# Changelog
## [0.83.0] - 2026-07-29
### New Features
- **Credential export for external clients** — `pi auth print-api-key` and `pi auth print-bearer-token` export configured credentials with automatic OAuth refresh and minimum-validity enforcement.
- **Headless OpenRouter sign-in** — Complete `/login` over SSH by pasting the redirect URL or authorization code when the loopback callback is unavailable. See [OpenRouter](docs/providers.md#openrouter).
- **Claude Opus 5 on GitHub Copilot** — Use Claude Opus 5 through GitHub Copilot with adaptive thinking and a 1M context window. See [GitHub Copilot](docs/providers.md#github-copilot).
### Breaking Changes
- Upgraded bundled TypeBox aliases to 1.3.7, removing deprecated APIs including `Type.Base`, `Type.Awaited`, `Type.Promise`, `Type.AsyncIterator`, `Type.Iterator`, `Type.Options`, and `Value.Mutate`, while fixing compiled validation of nullable array tool arguments. Extensions using removed APIs must migrate to supported TypeBox APIs. See [Package Dependencies](docs/packages.md#dependencies) ([#7243](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7243) by [@petrroll](https://github.com/petrroll)).
### Added
- Added `pi auth print-api-key` and `pi auth print-bearer-token` commands for exporting configured credentials to external clients, including automatic OAuth refresh and configurable minimum token validity ([#7168](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7168)).
- Exposed the session's resolved model scope as `ctx.scopedModels` to extensions. See [Extension Context](docs/extensions.md#ctxmodelregistry--ctxmodel--ctxthinkinglevel--ctxscopedmodels) ([#7191](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7191) by [@pungggi](https://github.com/pungggi), [#7215](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7215)).
- Added inherited per-request `fetch` injection for supported text and image provider transports.
- Added the inherited `"pending"` stop reason for partial streaming messages. See [Custom Provider Stream Pattern](docs/custom-provider.md#stream-pattern) ([#7151](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7151) by [@lucasmeijer](https://github.com/lucasmeijer)).
- Added inherited raw provider stop reasons across Google, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Mistral, and OpenAI streams; unmapped terminal reasons now surface as provider errors instead of successful stops ([#7272](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7272)).
- Added manual redirect URL and authorization-code entry to OpenRouter login for remote and headless environments. See [OpenRouter](docs/providers.md#openrouter) ([#7114](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7114) by [@rgarcia](https://github.com/rgarcia)).
- Added inherited Claude Opus 5 support for GitHub Copilot with adaptive thinking and a 1M context window. See [GitHub Copilot](docs/providers.md#github-copilot) ([#7158](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7158) by [@jay-aye-see-kay](https://github.com/jay-aye-see-kay)).
### Changed
- Changed inherited OAuth credential resolution to refresh tokens with less than five minutes of validity remaining instead of waiting until expiration ([#7168](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7168)).
### Fixed
- Added a status line when the tool output expansion is toggled ([#7180](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7180)).
- Fixed file-backed `SYSTEM.md` and `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` prompts being omitted from the interactive startup context listing. See [System Prompt Files](docs/usage.md#system-prompt-files) ([#7096](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7096)).
- Fixed context files loading twice when a linked Git worktree is nested under its main repository. See [Context Files](docs/usage.md#context-files) ([#7221](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7221) by [@arajkumar](https://github.com/arajkumar)).
- Fixed llama.cpp streamed responses reporting zero token usage and leaving session context accounting empty. See [llama.cpp](docs/llama-cpp.md) ([#7258](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7258) by [@SteveImmanuel](https://github.com/SteveImmanuel)).
- Fixed session replacement and committed tree navigation during an active response to abort and persist the outgoing turn instead of leaving dangling tool calls. See [Sessions](docs/usage.md#sessions) ([#7022](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7022) by [@tmustier](https://github.com/tmustier)).
- Fixed failed Git package installs leaving partial directories that blocked clean retries. See [Install and Manage](docs/packages.md#install-and-manage) ([#7210](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7210) by [@haoqixu](https://github.com/haoqixu)).
