The extension system currently only forwards agent_start, agent_end,
turn_start, and turn_end events. This means extensions cannot access
streaming text (token-by-token), message lifecycle, or tool execution
progress — all of which are available to internal subscribers.
This adds forwarding for the remaining 6 agent event types:
- message_start, message_update, message_end
- tool_execution_start, tool_execution_update, tool_execution_end
These follow the exact same pattern as the existing forwarded events:
new interfaces in types.ts, exports in index.ts, and else-if blocks
in _emitExtensionEvent(). The new types are included in ExtensionEvent
and automatically flow through RunnerEmitEvent (they're not in the
exclusion list).
This enables extensions to build real-time UIs, streaming WebSocket
bridges, and other integrations that need fine-grained event access.

Matches ToolResultEvent pattern with typed inputs via discriminated union.
- Export *ToolInput types from tool schemas
- Add *ToolCallEvent interfaces for each built-in tool
- Add isToolCallEventType() guard with overloads for built-ins
Direct narrowing (event.toolName === "bash") doesn't work due to
CustomToolCallEvent.toolName: string overlapping with literals.

* feat(coding-agent): add input event for extension input interception
Extensions can now intercept, transform, or handle user input before the
agent processes it. Three result types: continue (pass through), transform
(modify text/images), handled (respond without LLM). Handlers chain
transforms and short-circuit on handled. Source field identifies origin.
* fix: make source public, use if/else over ternary
* fix: remove response field, extension handles own UI
Breaking change: pi.getAllTools() now returns Array<{ name, description }>
instead of string[]. Extensions needing just names can use .map(t => t.name).
Removes redundant getToolInfo() method added in original PR.
Fixes#647
- user_bash event for intercepting ! and !! commands (#528)
- Extensions can return { operations } or { result } to redirect/replace
- executeBashWithOperations() for custom BashOperations execution
- session.recordBashResult() for extensions handling bash themselves
- Theme API: getAllThemes(), getTheme(), setTheme() on ctx.ui
- mac-system-theme.ts example: sync with macOS dark/light mode
- Updated ssh.ts to use user_bash event
- Replace per-extension closures with shared ExtensionRuntime
- Split context actions: ExtensionContextActions (required) + ExtensionCommandContextActions (optional)
- Rename LoadedExtension to Extension, remove setter methods
- Change runner.initialize() from options object to positional params
- Derive hasUI from uiContext presence (no separate param)
- Add warning when extensions override built-in tools
- RPC and print modes now provide full command context actions
BREAKING CHANGE: Extension system types and initialization API changed.
See CHANGELOG.md for migration details.
Extension UI dialogs (select, confirm, input) now support a timeout option
that auto-dismisses with a live countdown display. Simpler alternative to
manually managing AbortSignal for timed dialogs.
Also adds ExtensionUIDialogOptions type export and updates RPC mode to
forward timeout to clients.
- ExtensionAPI: setModel(), getThinkingLevel(), setThinkingLevel() methods
- New preset.ts example with plan/implement presets for model/thinking/tools switching
- Export all UI components from pi-coding-agent for extension use
- docs/tui.md: Common Patterns section with copy-paste code for SelectList, BorderedLoader, SettingsList, setStatus, setWidget, setFooter
- docs/tui.md: Key Rules section for extension UI development
- docs/extensions.md: Exhaustive example links for all ExtensionAPI methods and events
- System prompt now references docs/tui.md for TUI development
Fixes#509, relates to #347
Adds sendUserMessage() to the extension API, allowing extensions to send
actual user messages (role: user) rather than custom messages. Unlike
sendMessage(), this always triggers a turn and behaves as if the user
typed the message.
- Add SendUserMessageHandler type and sendUserMessage() to ExtensionAPI
- Wire handler through loader, runner, and all modes
- Implement via prompt() with expandPromptTemplates: false
- Add send-user-message.ts example with /ask, /steer, /followup commands
- Document in extensions.md
fixes#483
- Accept ExtensionFactory[] for inline extensions (merged with discovery)
- Mark preloadedExtensions as @internal (CLI implementation detail)
- Update sdk.md with inline extension example
- Update CHANGELOG
Breaking changes:
- Settings: 'hooks' and 'customTools' arrays replaced with 'extensions'
- CLI: '--hook' and '--tool' flags replaced with '--extension' / '-e'
- API: HookMessage renamed to CustomMessage, role 'hookMessage' to 'custom'
- API: FileSlashCommand renamed to PromptTemplate
- API: discoverSlashCommands() renamed to discoverPromptTemplates()
- Directories: commands/ renamed to prompts/ for prompt templates
Migration:
- Session version bumped to 3 (auto-migrates v2 sessions)
- Old 'hookMessage' role entries converted to 'custom'
Structural changes:
- src/core/hooks/ and src/core/custom-tools/ merged into src/core/extensions/
- src/core/slash-commands.ts renamed to src/core/prompt-templates.ts
- examples/hooks/ and examples/custom-tools/ merged into examples/extensions/
- docs/hooks.md and docs/custom-tools.md merged into docs/extensions.md
New test coverage:
- test/extensions-runner.test.ts (10 tests)
- test/extensions-discovery.test.ts (26 tests)
- test/prompt-templates.test.ts
New src/core/extensions/ directory with:
- types.ts: merged types from hooks and custom-tools
- loader.ts: single loader for extensions
- runner.ts: ExtensionRunner for event emission
- wrapper.ts: tool wrapping utilities
- index.ts: exports
Key changes from old system:
- Single ExtensionAPI with registerTool() for LLM-callable tools
- Tools use ExtensionContext (has UI access)
- No onSession callback on tools (use pi.on events instead)
