Read every - `/` renders entirely on the client, so one script chunk the browser cannot parse is a blank page. Next 16 targets Safari 16.4+; the `browserslist` in `package.json` lowers Safari and iOS to 16.2 so SWC turns class `static {}` blocks into private static fields. That covers Next's client runtime; other node_modules keep their syntax unless listed in `transpilePackages` (mermaid and `@mermaid-js/parser` are, for their lazy diagram chunks). Keep the other browserslist entries at Next's defaults. - Never write a RegExp lookbehind (`(?<=`, `(? `toolNames[]`) and persisted in versioned `pi-web:tool-selection` custom entries. No entry means a legacy session and keeps Pi's default behavior; an empty array means Chat only. Chat only resolves before services are created, loads no extensions/skills/prompts/themes, and replaces Pi's base prompt with the ordered contents of Pi's discovered context files. Crossing the Chat-only boundary rebuilds the wrapper; changing between nonempty presets updates it in place. + +**Exact system prompts go through `before_agent_start`.** Since pi 0.86 the prompt lives in the transcript: `agent.state.systemPrompt` is a getter replayed from persisted system messages (assigning it throws), and the agent loop's request context has no `systemPrompt` field, so neither mutating the state nor patching `prepareNextTurnWithContext` reaches the model. Chat-only sessions and subagent profiles in replace mode register `lib/exact-system-prompt.ts` as an inline extension factory on the resource loader; its `before_agent_start` handler returns `{ systemPrompt }`, which the SDK projects as the provider's leading system prompt for the whole run while the transcript keeps recording Pi's structured sections. `get_state.systemPrompt` reports the exact prompt for those wrappers because the SDK state only shows the structured sections. Subagents persist their active tools plus profile-level skill and extension loading switches in `resourceSnapshot`; loaded extensions cannot expose the reserved `Agent`, `get_subagent_result`, or `steer_subagent` tools to a subagent. See `docs/adr/0002-chat-only-tool-selection.md`. + +The last preset explicitly selected by the user is stored in browser `localStorage` and initializes fresh-session composers only. Existing sessions never trust that preference; they use their live `get_tools` state or pi's default when no wrapper exists. + +### Model defaults for new sessions +`GET /api/models` returns `defaultModel` read from `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`. `ChatWindow` pre-selects this on mount for new sessions. Explicit browser model/thinking selections are applied atomically during AgentSession construction and are **session-scoped**: startup never writes `settings.json`, and neither does a mid-session `set_model` / `set_thinking_level`. That matches pi since 0.84.3, where `/model` and `/thinking` only persist on Ctrl+S; before that pi-web wrote every new-session pick back, so a one-off model silently became the TUI's default too (#871). + +The explicit "save as default" is the star on each row of the model selector and the reasoning menu, the Web counterpart of Ctrl+S: `PUT /api/models/default` writes `defaultProvider`/`defaultModel` or `defaultThinkingLevel` (`lib/default-preferences.ts`), and the hook then also selects that row for the current chat, as Ctrl+S does. The route only accepts a model the selector can offer (in the resolved `enabledModels` scope), so a saved default always takes effect. A project `.pi/settings.json` value for a written key wins over the global one, so the route refuses with `409 { reason: "project-scope", settingsPath }` instead of reporting a save the user would never see. The model star marks the resolved `defaultModel`; the reasoning star marks `savedDefaultThinkingLevel`, the raw setting, because the resolved `defaultThinkingLevel` also folds in `:level` pins and per-model levels that the global write does not change. Both menus render `SelectorRow` (`components/SelectorRow.tsx`), which highlights the whole row like a session-list row and keeps one right-hand gutter for the star: the default row shows a small static filled star there, and every other row's save button floats into the same spot on hover or keyboard focus (always visible on touch screens, which have no hover). `ModelSelector` only shows stars when given `onSetDefault`; the subagent profile form reuses it without one. + +### Remote provider catalogs +pi's built-in model lists are generated when the SDK is built and pi-web pins one SDK version, so a model a provider ships after that release is invisible until pi-web publishes a new version (#914). The SDK carries the other half: each built-in provider is wrapped in a pi.dev catalog overlay that `ModelRuntime.refresh()` fetches and persists to `~/.pi/agent/models-store.json`, and restoring that overlay needs no network. Both of pi-web's refresh paths ask for the offline half only (`createAgentSessionServices()` and `lib/provider-usage.ts` pass `allowNetwork: false`), which is why running the pi CLI once used to be the fix — the CLI refreshed with the network on and pi-web read what it left behind. + +`lib/model-catalog-refresh.ts` runs that network pass, and **only when the user asks for it**: the "Refresh catalog" button in `EnabledModelsSection` posts to `/api/models/refresh`. Nothing refreshes catalogs on a timer or on another request's path — a pass fetches a catalog per authenticated provider, and a save must not wait on a slow one, the same reason `/api/auth/api-key/[provider]` stores the credential itself instead of calling `ModelRuntime.login()`. `refresh()` is called with `force: true`, since pressing the button is exactly a request to skip the SDK's four-hour freshness window, but *without* `allowNetwork`, so the runtime keeps applying its own `PI_OFFLINE` rule instead of pi-web overriding it; the module reports `reason: "offline"` rather than pretending a pass ran. `shareModelCatalogRefresh()` joins concurrent presses for the same providers so two tabs cannot race over the store file. + +Change detection compares the model ids and names the runtime exposes, never the stored bytes: a successful revalidation rewrites `checkedAt` and `etag` on every pass. It only decides whether `invalidateModelsCache()` runs and whether the panel reloads — the overlay itself reaches the UI through the ordinary `/api/models` and `/api/models/enabled` loads, which build a fresh runtime that restores the store, so the refresh route never returns a model list of its own. + +### `enabledModels` scoping +The `enabledModels` setting uses pi's `--models` syntax: minimatch globs against `provider/modelId` or a bare `modelId`, fuzzy matching for non-glob patterns, and an optional `:thinkingLevel` suffix. Never compare those patterns as literal strings — `lib/model-scope.ts` delegates to the SDK's `resolveModelScopeWithDiagnostics()` so pi-web and the TUI agree on the visible model list, and falls back to all available models when patterns resolve to nothing. `startRpcSession()` resolves that scope before creating an AgentSession and passes the selected initial model, thinking pin, and SDK-native `scopedModels` atomically; `GET /api/models` reuses the helper only for selector data, `thinkingLevelPins`, and `modelScopeWarnings` display. + +Editing that setting from the Models panel goes through `/api/models/enabled`, never through pattern strings composed in the browser. Each toggle is a **minimal edit** of the stored list (`lib/enabled-models.ts`): a pattern that matches no available model is preserved verbatim, only the pattern covering the switched-off model is expanded in place (keeping its `:level` suffix), and every provider that ends up fully enabled with two or more entries collapses back into one glob — pi refreshes provider catalogs from the network into `models-store.json`, so an enumerated list rots when a model is renamed (deepseek's `deepseek-v4-flash` became `deepseek-flash`), while a glob heals itself. A lone exact reference is a deliberate pick and is left alone. **Never assume `provider/*` covers a provider**: pi matches with minimatch, whose `*` stops at `/`, so that glob silently misses every nested model id (`commandcode/sakana/fugu-ultra`, most OpenRouter ids) — writing it turned "enable all" into 15 of 71 models. `resolveProviderGlobs()` resolves `provider/*` then `provider/**` and keeps one only when its match set is exactly the provider's models; a provider that neither covers is written model by model. Also never rewrite the whole list from `getAvailable()` the way the TUI's `/scoped-models` does — it only sees providers that currently pass `checkAuth()`, so that would delete every entry for a provider whose credential