- Fixed the `/model` selector retaining a stale selection while filtering instead of highlighting the top match ([#7211](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7211) by [@christianbasch](https://github.com/christianbasch)).
- Fixed direct RPC bash commands bypassing extension `user_bash` handlers. See [User Bash Events](docs/extensions.md#user-bash-events) ([#7214](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7214)).
- Fixed skills, prompts, and themes losing package source metadata after extensions reload resources. See [Resource Events](docs/extensions.md#resource-events) ([#6968](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6968)).
- Fixed cancellation of concurrently running user bash commands so every active command is aborted ([#7103](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7103) by [@yzhg1983](https://github.com/yzhg1983)).
- Fixed duplicate messages appearing when extensions switch sessions during interactive startup ([#7110](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7110) by [@yzhg1983](https://github.com/yzhg1983)).
- Fixed inherited Qwen Token Plan reasoning models to send their service-specific thinking controls and supported reasoning-effort levels ([#6951](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6951), [#6998](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6998)).
- Fixed inherited Z.AI output limits being sent through an unsupported parameter. See [Providers](docs/providers.md) ([#7174](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7174) by [@HyeokjaeLee](https://github.com/HyeokjaeLee)).
- Fixed explicitly configured Amazon Bedrock profiles being overridden by ambient AWS access keys. See [Amazon Bedrock](docs/providers.md#amazon-bedrock) ([#7176](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7176) by [@christianbasch](https://github.com/christianbasch)).
- Fixed inherited image fallback paths overflowing narrow terminals, shortened home-directory paths, and made absolute paths clickable when terminal hyperlinks are available ([#7262](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7262)).
- Fixed inherited OpenAI-compatible tool calls losing their function arguments when malformed deltas also contain an empty `custom` object ([#7288](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7288) by [@sunnyyoung](https://github.com/sunnyyoung)).
## [0.82.1] - 2026-07-25
### New Features
- **Claude Opus 5** — Available on Anthropic and Amazon Bedrock with adaptive thinking (including `xhigh`), inference profiles, and prompt caching. See [Providers](docs/providers.md#api-keys).
- **Anthropic gateway bearer auth** — `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` authenticates against Anthropic-compatible gateways that require `Authorization: Bearer`, including compaction and branch summaries. See [Environment Variables or Auth File](docs/providers.md#environment-variables-or-auth-file).
- **Faster, more resilient model catalogs** — pi.dev catalogs revalidate with `If-None-Match` so unchanged providers answer with an empty `304`, and llama.cpp models stay listed across restarts. See [llama.cpp](docs/llama-cpp.md).
### Added
- Exposed the `outputPad` setting to custom message renderers. See [Extensions](docs/extensions.md) ([#7045](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7045) by [@xl0](https://github.com/xl0)).
- Added inherited `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` bearer authentication for Anthropic-compatible gateways. See [Providers](docs/providers.md#environment-variables-or-auth-file) ([#5871](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/5871)).
- Added inherited Claude Opus 5 support for Anthropic and Amazon Bedrock with adaptive thinking, inference profiles, prompt caching, and preserved AWS validation messages ([#7081](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7081) by [@unexge](https://github.com/unexge), [#7083](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7083) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
### Changed
- Changed pi.dev model catalog refreshes to revalidate with `If-None-Match`, so unchanged provider catalogs answer with an empty `304` instead of a full download.
- Changed inherited Radius OAuth device authorization, token exchange, and refresh requests to use the configured gateway directly.
- Changed inherited model loading errors to append the underlying cause, so auth failures such as `OAuth refresh failed for openai-codex` report the provider response instead of a bare wrapper message.
### Fixed
- Fixed compaction and branch summaries for providers whose authentication resolves entirely to request headers ([#5871](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/5871))
- Fixed unavailable scoped models being hidden from `/models`, allowing them to be removed without editing settings manually ([#6949](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6949), [#7032](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7032) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
- Fixed startup context file discovery to skip directories that match context file names such as `AGENTS.md`, which produced `EISDIR` warnings ([#7106](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7106) by [@mrexodia](https://github.com/mrexodia)).
