Custom tools with session lifecycle, examples for hooks and tools

- Custom tools: TypeScript modules that extend pi with new tools
  - Custom TUI rendering via renderCall/renderResult
  - User interaction via pi.ui (select, confirm, input, notify)
  - Session lifecycle via onSession callback for state reconstruction
  - Examples: todo.ts, question.ts, hello.ts

- Hook examples: permission-gate, git-checkpoint, protected-paths

- Session lifecycle centralized in AgentSession
  - Works across all modes (interactive, print, RPC)
  - Unified session event for hooks (replaces session_start/session_switch)

- Box component added to pi-tui

- Examples bundled in npm and binary releases

# Hooks Examples
Example hooks for pi-coding-agent.
## Examples
### permission-gate.ts
Prompts for confirmation before running dangerous bash commands (rm -rf, sudo, chmod 777, etc.).
### git-checkpoint.ts
Creates git stash checkpoints at each turn, allowing code restoration when branching.
### protected-paths.ts
Blocks writes to protected paths (.env, .git/, node_modules/).
## Usage
```bash
# Test directly
pi --hook examples/hooks/permission-gate.ts
# Or copy to hooks directory for persistent use
cp permission-gate.ts ~/.pi/agent/hooks/
```
## Writing Hooks
See [docs/hooks.md](../../docs/hooks.md) for full documentation.
### Key Points
**Hook structure:**
```typescript
import type { HookAPI } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/hooks";
export default function (pi: HookAPI) {
pi.on("session", async (event, ctx) => {
// event.reason: "start" | "switch" | "clear"
// ctx.ui, ctx.exec, ctx.cwd, ctx.sessionFile, ctx.hasUI
});
pi.on("tool_call", async (event, ctx) => {
// Can block tool execution
if (dangerous) {
return { block: true, reason: "Blocked" };
}
return undefined;
});
pi.on("tool_result", async (event, ctx) => {
// Can modify result
return { result: "modified result" };
});
}
```
**Available events:**
- `session` - startup, session switch, clear
- `branch` - before branching (can skip conversation restore)
- `agent_start` / `agent_end` - per user prompt
- `turn_start` / `turn_end` - per LLM turn
- `tool_call` - before tool execution (can block)
- `tool_result` - after tool execution (can modify)
**UI methods:**
```typescript
const choice = await ctx.ui.select("Title", ["Option A", "Option B"]);
const confirmed = await ctx.ui.confirm("Title", "Are you sure?");
const input = await ctx.ui.input("Title", "placeholder");
ctx.ui.notify("Message", "info"); // or "warning", "error"
```
**Sending messages:**
```typescript
pi.send("Message to inject into conversation");
```