is missing right now, and flatten globs and pins. + +Disabling the last enabled model is refused with `409 { reason: "last-model" }`: pi falls back to every model when a scope resolves to nothing, so an empty list silently means the opposite. Writes always target the global settings file; a project `.pi/settings.json` replaces the global array instead of merging, so the route reports `scope: "project"`, renders the switches read-only, and returns that file's path as `settingsPath` — the banner names the file it just wrote (`~/.pi/agent/settings.json · enabledModels 20/104`) instead of describing the effect in prose. Built-in *and* extension-registered providers get per-model switches; models.json providers are switched as a whole by `EnabledModelsProviderSwitch` in their detail header, next to Delete, because a custom model can simply be deleted and both bulk buttons only ever sent the same provider-wide write. That switch is on only when every model of the provider is on, so a partial selection reads as off beside the sidebar's `1/2` badge and one click completes it; reading it as "any enabled" would leave partial unreachable in both directions once the last-model guard blocks the way down. Why it cannot move is its tooltip, not body text. `op: "prune"` is the only operation that drops unmatched entries, for cleaning up after such a rename; everything else preserves them. Saving models.json re-reads the switches through `op: "resync"`, which repairs the stored patterns against the new catalog: it rewrites renamed **models** and then renamed **providers**, **cuts back entries whose provider prefix no longer scopes them**, and re-asserts the providers that were fully enabled before the save. (Model references first: they still spell the old provider id, which the provider rewrite would otherwise have replaced already.) All three are needed because a pattern's meaning depends on the catalog. pi matches a pattern against the bare `modelId` as well as `provider/modelId`, so `stepfun/*` also matches another provider's model whose id *is* `stepfun/Step-5-Preview` — renaming a provider to `stepfun` silently enabled three `commandcode` models, and switching stepfun off then wrote them into the file. In the other direction, renaming a model to an id with a slash drops it out of `provider/*` (minimatch `*` stops at `/`), so a fully enabled provider silently loses it. A model renamed in the panel is a known move, not the kind of mismatch worth preserving: leaving `stepfun/ddd` behind after it became `stepfun/ddd1` loses the selection, and when it was the only entry the scope resolves to nothing, which pi reads as "no scope" and quietly enables every model. `ModelsConfig` mirrors every array move of the draft in `savedModelIdsRef` so `collectModelRenames()` can tell a rename from an add or a delete without guessing. Only `resync` repairs entries; ordinary toggles stay minimal edits and never rewrite what the user did not touch. A models.json provider missing from the runtime (unsaved edits, no models, a key that does not work) must not be reported as a sign-in problem, which is why it has its own control: the switch renders disabled with that reason as its tooltip, while `EnabledModelsSection` — now built-in only — keeps the sign-in empty state. See `docs/adr/0004-enabled-models-toggles.md`. + +### SSE reconnect on page refresh mid-stream +On `ChatWindow` mount, `GET /api/agent/[id]` is called. If `state.isStreaming === true`, SSE is reconnected automatically. `thinkingLevel` and `isCompacting` are also synced from this response. + +### Compaction SSE events +Newer pi emits `compaction_start` / `compaction_end`; older versions emitted `auto_compaction_start` / `auto_compaction_end`. `handleAgentEvent` accepts both sets to keep `isCompacting` in sync. Manual compact is a blocking POST — the button stays disabled until the response returns. + +### Transcript system messages, usage entries and context edits (pi >= 0.86) +- Every new session's first request persists a `message` entry with `role: "system"` holding the prompt sections and tool declarations; later prompt or tool changes append more. The agent loop announces them with `message_start` / `message_end` like any message. They are provider input, never conversation: `toClientAgentEvent()` drops them before the SSE stream (they carry every tool schema), `handleAgentEvent` skips