- Fixed the llama.cpp extension to persist its model catalog, so llama.cpp models stay listed before the first successful refresh. See [llama.cpp](docs/llama-cpp.md) ([#7072](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7072) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
## [0.82.0] - 2026-07-24
### New Features

- **OpenRouter and Kimi Code sign-in** — Use `/login` to authorize OpenRouter or a Kimi Code subscription without manually configuring API keys. See [OpenRouter](docs/providers.md#openrouter).
- **Session-aware, streaming bash integrations** — Bash tools receive current session/model metadata, while direct RPC bash commands stream correlated output. See [Bash Tool Session Environment](docs/environment-variables.md#bash-tool-session-environment) and [RPC bash events](docs/rpc.md#bash_execution_update).
### Added
- Added inherited `Tool.constrainedSampling` with strict JSON Schema (`prefer`/`require`) and OpenAI Lark/regex grammar variants across OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, and Mistral. See [Constrained Sampling for Tools](../ai/README.md#constrained-sampling-for-tools).

- Added inherited OpenRouter OAuth PKCE login through `/login`, minting a user-controlled API key. See [OpenRouter](docs/providers.md#openrouter) ([#6927](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6927) by [@rsaryev](https://github.com/rsaryev)).
- Exposed `PI_SESSION_ID`, `PI_SESSION_FILE`, `PI_PROVIDER`, `PI_MODEL`, and `PI_REASONING_LEVEL` to commands run by built-in and factory-created bash tools. See [Bash Tool Session Environment](docs/environment-variables.md#bash-tool-session-environment).
- Added streaming `bash_execution_update` events for direct RPC bash commands, correlated with request IDs. See [RPC bash events](docs/rpc.md#bash_execution_update) ([#6971](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6971) by [@ananthakumaran](https://github.com/ananthakumaran)).
### Changed

- Fixed inherited OpenRouter Anthropic cache breakpoints to advance through tool results and enabled cache control for `~anthropic/*-latest` aliases ([#6941](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6941) by [@mteam88](https://github.com/mteam88)).
- Fixed inherited OpenAI Codex WebSocket sessions to retry once without a missing previous-response continuation after `previous_response_not_found` errors ([#6955](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6955) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed TUI debug and crash logs to respect custom agent directories instead of always writing under `~/.pi/agent` ([#6958](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6958) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed slow Ctrl+G external-editor startup when the system temporary directory contains many entries ([#6903](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6903) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
- Fixed startup resource display to preserve relative paths for sibling npm extensions loaded by a package ([#6964](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6964) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed compaction and branch-summary requests to use fresh routing session IDs with prompt caching disabled where supported ([#6618](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6618) by [@tmustier](https://github.com/tmustier)).
- Fixed explicit self-updates when `PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK` is set ([#6977](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6977)).
- Fixed scoped model IDs containing brackets to resolve as literal exact matches before glob matching ([#6210](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6210)).
- Fixed inherited OpenAI and Anthropic provider retry waits to honor abort signals and configured delay limits ([#6980](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6980) by [@petrroll](https://github.com/petrroll)).
- Fixed fresh installs from preferring bundled model catalogs over newer remote catalogs because package file mtimes were newer ([#7016](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7016) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed inherited editor scroll indicators overflowing narrow terminals ([#7015](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7015) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
- Fixed llama.cpp models to use the loaded context window as their output token limit instead of capping it at 16K ([#7034](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7034) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
- Fixed release source archives to include the generated provider model data used to build standalone binaries.
- Updated the packaged `protobufjs` dependency to 7.6.5 to address GHSA-j3f2-48v5-ccww ([#7005](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7005)).
- Fixed `/copy` on Wayland to fall back to X11 or OSC 52 when `wl-copy` fails ([#7009](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7009) by [@rkfshakti](https://github.com/rkfshakti)).
- Fixed `/model` to reload updated `models.json` configuration when opening the model picker ([#6999](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6999)).
