- Migrated environment variable access from direct process.env to centralized getEnv() utility function across all packages.
- Renamed environment variable prefix from OMP_ to PI_ throughout codebase (e.g., OMP_CODING_AGENT_DIR -> PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR).

- Updated CI/CD build configuration to use PI_COMPILED flag instead of OMP_COMPILED.
- Changed venvPath property in PythonRuntime from nullable (string | null) to optional (string | undefined).
- Added Python prelude caching to improve startup performance by caching helper functions and module discovery results.
- Added OMP_DEBUG_STARTUP environment variable for detailed startup stage tracing across initialization pipeline.
- Changed Python kernel initialization to require shared gateway mode, removing support for local kernel gateway startup.
- Improved error handling in shared gateway acquisition with automatic retries on 5xx status codes.
- Added repro-stuck.ts script for reproducing and debugging rare CLI hang issues with Chrome DevTools integration.
- Added trace-loader.ts preload script for tracing module resolution during startup diagnostics.