any that slip through, `entryToUiMessage()` returns null for them, and `BranchNavigator` / `lib/project-tree.ts` never label or preview a branch with one. They still count toward `messageCount` and `totalMessages`, exactly as the SDK counts them. +- `usage` entries (`kind: "cache_warm"`) record prompt-cache warming that is billed but never enters model context. `computeSessionStats()` adds them like compaction usage so the token/cost counters match `/session` in the TUI. +- `context_edit` entries omit or replace an earlier entry's model context without changing raw history; the UI ignores them. A retain-none compaction stores its own id in `firstKeptEntryId`. +- `SessionManager.listAll()` now reads files newest-mtime first (then reverse filename) so `--resume` can render progressively; its stable sort keeps that order for sessions with equal activity time, and `listSessionsIncremental()` reproduces it from the stat fingerprints it already keeps. + +### Running state polling + reconciliation +- The sidebar polls `/api/agent/running` every 2.5 seconds while the tab is visible and pauses polling in background tabs. The session-list response remains the initial fallback. +- `invalidateSessionListCache()` bumps the generation but **keeps** the previous scan, and the cache is fresh only while its recorded generation matches. Ordinary agent activity invalidates it constantly, and rebuilding costs hundreds of milliseconds because `loadAllSessions()` re-reads every forked and subagent session. Callers that only need metadata — mapping search hits to sidebar rows — pass `listAllSessions({ allowStale: true })` to read the previous scan and let the rebuild happen in the background. A stale scan is a complete catalogue apart from sessions created seconds ago, so those callers accept a brief window where a brand-new session is not yet listed. +- `useAgentSession` treats per-session SSE as primary for chat events and opens it before each prompt. `prompt_done` completes the current UI stage and notification immediately, but the idle SSE stays open for a 30-second grace window and is reused by the next prompt. `agent_start` cancels that close timer; `agent_settled` finishes extension-injected runs that have no wrapper-level `prompt_done` and starts a fresh grace window. Do not close on the first `agent_end`: retries, compaction, and extension-queued messages can continue the same logical prompt. +- While a run is active, `useAgentSession` periodically calls `GET /api/agent/[id]` and also reconciles on `visibilitychange`/`online`. This fixes missed terminal events from background tabs or half-open connections. +- Prompt runs use a monotonic run id; late SSE or slow reconciliation responses from an old run must be ignored so they cannot resurrect stale streaming bubbles. +- Every SSE (re)connection in `useAgentSession` is gated on `sessionHookMountedRef`. React Strict Mode (on by default in `next dev`) re-runs effects in declaration order after a simulated unmount: the mount-only effect's cleanup sets that ref to `false`, and it is only restored when that effect re-runs, *after* the warm-session effect. The warm-session effect therefore re-asserts the ref before `maintainEventsConnected()`. Without it a dev-server tab never opened the event stream on mount or when switching back to a running session, so streamed output and new messages stayed invisible until the 15-second reconcile poll or a page refresh (`next start` was unaffected). + +### Worktrees and project grouping +- `lib/worktree.ts` resolves linked worktree top-levels back to the main repo `projectRoot`; `listAllSessions()` attaches that to each `SessionInfo` so all worktrees for one repo are grouped together in the sidebar. +- Worktree operations are served by `/api/worktrees` and guarded by the same allowed-root rules as `/api/files`. +- New worktrees are created under `-worktrees/`. Existing branches are reused; otherwise `git worktree add -b` creates the branch. +- Removing a dirty worktree returns `409` with `{ dirty: true }` so the UI can ask before retrying with `force`. +- Sessions whose cwd points at a removed worktree are inferred back into the main project instead of becoming a phantom project row. +- git prints POSIX-style absolute paths even on Windows, so every path read out of git goes through `toNativePath()` (`lib/paths.ts`) before it is compared or returned. Compare