## [0.81.1] - 2026-07-21
### New Features
- **Verifiable release source archives** — GitHub releases now include deterministic, checksummed source archives with instructions for rebuilding standalone binaries. See [Building standalone binaries from release source](../../README.md#building-standalone-binaries-from-release-source).
- **Resilient compaction and branch summaries** — Transient provider failures now follow the configured retry policy, with retry lifecycle events available to interactive, JSON, RPC, and SDK consumers. See [Compaction & Branch Summarization](docs/compaction.md) and [RPC retry events](docs/rpc.md#summarization_retry_scheduled--summarization_retry_attempt_start--summarization_retry_finished).
### Added

### Fixed
- Updated the packaged `brace-expansion` dependency to 5.0.7 ([#6896](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6896) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed persisted remote model catalogs from overriding newer bundled catalogs after an upgrade.
- Fixed inherited stored API-key credentials to apply their provider-scoped `env` values, including Amazon Bedrock profiles ([#6864](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6864) by [@cristinaponcela](https://github.com/cristinaponcela)).
- Fixed inherited OpenAI-compatible cross-provider replay to keep tool call IDs unique when multiple calls share a provider call ID ([#6854](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6854) by [@cristinaponcela](https://github.com/cristinaponcela)).
- Fixed inherited Kimi K3 thinking levels to expose low, high, and max, and normalized the `k2p7` alias to `kimi-for-coding`.

## [0.80.10] - 2026-07-16
### New Features
- **Kimi Coding thinking compatibility** — Kimi Coding models now use adaptive thinking correctly; K3 exposes its supported `max` level and supports replaying empty-signature thinking blocks. See [Kimi For Coding setup](docs/providers.md#api-keys) and [Model Options](docs/usage.md#model-options).
### Fixed
- Fixed inherited Kimi Coding requests to use Anthropic adaptive thinking effort without token budgets, and enabled empty thinking signatures for K3 and `kimi-for-coding`.
- Fixed inherited Kimi K3 pricing metadata for Moonshot AI and Moonshot AI China.
- Fixed inherited Kimi Coding K3 thinking-level metadata to expose only the supported `max` level ([#6737](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6737)).
- Fixed inherited catalog generation restoring xAI models removed in 0.80.9 ([#6736](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6736)).
## [0.80.9] - 2026-07-16
### New Features
- **Kimi K3 and deferred tool loading** — Use Kimi K3 across built-in providers, including progressive extension tool activation through Kimi’s native protocol. See [Dynamic Tool Loading](docs/extensions.md#dynamic-tool-loading), [OpenAI Compatibility](docs/models.md#openai-compatibility), and the [`kimi-deferred-tools.ts`](examples/extensions/kimi-deferred-tools.ts) example.
### Added
- Added inherited Kimi K3 support for Kimi Coding, Moonshot AI, Moonshot AI China, OpenRouter, and Vercel AI Gateway.
- Added Kimi deferred tool loading for extension-driven tool activation. See [Dynamic Tool Loading](docs/extensions.md#dynamic-tool-loading), [OpenAI Compatibility](docs/models.md#openai-compatibility), and the [`kimi-deferred-tools.ts`](examples/extensions/kimi-deferred-tools.ts) example.
### Changed
- Changed xAI login to use a prefilled device-authorization link labeled “Sign in with SuperGrok or X Premium,” and changed the default xAI model to Grok 4.5 ([#6734](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6734) by [@Jaaneek](https://github.com/Jaaneek)).
### Fixed
- Fixed inherited Kimi K3 output limits for Vercel AI Gateway and OpenRouter models.
- Fixed cloning or forking a session before its first assistant response to explain that the session must be saved first.
### Removed
- Removed Grok 3, Grok 3 Fast, Grok 4.20 variants, and Grok Code Fast 1 from the built-in xAI model catalog ([#6734](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6734) by [@Jaaneek](https://github.com/Jaaneek)).
