feat(coding-agent): let inline ctx.ui.custom() components report blocked program status (#11471)
Inline `ctx.ui.custom()` components never report pi as blocked through
OSC 7501 program status. This is on purpose, because the same API hosts
loaders. As a result, a custom dialog that waits for the user (an
approval prompt, the `question.ts` example) shows up as `working`, and
the terminal cannot tell that pi needs input.

The extension dialog stack already stores a blocked status for each
dialog and reports the visible one. This change adds an optional
`blocked` option to `ctx.ui.custom()`:

```ts
ctx.ui.custom(factory, { blocked: { kind: "question", message: "Pick a color" } });
```

The inline branch of `showExtensionCustom()` passes it to
`pushExtensionDialog()`. Components without the option behave as before.
Overlays ignore the option because they are not part of the dialog
stack. `docs/tui.md` documents the option.

Testing:
- Added a test to `test/interactive-mode-extension-dialogs.test.ts`:
  - A custom component that opts in reports `blocked`.
- A plain custom component stacked on top of it clears the blocked
status.
  - Closing the plain component restores the blocked status.
  - Closing the opted-in component clears it.
- The test fails without the change to `interactive-mode.ts` and passes
with it.
- `npm run check`: biome and lint pass, and there are no type errors in
coding-agent. The only errors are existing type errors in
`packages/ai/test` from locally generated model data. They are not
related to this change.

Fixes #11428

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
