emoji at the cut in `truncateLine` is dropped whole, an emoji ending exactly at the limit is kept, `sliceHead`/`sliceTail` never leave a lone surrogate for any length, and they match `slice` on text without surrogates. - `test/tools.test.ts`, compaction, MCP extension, and codemode tests pass. - `npm run check` passes. fixes #7121 This PR is AI-generated. |

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

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