paths with `samePath()`, never `===` — raw equality made `isTopLevel` permanently false on Windows and hid the worktree switcher entirely. Branch names are not paths and must keep their forward slashes. Browser code cannot apply Node path rules, so `/api/worktrees` resolves `currentWorktreePath` server-side; the sidebar must use that identity for highlighting and removal fallback. + +### Opening the workspace in the file manager +`POST /api/open-in-explorer` still spawns the file manager itself — `explorer.exe`, `open`, `xdg-open` — and that part is unchanged. What changed is what happens next on Windows: `explorer.exe` does not bring the folder window in front of the other applications the user has open, so the window opens behind all of them and looks like nothing happened. `lib/open-in-file-manager.ts` follows the launch with a short-lived PowerShell helper (`fileManagerFocusCommand`) that waits for Explorer to finish creating the window and then raises it. + +Three things about that helper are not obvious: + +- **Raise it in the z-order, do not try to take the foreground.** Windows only grants the foreground to a process the user last interacted with, and the process that clicks the button is the browser, not the server. `SetForegroundWindow` therefore fails from here, and the common workaround — synthesizing a bare Alt press to unlock it — makes whatever window *was* in front re-activate itself, so the folder loses the race to a chat app. `SetWindowPos` with a momentary `HWND_TOPMOST` and then `HWND_NOTOPMOST` is not restricted at all and leaves the window in front for good; `SetForegroundWindow` stays as a best effort for the sessions where it is allowed. +- **The topmost pass is what does it, and it has to be short.** `SetWindowPos(HWND_TOP)` alone does not raise the window: Windows draws the active window above the rest of its band, so an inactive Explorer window stays hidden behind the app the user clicked in. Passing through the topmost band is what carries it past that, and dropping the flag afterwards leaves the window where it was lifted to — measured with `EnumWindows`, a window raised from behind 37 others ends up above all normal windows for every gap from 0 ms to 200 ms. Keep the gap at `FOCUS_TOPMOST_MS` (30 ms): a helper killed between the two calls leaves the folder pinned above everything until it is closed or `Always on top` is unticked in its context menu, so the gap is the only window where that can happen. A test asserts it stays under 100 ms. +- **Measuring this needs `EnumWindows`, not a screenshot.** Two false readings cost real time here: a PowerShell `EnumWindows` callback runs in a child scope, so `$i++` does not survive between calls unless it is `$script:i`, and an *active* window cannot be pushed to the bottom (`HWND_BOTTOM` leaves it at the top of its band), so a test that does not first make another window active will "prove" a raise that never happened. +- **Do not start PowerShell with `detached: true`.** `DETACHED_PROCESS` leaves it without a console, and it exits immediately without running the script. `unref()` on a normal spawn is what keeps the request from waiting for the helper. +- **The helper is best effort and runs after the response.** The folder is already open by the time it polls, so a missing PowerShell, a disabled `Add-Type`, or a window that never appears must not fail the request that opened the folder. Finder and desktop file managers activate their own windows, so only Explorer gets a helper; `PI_WEB_FILE_MANAGER_FOCUS=0` turns the raise off. + +### File access allow-list +- `/api/files` is intentionally not a general filesystem browser. Allowed roots come from session cwds, their resolved project roots, and roots explicitly added with `allowFileRoot()`. +- `/api/cwd/validate` and `/api/worktrees` call `allowFileRoot()` when they make a new location browsable. "Use default directory" is no exception: `/api/default-cwd` only creates `~/pi-cwd/YYYYMMDD`, and the sidebar selects it through `/api/cwd/validate` like any other directory. +- Allowed roots are stored slash-normalized, but that is a Set-key convention, not a correctness requirement: `isPathWithinRoots()` (`lib/path-security.ts`, the single implementation behind `isFilePathAllowed()`) re-resolves and case-folds both sides, so either path form authorizes correctly. Keep that one implementation — it is the