- Updated OpenAI completions parameterization to honor `disableReasoning` on effort-based compatible models by sending the minimum supported effort.
- Expanded commit and title generation token budgets so reasoning models can return output after internal thinking while non-reasoning calls keep existing limits.
- Switched title generation to request a `set_title` tool call, added extraction from tool-call arguments, and updated tests for the new behavior.
- Converted systemPrompt APIs and state types to ordered `string[]` across agent, AI, and coding-agent surfaces.
- Added `normalizeSystemPrompts` and applied it to context normalization before building provider request payloads.
- Updated AI providers to emit separate normalized prompt blocks/messages instead of a single merged system prompt.
- Removed dedicated `projectPrompt` state and remapped that context into system-context buckets in session, dump, and token accounting.
- Aligned tests and changelogs to pass and assert `systemPrompt` as arrays with ordered prompt semantics.
- Added canonical model equivalence types, cache helpers, and registry APIs for provider variant lookup.
- Changed model resolution to apply canonical ID overrides/excludes with provider order before fallback matching.
- Added canonical and provider model views in list-models and selector UI with canonical sorting/persistence.
- Updated role/model persistence to store selectors while runtime now resolves concrete canonical-backed provider models.
- Extracted prompt rendering and formatting utilities from coding-agent to centralized pi-utils package with new API surface (prompt.render, prompt.format, prompt.registerHelper).
- Migrated parseFrontmatter utility from coding-agent to pi-utils package; updated 8 files to import from @oh-my-pi/pi-utils.
- Removed 170-line prompt-format.ts module and consolidated 192 lines of Handlebars helper registrations into pi-utils prompt module.
- Updated 60+ files across coding-agent and typescript-edit-benchmark to use new prompt.render() and prompt.format() API from pi-utils.
- Simplified prompt-templates.ts by delegating core functionality to pi-utils while retaining custom helper registrations (jtdToTypeScript, jsonStringify, etc.).
