Add new slash commands for gracefully exiting the interactive mode:
- /quit - exit the application
- /exit - alias for /quit (common CLI convention)
Both commands await shutdown() which emits session_shutdown events
to hooks and custom tools before exiting. Unlike Ctrl+C (twice) which
uses void (fire-and-forget), these commands properly wait for hooks
and tools to complete their shutdown handlers.
- Hook commands now execute immediately during streaming (they manage their own LLM interaction via pi.sendMessage())
- File-based slash commands are expanded and queued via steer/followUp during streaming
- prompt() accepts new streamingBehavior option ('steer' or 'followUp') for explicit queueing during streaming
- steer() and followUp() now expand file-based slash commands and error on hook commands
- RPC prompt command accepts optional streamingBehavior field
- Updated docs: rpc.md, sdk.md, CHANGELOG.md
fixes#420
Use !!command to execute bash commands that are shown in the TUI and
saved to session history but excluded from LLM context, compaction
summaries, and branch summaries.
- Add excludeFromContext field to BashExecutionMessage
- Filter excluded messages in convertToLlm()
- Parse !! prefix in interactive mode
- Use dim border color for excluded commands
fixes#414
Add doubleEscapeAction setting to choose whether double-escape with an
empty editor opens /tree (default) or /branch.
- Add setting to Settings interface and SettingsManager
- Add to /settings UI for easy toggling
- Update interactive-mode to respect the setting
- Document in README.md settings table

- Update file-trigger example to use new API
- Update CHANGELOG
- Update settings-manager with steeringMode/followUpMode (migrates old queueMode)

- Update UI to show steering vs follow-up messages differently
WIP: settings-manager, sdk, interactive-mode, rpc-mode still need updates
Add setTitle() method to Terminal interface for setting window title.
Uses standard OSC escape sequence \x1b]0;...\x07 for broad terminal
compatibility (macOS Terminal, iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, etc.).
Changes:
- Add setTitle(title: string) to Terminal interface
- Implement in ProcessTerminal using OSC sequence
- Implement no-op in VirtualTerminal for testing
- Use in interactive mode to set title as "pi - <dirname>"
Move line count from header to footer to avoid changing the first line
during streaming, which was triggering full screen re-renders in the
TUI's differential rendering logic.
CustomToolContext now has:
- isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- hasQueuedMessages() - check if user has queued messages
- abort() - abort current operation (fire-and-forget)
Changed abort() signature from Promise<void> to void in both
HookContext and CustomToolContext. The abort is fire-and-forget:
it calls session.abort() without awaiting, so the abort signal
is set immediately while waitForIdle() runs in the background.
Fixes#388
HookAPI additions:
- pi.newSession(options?) - create new session with optional setup callback
- pi.branch(entryId) - branch from a specific entry
- pi.navigateTree(targetId, options?) - navigate the session tree
HookContext additions:
- ctx.isIdle() - check if agent is streaming
- ctx.waitForIdle() - wait for agent to finish
- ctx.abort() - abort current operation
- ctx.hasQueuedMessages() - check for queued user messages
These enable hooks to programmatically manage sessions (handoff, templates)
and check agent state before showing interactive UI.
Fixes#388
- Remove session_before_new and session_new hook events
- Add reason: 'new' | 'resume' to session_before_switch and session_switch events
- Remove 'new' reason from custom tool onSession (use 'switch' for both /new and /resume)
- Rename reset() to newSession(options?) in AgentSession
- Add NewSessionOptions with optional parentSession for lineage tracking
- Rename branchedFrom to parentSession in SessionHeader
- Rename RPC reset command to new_session with optional parentSession
- Update example hooks to use new event structure
- Update documentation and changelog
Based on discussion in #293

- Implement in interactive, RPC, and no-op contexts
- Add status-line.ts example hook

* Add ctx.ui.setStatus(key, text) API for hooks to display status in footer
- Add setStatus to HookUIContext interface
- Implement in interactive mode (FooterComponent)
- Implement in RPC mode (fire-and-forget)

- Multiple statuses displayed on single line, sorted by key
- Supports ANSI styling (hooks handle their own colors)
* Remove setStatus from changelog for now
* Fix hook status API to follow TUI rules
- Sanitize status text: replace newlines, tabs, carriage returns with spaces
- Truncate combined status line to terminal width using truncateToWidth
- Update JSDoc to document sanitization and truncation behavior

- Add missing setStatus to test mock
* Add setStatus to changelog
* Use dim ellipsis for hook status truncation for consistency with footer style

- Emit shutdown event to tools in InteractiveMode.shutdown()
- Update custom-tools.md with new API and examples
Both auto_compaction_end and executeCompaction were manually adding
CompactionSummaryMessageComponent instead of using addMessageToChat,
which caused missing spacers. Now both use addMessageToChat for
consistent spacing and expansion state handling.
- Check response.stopReason instead of catching errors for abort detection
- Return result object from _generateBranchSummary instead of throwing
- Fix summary attachment: attach to navigation target position, not old branch

- Ctrl+O cycles through filters: default -> user-only -> labeled-only -> all
- Preserve cursor position when toggling filters
- Labels shown at front of node
- Normalize tabs/newlines in content
- extractContent limited to 200 chars for performance

- Linear chain optimization (no indent for single-child chains)
- Add TreeSelectorComponent with ASCII tree visualization

- Add SessionManager.resetLeaf() for navigating to root
- Change leafId from string to string|null for consistency with parentId
- Support optional branch summarization when switching
- Update buildSessionContext() to handle null leafId
- Add /tree to slash commands in interactive mode
Major changes:
- Replace monolithic SessionEvent with reason discriminator with individual
event types: session_start, session_before_switch, session_switch,
session_before_new, session_new, session_before_branch, session_branch,
session_before_compact, session_compact, session_shutdown
- Each event has dedicated result type (SessionBeforeSwitchResult, etc.)
- HookHandler type now allows bare return statements (void in return type)
- HookAPI.on() has proper overloads for each event with correct typing
Additional fixes:
- AgentSession now always subscribes to agent in constructor (was only
subscribing when external subscribe() called, breaking internal handlers)
- Standardize on undefined over null throughout codebase
- HookUIContext methods return undefined instead of null
- SessionManager methods return undefined instead of null
- Simplify hook exports to 'export type * from types.js'
- Add detailed JSDoc for skipConversationRestore vs cancel
- Fix createBranchedSession to rebuild index in persist mode
- newSession() now returns the session file path
Updated all example hooks, tests, and emission sites to use new event types.
Hook commands now always execute immediately, even during streaming.
If a command needs to interact with the LLM, it uses pi.sendMessage()
which handles queueing automatically.
This simplifies the API and eliminates the issue of queued slash
commands being sent to the LLM instead of executing.
- CompactionSummaryMessageComponent now extends Box, uses customMessageBg
- New BranchSummaryMessageComponent for branch summaries
- Both use same background color as HookMessageComponent for consistency
- Added Spacer before compaction/branch components in chat
- addMessageToChat: exhaustive switch for all AgentMessage roles

- export-html formatMessage: exhaustive switch for all AgentMessage roles
- Removed isHookMessage, isBashExecutionMessage type guards in favor of role checks
- Fixed imports and removed unused getLatestCompactionEntry
Two bugs:
1. createCustomMessage was returning role: 'user' instead of preserving
the hook message structure (role: 'hookMessage', customType, etc.)
2. rebuildChatFromMessages wasn't clearing the container before rebuilding
- Renamed AppMessage to AgentMessage throughout
- New agent-loop.ts with AgentLoopContext, AgentLoopConfig