security boundary. +- A UNC cwd (`\\host\share\dir`) must survive the `/api/files/[...path]` round-trip. `encodeFilePathForApi()` folds the `//` root into the first segment (`%2F%2Fhost`) because a literal `//` URL prefix is 308-normalized away before routing; `filePathFromApiSegments()` decodes it back. Never split UNC paths into segments and rejoin them — that silently turns `\\host\share` into the relative-looking `host/share` and every allow-check fails with 403. + +### Plugins and skills +- `/api/plugins` uses pi's `SettingsManager` + `DefaultPackageManager` for global/project package install, remove, update, enable, and disable. Disabling writes empty `extensions/skills/prompts/themes` arrays for that package entry. +- `/api/skills` uses `DefaultResourceLoader` so settings paths, package skills, and project `.agents/skills` are listed the same way the runtime sees them. +- Skill toggling edits only the `disable-model-invocation` frontmatter key on the target `SKILL.md`; keep that surgical so user formatting survives. +- `/api/skills/install` shells through `npx skills add ... --agent pi`; project installs run with the selected cwd. + +### Built-in subagents +- The global `builtInEnabled` switch is persisted in `~/.pi/agent/agents/settings.json` and defaults to `false` when the file or field is absent. Malformed settings fail closed; atomic updates preserve unknown fields. +- The inline built-in extension factory is always present so reloading an existing wrapper can apply setting changes, but it registers no tools while disabled. After changing the switch, the user must explicitly reload the current session. +- When enabled, only a recognized legacy `pi-subagents` extension that registers any reserved tool (`Agent`, `get_subagent_result`, or `steer_subagent`) is removed. Unrelated extensions remain loaded, and resolved conflict diagnostics are discarded. +- Runtime `Agent` dispatch checks the setting again so a stale tool call cannot start a subagent after the feature is switched off. +- See `docs/adr/0003-built-in-subagent-toggle.md` for the precedence and persistence rationale. +- Individual built-in profiles (`general-purpose`, `explore`, `plan`) are switched off by name in the same file's `disabledBuiltIns` array, never by copying them out to a `.md` file: a copy freezes the built-in prompt at the version it was copied from and is visible to the other runtimes reading those directories. `builtInProfiles()` stamps `enabled` onto the constants so the panel, the `Agent` tool description, and `resolveSubagentProfile` agree; each write is a minimal edit that preserves names it did not touch, including ones no built-in claims (a newer build's). Reading the list fails *open* — the feature switch beside it has already failed closed — while `PATCH /api/subagents/profiles` with `scope: "builtin"` performs the write and `PUT`/`DELETE` still refuse that scope. A same-name file replaces the built-in outright and is switched off through its own frontmatter. Only the switch is live for a built-in; the rest of the form stays read-only. See `docs/adr/0005-built-in-subagent-disable.md`. +- A background run's completion notification (`notifyParent`) is skipped when the parent already collected the same result with `get_subagent_result`: the tool marks a finished background run consumed and the notification takes that mark. The check cannot happen only when the completion promise resolves — the parent is usually still inside its `get_subagent_result` poll at that moment (500ms interval) and `deliverAs: "followUp"` would just queue the duplicate until that turn ends. So `notifyParent` holds the message while the parent `isRunning()` and re-checks the mark before sending; an idle parent is still notified immediately. +- Agent profile files (`~/.pi/agent/agents/*.md`, project `.pi/agents/*.md`) are shared with other runtimes, so a save round-trips the frontmatter keys this app does not own (`name`, `allowed_subagents`, `exclude_extensions`, `disallowed_tools`, …) and carries foreign `ext:` tool selectors through. Managed keys are exactly `description`, `display_name`, `tools`, `load_skills`, `load_extensions`, `enabled`, `inherit_context`, `run_in_background`, `model`, `thinking`, `max_turns`. +- A background run's completion reaches the parent through `sendCustomMessage`, and pi's `convertToLlm` replays every `custom` message to the