## [0.80.8] - 2026-07-16
### New Features
- **Unified model runtime and provider authentication** — `ModelRuntime` centralizes model configuration, provider-owned `/login`, and dynamic provider catalogs. See [Providers](docs/providers.md).
- **Live model catalog refresh** — `/model` refreshes configured providers in the background, and `pi update --models` forces an immediate refresh. See [Install and Manage](docs/packages.md#install-and-manage).
- **xAI device-code OAuth and Grok 4.5 Responses support** — Sign in to xAI with a device code and use Grok 4.5 with low, medium, or high thinking. See [xAI](docs/providers.md#xai-grokx-subscription).
### Breaking Changes
- Replaced the SDK's `CreateAgentSessionOptions.authStorage` and `modelRegistry` options with the async `modelRuntime` option. `AuthStorage` and its storage backends are no longer exported; use `ModelRuntime` (or a custom pi-ai `CredentialStore`), or `readStoredCredential()` for one-off reads of auth.json.
- Removed redundant `ModelRuntime.getAll()`, `find()`, `getSnapshot()`, and `getAuthOptions()` projections. Use the pi-ai `Models` methods `getModels()`, `getModel()`, `getProviders()`, and `checkAuth()` directly.
- Replaced SDK request-auth assembly through `ModelRegistry.getApiKeyAndHeaders()` with `ModelRuntime.getAuth()`. Passing a provider ID returns provider-scoped auth; passing a model also resolves built-in, `models.json`, and extension model headers.
- Changed extension-facing `ModelRegistry.refresh()` from synchronous `void` to `Promise<void>` because `models.json` loading is asynchronous. Extensions must await it before making synchronous registry reads.
- Moved canonical dynamic catalog refresh to async `ModelRuntime.refresh()`/pi-ai `Models.refresh()`. Legacy extension OAuth `modifyModels` remains supported as a synchronous compatibility projection after credential initialization.
### Added
- Added `ModelRuntime` as the canonical async SDK and internal model/auth facade while preserving the synchronous extension-facing `ModelRegistry` API. `ModelRuntime.create()` accepts any pi-ai `CredentialStore` through its `credentials` option.
- Added provider-owned `/login` discovery directly from registered pi-ai providers, including ambient auth status and informational links.
- Added file-backed dynamic catalogs in `models-store.json`, per-provider pi.dev catalog overlays, and Radius gateway support including offline migration from legacy credential-cached catalogs.
- Added extension provider `refreshModels(context)` support for dynamic model discovery with optional provider-controlled persistence.
- Added `pi update --models` to force an immediate model catalog refresh without updating pi or extensions.
- Added inherited xAI device-code OAuth login and Grok 4.5 OpenAI Responses support, with low, medium, and high thinking levels ([#6651](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6651) by [@Jaaneek](https://github.com/Jaaneek)).
### Changed
- Changed `ModelRuntime` to compose built-in providers, immutable `models.json` configuration, and extension overlays through ad-hoc pi-ai provider methods.
- Changed `ModelRuntime` to own final request assembly: `getAuth(model)` includes configured model headers, stream methods resolve auth once, and `before_provider_headers` runs as the Models-only header transform before provider dispatch.
- Changed `/model` to render the current model snapshot immediately, refresh configured providers in the background, and update the open selector with partial results or timeout errors.
### Fixed
- Fixed configured-provider catalog refresh to parse pi.dev's model-ID keyed responses, throttle checks to once per four hours, send the versioned pi user agent, treat unimplemented routes as unavailable overlays, and show concise refresh status in `/model`.
- Fixed adjacent assistant thinking blocks to render as one thinking section.
- Fixed inherited OpenAI Codex session IDs longer than 64 characters to meet the API limit ([#6630](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/issues/6630)).
- Fixed inherited terminal output to normalize tab characters consistently ([#6697](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6697) by [@xz-dev](https://github.com/xz-dev)).
- Fixed the Windows terminal title after checking npm packages ([#6629](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/issues/6629)).
- Fixed Bun standalone binaries to bundle OAuth adapters for interactive logins.
