- 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
Fixes#190
- Remove old TUI implementation and components (LoadingAnimation, MarkdownComponent, TextComponent, TextEditor, WhitespaceComponent)
- Rename components-new to components with new API (Loader, Markdown, Text, Editor, Spacer)
- Move Text and Input components to separate files in src/components/
- Add render caching to Text component (similar to Markdown)
- Add proper ANSI code handling in Text component using stripVTControlCharacters
- Update coding-agent to use new TUI API (requires ProcessTerminal, uses custom Editor subclass for key handling)
- Remove old test files, keep only chat-simple.ts and virtual-terminal.ts
- Update README.md with new minimal API documentation
- Switch from tsc to tsgo for type checking
- Update package dependencies across monorepo
Fixed rendering artifact where duplicate bottom borders appeared when components
dynamically shifted positions (e.g., Ctrl+C in agent clearing status container).
Root cause: Container wasn't reporting as "changed" when cleared (0 children),
causing differential renderer to skip re-rendering that area.
Solution: Container now tracks previousChildCount and reports changed when
child count changes, ensuring proper re-rendering when containers are cleared.
- Added comprehensive test reproducing the layout shift artifact
- Fixed Container to track and report child count changes
- All tests pass including new layout shift artifact test
- Move chat application example to test/chat-app.ts
- Move multi-component layout example to test/multi-layout.ts
- Update README to reference example files instead of inline code
- Add proper exit handlers (Ctrl+C) to all examples
- Simplify README by reducing inline code examples
- Add surgical differential rendering as the main feature
- Document the three rendering strategies (surgical, partial, full)
- Add performance metrics documentation
- Simplify component examples to be more concise
- Add comprehensive testing section with VirtualTerminal API
- Include testing best practices and performance testing guidance
- Remove duplicate TextEditor documentation section
- Set up npm workspaces for three packages: pi-tui, pi-agent, and pi (pods)
- Implemented dual TypeScript configuration:
- Root tsconfig.json with path mappings for development and type checking
- Package-specific tsconfig.build.json for clean production builds
- Configured lockstep versioning with sync script for inter-package dependencies
- Added comprehensive documentation for development and publishing workflows
- All packages at version 0.5.0 ready for npm publishing
