vault writes now rated write-tier and plan-mode enforced; .tar.gz rewrites keep gzip, are atomic, and write through symlinks; CRLF conflict detection works; conflict twins only invalidated when truly stale; ask discloses timeout auto-selection in result and transcript; todo rejects duplicate ids and stops persisting half-applied batches; auto-generated guard validates against mtime+size; ACP writes run post-write bookkeeping; irc errors set isError.
- Added `ToolTier`, `ToolApproval`, and `ToolApprovalDecision` types and exported approval APIs.
- Updated approval-mode options from `auto|prompt|custom` to `always-ask|write|yolo` and defaulted mode to `yolo`.
- Changed approval resolution to apply per-tool decisions first, then mode-tier limits, with legacy-mode migration.
- Assigned read/write/exec `approval` and approval-detail prompts across built-in, custom, extension, and MCP tools.
- Replaced all StringEnum(...) usages with z.enum([...]) across tools, examples, and tests.
- Removed StringEnum re-export from @oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent public API.
- Condensed verbose tool parameter descriptions to minimal lowercase phrases.
- Renamed AuthCredentialStore to SqliteAuthCredentialStore at usage sites.
- Added canonical `pi.zod` schema API exports and removed TypeBox package exports/imports.
- Migrated Tool schema typing from TypeBox to shared `TSchema`/Zod flow with legacy TypeBox compatibility.
- Updated AI provider adapters and MCP/agent builders to convert tool params through `toolWireSchema()`.
- Reworked schema validation from AJV to Zod-safe parsing with `fromTypeBox`, `toolWireSchema`, and meta schema checks.
- Added optional `loadMode` and `summary` fields to `AgentTool` and related type declarations.
- Added `loadMode` and `summary` metadata to built-in tool classes for discoverable/essential behavior.
- Replaced `BUILTIN_TOOL_METADATA` with per-tool fields in discovery code paths.
- Updated `search_tool_bm25` and discovery indexing to use each tool's `summary` text.
- Updated discovery tests to validate tool `loadMode` and summary completeness.
- Updated `formatMatchLine` to emit `*` for matched lines, a leading space for context, and a `|` anchor/content separator.
- Revised grep/hashline mismatch messages and prompts to describe the new marker and separator format.
- Aligned affected atom and hashline tests with the updated match-line prefixes and separators.
- Added `AgentRegistry` singleton with session registration/unregistration and IRC routing metadata for peer lookups.
- Added IRC messaging prompts and tooling with `irc.enabled` setting, `list/send` tool paths, and peer roster rendering.
- Changed `/btw` to session-side `runEphemeralTurn`, added background IRC exchange flushing, and fixed empty-input checks.
- Added unit tests for IRC tool and BtwController ephemeral behavior, including disabled, busy, not-found, and abort cases.
