- Extended recency filter support to Brave search provider alongside Perplexity.
- Implemented BraveProvider class with API integration, response mapping, and parameter validation.
- Added helper functions for recency mapping, result clamping, and snippet building in Brave provider.
- Restructured documentation from user-facing guides to technical implementation references across 18 files in packages/coding-agent/docs.
- Reorganized compaction.md, config-usage.md, custom-tools.md, and extensions.md to emphasize architecture and integration patterns over step-by-step tutorials.

- Refined session.md, session-tree-plan.md, skills.md, tree.md, and tui.md to clarify runtime behavior, discovery mechanisms, and technical contracts.
- Added pagination support for fetching GitHub issue comments, allowing retrieval of all comments beyond the initial 50-comment limit.
- Added comment count display showing partial results when not all comments could be fetched (e.g., '5 of 10 comments').
- Changed GitHub issue comment fetching to use paginated API requests with 100 comments per page instead of single request with 50-comment limit.
- Extracted comment fetching logic into dedicated fetchGitHubIssueComments function for improved code organization.
- Added GitHubIssueComment interface to provide type safety for comment data structures.
- Updated SMOL_MODEL_PRIORITY to include additional model variants (gpt-5.3-spark, cerebras/zai-glm-4.7, haiku-4-5, haiku-4.5) for improved fast model discovery.
- Updated SLOW_MODEL_PRIORITY to include additional model variants (gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.3, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1, opus-4.6, opus-4-6, opus-4.5, opus-4-5, opus-4.1, opus-4-1) for improved comprehensive model discovery.
- Fixed system prompt to enforce tool calls on every turn until task completion, preventing premature stopping before turn finish.
- Reorganized contract and diligence sections to clarify inviolable rules and completion requirements.
- Consolidated redundant completion guidance and removed duplicate prime directive language.
- Clarified contract rule 2 to explicitly require at least one tool call per turn unless task is complete.
- Added new contract rule 3 forbidding standalone progress updates without task continuation.
- Renumbered subsequent contract rules 3-7 to 4-8 to accommodate new rule.
- Reinforced critical section guidance with same tool call requirement for turn validity.
Hashline prefixes (LINE:HASH|content) in read/grep output exist solely to
support the hashline edit mode. Agents that don't have the edit tool
(e.g. explore, plan, reviewer) gain nothing from them — they just waste
tokens and add noise.
resolveFileDisplayMode now takes a session-like object with an optional
hasEditTool flag. When false, hashlines are suppressed regardless of
settings. ToolSession gains hasEditTool (set from toolNames in the SDK),
and AgentSession exposes it as a getter over the tool registry.
- Restructured execution procedure guidance to emphasize scope assessment and continuous tool-driven progress over planning-first approach.
- Updated task tracking instructions to prohibit metadata-only turns and require immediate completion marking of todo items.
- Clarified parallel execution guidance to distinguish between genuine parallelization and sequential work, with explicit criteria for Task tool usage.
- Modified output style requirements to mandate stating intent before tool calls and reordered style constraints for clarity.
- Reinforced requirement that every turn must include at least one tool call advancing the deliverable, with explicit failure condition for planning-only turns.
- Added prime directive section emphasizing completion of requested output as primary objective.
- Changed release info fetching from GitHub API to npm registry to avoid unauthenticated rate limiting.
- Constructed deterministic GitHub release download URLs instead of relying on API response.
- Added Z.AI web search provider with MCP integration for remote web search capabilities.
- Added 'zai' as a selectable web search provider option in settings and CLI.
- Added Z.AI to the automatic provider fallback chain for web search after Gemini and Codex.
- Implemented ZaiProvider class with support for multiple Z.AI API response formats and retry logic.
- Added comprehensive error handling and response parsing for Z.AI MCP endpoint integration.
- Fixed welcome screen layout to gracefully handle small terminal widths and prevent rendering errors on narrow displays.
- Fixed welcome screen title truncation to prevent overflow when content exceeds available width.
- Improved welcome screen responsiveness to dynamically show or hide the right column based on available terminal width.
- Fixes deferred `--model` resolution to match extension-provided models before fallback
- Fixes CLI `--api-key` handling to support deferred model selection
- Adds OAuth provider support for extensions with source-scoped registration cleanup
- Adds custom API registration helpers with built-in collision checks
- Expands `Api` type to support extension-defined identifiers
- Adds tests for runtime provider registration and model selection
packages/ai:
- feat: added custom API provider registry (api-registry.ts)
- feat: stream() and streamSimple() check custom registry before built-in switch
packages/coding-agent:
- feat: added registerProvider() to ExtensionAPI for registering custom model providers
- feat: added ProviderConfig and ProviderModelConfig types
- feat: ModelRegistry.registerProvider() registers models and custom streaming functions
- feat: extension loader queues provider registrations, runner processes them on initialize
This enables extensions to register custom LLM providers with their own streaming
implementations. For example, a Vertex AI Claude extension can register a provider
that uses @anthropic-ai/vertex-sdk for Google Cloud ADC authentication:
pi.registerProvider("google-vertex-claude", {
baseUrl: "https://us-east5-aiplatform.googleapis.com",
apiKey: "GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT",
api: "vertex-claude-api",
models: [...],
streamSimple: streamVertexClaude,
});
Backported from pi-mono's extension provider registration system.

- Enhanced hashline reference parsing to accept optional leading whitespace and arrow prefixes (>>> or >>), allowing more flexible formatting of hashline references.
- Strengthened type safety in hashline edit formatting by adding runtime type guards and defensive property access for malformed edit objects.
- Fixed skill discovery to extract skill names from directory paths when frontmatter name is missing, improving fallback behavior.
- Updated ajv dependency from ^8.17.1 to ^8.18.0.
- Added animated microphone icon with color cycling during voice recording and transcription states.
- Added support for discovering skills via symbolic links in the skills directory.
- Changed STT status messages to display via state change callbacks instead of dedicated status line segment.
- Removed dedicated STT status line segment in favor of animated cursor-based feedback.

New files: packages/coding-agent/src/stt/{downloader,index,recorder,
setup,stt-controller,transcribe.py,transcriber}.ts
Replace single `theme` setting with `theme.dark` and `theme.light`.
Auto-detection is always on — COLORFGBG determines which slot to use.
On SIGWINCH, re-check COLORFGBG and switch themes if background changed.
Old `theme` setting auto-migrated using luminance detection.