## [0.80.7] - 2026-07-14
### Breaking Changes
- Removed the `openai-responses` `compat.sendSessionIdHeader` flag from `models.json`. Session-affinity behavior is now controlled by `compat.sessionAffinityFormat` (`"openai"`, `"openai-nosession"`, or `"openrouter"`). Replace `sendSessionIdHeader: false` with `sessionAffinityFormat: "openai-nosession"` ([#6496](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6496) by [@petrroll](https://github.com/petrroll)).
### New Features
- **Cache-friendly dynamic tool loading** - Extensions can add tools during execution while supported Anthropic and OpenAI Responses models preserve prompt-cache prefixes. See [Dynamic Tool Loading](docs/extensions.md#dynamic-tool-loading).
- **Message copy shortcut** - `Ctrl+X` copies the last assistant message in the transcript or the selected message in `/tree`, making older and branched messages directly copyable. See [Display and Message Queue](docs/keybindings.md#display-and-message-queue).

- Fixed inherited Anthropic-compatible proxies that omit `usage` from `message_delta` events ([#6611](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6611) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed inherited OpenCode OpenAI Responses models to omit the unsupported `session-id` header while preserving other cache-affinity data ([#6645](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/pull/6645) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
- Fixed system prompt cache invalidation across dates by removing the current date from the default prompt ([#6621](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6621)).
## [0.80.6] - 2026-07-09
### New Features
- **`max` thinking level** - New opt-in thinking level above `xhigh`, natively supported on GPT-5.6 and adaptive Claude models, available across CLI (`--thinking max`), SDK, RPC, and model selection. Custom themes can define `thinkingMax`. See [CLI Reference](docs/usage.md#cli-reference).
- **Input-based pricing tiers** - Request-wide input-token pricing tiers for accurate long-context cost accounting (e.g. GPT-5.4/5.5/5.6 long-context rates), also configurable for custom models in `models.json` and `modelOverrides`. See [Model Configuration](docs/models.md#model-configuration).
### Added
- Added the opt-in `max` thinking level across CLI, SDK, RPC, model selection, and themes. Custom themes can define `thinkingMax`; existing themes fall back to `thinkingXhigh`.

- Fixed inherited GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 long-context cost accounting while retaining the intentional 272K default context limit for models that require an explicit override.
- Fixed inherited GPT-5.6 metadata to keep direct OpenAI requests in the 272K short-context tier while exposing the Codex backend's 372K context window with long-context pricing, and removed the nonexistent bare `gpt-5.6` alias.
- Fixed inherited Anthropic message conversion to preserve thinking blocks with empty thinking text but a valid signature instead of dropping them, avoiding thinking-block errors on newer Claude models ([#6457](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/6457) by [@davidbrai](https://github.com/davidbrai)).
## [0.80.5] - 2026-07-09

- Fixed Xiaomi Token Plan model metadata to follow the upstream models.dev token-plan catalogs, removing unsupported `mimo-v2-omni` variants ([#6204](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6204)).
- Fixed startup model selection to skip unauthenticated saved defaults so configured local custom models can be selected instead ([#6231](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6231)).
- Fixed the question extension example to run question tool calls sequentially so multiple questions in one assistant turn remain answerable ([#6189](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6189)).
- Fixed `/login` to report auth storage persistence failures instead of claiming credentials were saved when `auth.json` is locked ([#6223](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6223)).
- Fixed split-turn compaction to serialize summary requests so single-concurrency local providers do not fail with 429 errors ([#5536](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/5536)).
- Fixed compaction retained-token budgeting to count context-visible custom messages ([#6326](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6326)).

- Fixed the edit tool schema to allow model-invented extra replacement fields instead of rejecting otherwise valid edits ([#6278](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6278)).
- Fixed new session resets to clear cached label timestamps ([#6354](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6354)).
- Fixed auto-retry for Bun fetch socket-drop errors reported as `socket connection was closed`, so transient provider disconnects do not end headless runs without retrying ([#6431](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6431)).
- Fixed `models.json` `modelOverrides` to apply to extension-registered provider models ([#6367](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/6367)).
