pi v0.82.0

New Features

• Constrained tool sampling — Tools can prefer or require strict JSON Schema sampling or use OpenAI Lark/regex grammars, with model capability metadata preventing unsupported requests. See Constrained Sampling for Tools.
• OpenRouter and Kimi Code sign-in — Use /login to authorize OpenRouter or a Kimi Code subscription without manually configuring API keys. See 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 and RPC bash events.

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.
• Added inherited supportsGrammarTools and supportsStrictTools compatibility flags, expanded supportsStrictMode coverage, and generated model capability metadata to gate constrained sampling.
• Added inherited Kimi Code subscription OAuth login for the Kimi For Coding provider, including device authorization and automatic token refresh (#6935 by @zaycruz).
• Added inherited OpenRouter OAuth PKCE login through /login, minting a user-controlled API key. See OpenRouter (#6927 by @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.
• Added streaming bash_execution_update events for direct RPC bash commands, correlated with request IDs. See RPC bash events (#6971 by @ananthakumaran).

Changed

• Changed inherited generated model catalogs to expose only provider-verified reasoning effort levels from models.dev (#6928 by @davidbrai).

Fixed

• Fixed inherited DNS lookup failures such as getaddrinfo, ENOTFOUND, and EAI_AGAIN to trigger automatic assistant retries (#6946 by @christianklotz).
• Fixed inherited OpenRouter Anthropic cache breakpoints to advance through tool results and enabled cache control for ~anthropic/*-latest aliases (#6941 by @mteam88).
• Fixed inherited OpenAI Codex WebSocket sessions to retry once without a missing previous-response continuation after previous_response_not_found errors (#6955 by @davidbrai).
• Fixed TUI debug and crash logs to respect custom agent directories instead of always writing under ~/.pi/agent (#6958 by @davidbrai).
• Fixed slow Ctrl+G external-editor startup when the system temporary directory contains many entries (#6903 by @christianklotz).
• Fixed startup resource display to preserve relative paths for sibling npm extensions loaded by a package (#6964 by @davidbrai).
• Fixed compaction and branch-summary requests to use fresh routing session IDs with prompt caching disabled where supported (#6618 by @tmustier).
• Fixed explicit self-updates when PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK is set (#6977).
• Fixed scoped model IDs containing brackets to resolve as literal exact matches before glob matching (#6210).
• Fixed inherited OpenAI and Anthropic provider retry waits to honor abort signals and configured delay limits (#6980 by @petrroll).
• Fixed fresh installs from preferring bundled model catalogs over newer remote catalogs because package file mtimes were newer (#7016 by @davidbrai).
• Fixed inherited editor scroll indicators overflowing narrow terminals (#7015 by @christianklotz).
• Fixed llama.cpp models to use the loaded context window as their output token limit instead of capping it at 16K (#7034 by @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).
• Fixed /copy on Wayland to fall back to X11 or OSC 52 when wl-copy fails (#7009 by @rkfshakti).
• Fixed /model to reload updated models.json configuration when opening the model picker (#6999).
