- Add setEditorText() and getEditorText() to HookUIContext for prompt generator pattern
- custom() now accepts async factories for fire-and-forget work
- Add CancellableLoader component to tui package
- Add BorderedLoader component for hooks with cancel UI
- Export HookAPI, HookContext, HookFactory from main package
- Update all examples to import from packages instead of relative paths
- Update hooks.md and custom-tools.md documentation
fixes#350
- Remove timeout logic from HookRunner
- Remove hookTimeout from Settings interface
- Remove getHookTimeout/setHookTimeout methods
- Update CHANGELOG.md and hooks.md
Timeouts were inconsistently applied and caused issues with
legitimate slow operations (LLM calls, user prompts). Users can
use Ctrl+C to abort hung hooks.
- CustomAgentTool renamed to CustomTool
- ToolAPI renamed to CustomToolAPI
- ToolContext renamed to CustomToolContext
- ToolSessionEvent renamed to CustomToolSessionEvent
- Added CustomToolContext parameter to execute() and onSession()
- CustomToolFactory now returns CustomTool<any, any> for type compatibility
- dispose() replaced with onSession({ reason: 'shutdown' })
- Added wrapCustomTool() to convert CustomTool to AgentTool
- Session exposes setToolUIContext() instead of leaking internals
- Fix ToolExecutionComponent to sync with toolOutputExpanded state
- Update all custom tool examples for new API
Compaction API:
- prepareCompaction() now takes (pathEntries, settings) only
- CompactionPreparation restructured: removed cutPoint/messagesToKeep/boundaryStart, added turnPrefixMessages/isSplitTurn/previousSummary/fileOps/settings
- compact() now takes (preparation, model, apiKey, customInstructions?, signal?)
- Fixed token overflow by using getPath() instead of getEntries()
Hook types:
- HookEventContext renamed to HookContext
- HookCommandContext removed, RegisteredCommand.handler takes (args, ctx)
- HookContext now includes model field
- SessionBeforeCompactEvent: removed previousCompactions/model, added branchEntries
- SessionBeforeTreeEvent: removed model (use ctx.model)
- HookRunner.initialize() added for modes to set up callbacks
- Add TreeSelectorComponent with ASCII tree visualization
- Add AgentSession.navigateTree() for switching branches
- Add session_before_tree/session_tree hook events
- 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.
- Add BeforeAgentStartEvent and BeforeAgentStartEventResult types
- Add emitBeforeAgentStart to HookRunner
- Call in AgentSession.prompt() before agent.prompt()
- Hook can return a message to inject into context (persisted + visible)
- Add test hook demonstrating custom message rendering and before_agent_start
- Removed Attachment from agent package (now in web-ui/coding-agent)
- Agent.prompt now takes (text, images?: ImageContent[])
- Removed transports from web-ui (duplicate of agent package)
- Updated coding-agent to use local message types
- Updated mom package for new agent API
Remaining: Fix AgentInterface.ts to compose UserMessageWithAttachments
- Change from contextTransform (runs once at agent start) to preprocessor
- preprocessor runs before EACH LLM call inside the agent loop
- ContextEvent now uses Message[] (pi-ai format) instead of AppMessage[]
- Deep copy handled by pi-ai preprocessor, not Agent
This enables:
- Pruning rules applied on every turn (not just agent start)
- /prune during long agent loop takes effect immediately
- Compaction can use same transforms (future work)
- Add contextTransform option to Agent (runs before messageTransformer)
- Deep copy messages before passing to contextTransform (modifications are ephemeral)
- Add ContextEvent and ContextEventResult types
- Add emitContext() to HookRunner (chains multiple handlers)
- Wire up in sdk.ts when creating Agent with hooks
Enables dynamic context pruning: hooks can modify messages sent to LLM
without changing session data. See discussion #330.
- Extract execCommand to src/core/exec.ts, shared by hooks and custom-tools
- Rename CustomMessageRenderer -> HookMessageRenderer
- Rename registerCustomMessageRenderer -> registerMessageRenderer
- Renderer now receives HookMessage instead of CustomMessageEntry
- CustomMessageComponent now has setExpanded() and responds to Ctrl+E toggle
- Re-export ExecOptions/ExecResult from exec.ts for backward compatibility
Hook commands registered via pi.registerCommand() are now handled in
AgentSession.prompt() alongside file-based slash commands. This:
- Removes duplicate tryHandleHookCommand from interactive-mode and rpc-mode
- All modes (interactive, RPC, print) share the same command handling logic
- AgentSession._tryExecuteHookCommand() builds CommandContext using:
- UI context from hookRunner (set by mode)
- sessionManager, modelRegistry from AgentSession
- sendMessage via sendHookMessage
- exec via exported execCommand
- Handler returning string uses it as prompt, undefined returns early
Also:
- Export execCommand from hooks/runner.ts
- Add getUIContext() and getHasUI() to HookRunner
- Make HookRunner.emitError() public for error reporting
Breaking changes to Hook API:
- pi.send(text, attachments?) replaced with pi.sendMessage(message, triggerTurn?)
- Creates CustomMessageEntry instead of user messages
- Properly handles queuing during streaming via agent loop
- Supports optional turn triggering when idle
- New pi.appendEntry(customType, data?) for hook state persistence
- New pi.registerCommand(name, options) for custom slash commands
- Handler types renamed: SendHandler -> SendMessageHandler, new AppendEntryHandler
Implementation:
- AgentSession.sendHookMessage() handles all three cases:
- Streaming: queues message with _hookData marker, agent loop processes it
- Not streaming + triggerTurn: appends to state/session, calls agent.continue()
- Not streaming + no trigger: appends to state/session only
- message_end handler routes based on _hookData presence to correct persistence
- HookRunner gains getRegisteredCommands() and getCommand() methods
New types: HookMessage<T>, RegisteredCommand, CommandContext
- Add renderCustomMessage to HookAPI for registering custom renderers
- Add CustomMessageRenderer type and CustomMessageRenderOptions
- Store customMessageRenderers in LoadedHook
- Add getCustomMessageRenderer(customType) to HookRunner
- SessionContext.entries now aligned with messages (same length, corresponding indices)
TUI can now correlate messages with their source entries to identify
custom_message entries and use hook-provided renderers.
- Merge branch event into session with before_branch/branch reasons
- Add before_switch, before_clear, shutdown reasons
- before_* events can be cancelled with { cancel: true }
- Update RPC commands to return cancelled status
- Add shutdown event on process exit
- New example hooks: confirm-destructive, dirty-repo-guard, auto-commit-on-exit
fixes#278
Breaking changes:
- Custom tools now require index.ts entry point in subdirectory
(e.g., tools/mytool/index.ts instead of tools/mytool.ts)
Subagent tool improvements:
- Refactored to use Message[] from ai package instead of custom types
- Extracted agent discovery to separate agents.ts module
- Added parallel mode streaming (shows progress from all tasks)
- Added turn count to usage stats footer
- Removed redundant Query section from scout output
Fixes:
- JSON mode stdout flush: Fixed race condition where pi --mode json
could exit before all output was written, causing consumers to
miss final events
Also:
- Added signal/timeout support to pi.exec() for custom tools and hooks
- Renamed pi-pods bin to avoid conflict with pi
