- Add setActiveTools() to ExtensionAPI for dynamic tool management
- Extensions can now override, wrap, or disable built-in tools
- Add tool-override.ts example demonstrating the pattern
- Update documentation for tool override capabilities
- 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

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
Extensions can now replace the built-in footer with a custom component:
- setFooter(factory) replaces with custom component
- setFooter(undefined) restores built-in footer
Includes example extension demonstrating context usage display.
