## Problem
`InteractiveMode.resetExtensionUI()` runs on `/reload` and before a
session is invalidated (session switch, new session, fork). For overlays
it called `this.ui.hideOverlay()` once, which pops only the topmost
entry of the TUI overlay stack.
Trace: an extension opens two overlays with `ctx.ui.custom({ overlay:
true })`, then the user runs `/reload`. Reset removes the upper overlay;
the lower one stays on screen, gets focus back and keeps receiving
input, although the extension instance that created it is gone. A hidden
overlay (`handle.setHidden(true)`) also stays in the stack and can be
shown again by stale code.
Blindly clearing the whole stack is not correct either: pi opens its own
overlays (the header logo easter egg in `components/easter-egg-3d.ts`).
With the old code, a reset while the easter egg was topmost removed the
easter egg and left the extension overlay.
## Fix
`showExtensionCustom` records each overlay it opens in
`extensionOverlays` (handle -> removal function). The same function
serves `done()` and `resetExtensionUI()`: it hides the overlay, clears
its blocked program status (#11851) and disposes its component. Deleting
the map entry first makes a second call a no-op, so a late `done()`
after reset does not dispose twice. Reset calls it for every recorded
overlay, newest first, including hidden ones. Overlays not opened by
extensions are left alone. This replaces the separate
`blockingOverlaySources` set and reset loop added in #11851.
Pending `ctx.ui.custom()` promises of removed overlays stay unsettled,
matching how reset already treats inline dialogs.
## Testing
- New regression test in `test/interactive-mode-status.test.ts`: a
pi-internal overlay plus three extension overlays (one hidden), then
reset. Checks that the extension overlays are gone and disposed, the
internal overlay remains and receives input. Fails without the fix.
- `test/interactive-mode-status.test.ts`,
`test/interactive-mode-extension-dialogs.test.ts`,
`test/interactive-mode-paste.test.ts`,
`test/suite/regressions/5943-session-start-notify.test.ts` pass.
- `npm run check` clean.

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