model as a plain `user` turn. `subagentNotificationText()` therefore prefixes the report with `SUBAGENT_NOTIFICATION_PREFIX` so a compaction pass — whose prompt asks what *the user* wants — does not file the subagent's output under Goal / Constraints (#875). Foreground `Agent` and `get_subagent_result` results keep the bare `subagentFinalText()`: they are already `toolResult` messages and need no marker. Keep the prefix in code, not in a profile prompt, so the model cannot drop it. +- The `skills` / `extensions` spellings pi-subagents reads are seeded on first save and kept in step while they are booleans; a hand-authored whitelist such as `extensions: pi-advisor-flow` is never rewritten, and the two flags fall back to those aliases when `load_skills` / `load_extensions` are absent. + +### Web password throttling +- `lib/auth-throttle.ts` is deliberately global, not per-IP: Next 16 route handlers have no socket address and `x-forwarded-for` is spoofable, while the server binds `127.0.0.1` for a single operator. Failures double the delay (1s → 60s cap) for everyone; a success or 5 idle minutes resets it. The reset window must stay longer than the max delay or waiting out one block restarts the burst. +- State lives on `globalThis` under `Symbol.for("pi-web:auth-throttle")` so it survives hot reload and is shared by every module instance. Tests reset it with `recordAuthSuccess()`. +- `POST /api/web-auth` and every `Authorization: Basic` header on `/api/*` share the counter; `proxy.ts` checks Basic before its `/api/web-auth` exemption, so `GET /api/web-auth` is not an unthrottled password oracle. A valid session cookie is checked first and is never blocked. While blocked, Basic gets `429` even with the right password (otherwise the answer leaks), and a Basic success does not reset the counter: Basic clients authenticate on every request, so a reset would restart an interleaved guesser at the base delay. The proxy and route handlers share the `globalThis` state under both `next dev` and `next start` (checked by failing one and observing `429` on the other). + +### Auth and model config +- `ModelsConfig` combines models from `~/.pi/agent/models.json` with provider auth status from pi's `AuthStorage`/`ModelRegistry`. +- Provider listing is capability-driven, never id-driven: `lib/provider-listing.ts` decides membership from `auth.apiKey.login` / `auth.oauth` plus the stored credential type, so dual-auth providers (anthropic and github-copilot today — which providers declare both changes between SDK releases, so never assume it from an id) appear exactly once and never fall through both lists (#309). `lib/provider-listing-runtime.ts` adapts `ModelRuntime` to those pure helpers. +- auth.json holds **one** credential per provider and `ModelRuntime.logout()` deletes whichever it is. The delete routes therefore use `removeStoredCredentialIfType()` to compare and delete under the same file lock used by pi's auth storage. `ModelsConfig` also refreshes *both* provider lists after any auth change — refreshing one leaves a dual-auth provider rendered twice. +- OAuth/device-code/manual-code flows are streamed by `GET /api/auth/login/[provider]`; manual code responses POST back with a short-lived token stored in `globalThis.__piLoginCallbacks`. +- API-key routes store and remove keys through `AuthStorage`. Status endpoints must never return the raw key. +- The model test route is `app/api/models-config/test/route.ts`; `app/api/models/test/` is not a real route. + +### Completion sound +- `hooks/useAudio.ts` stores the toggle in `localStorage` as `pi-sound-enabled` and reuses one `AudioContext`. +- Browser autoplay policy means sound must be unlocked from a user gesture; `ChatInput` calls the unlock hook from interactive controls, and `ChatWindow` plays the tone from `onAgentEnd`. + +### Exported session HTML +- `/api/sessions/[id]/export` delegates to pi's export helper, then patches recursive tree helpers in the generated HTML to iterative versions so very deep linear sessions do not overflow the browser call stack. + ## Pi Session File Format Location: `~/.pi/agent/sessions//_.jsonl` diff --git a/lib/open-in-file-manager.test.mjs b/lib/open-in-file-manager.test.mjs index 3fe8ed9c2f..542b3e6e51 100644 --- a/lib/open-in-file-manager.test.mjs +++ b/lib/open-in-file-manager.test.mjs @@ -1,15 +1,26 @@ import assert from "node:assert/strict";
