Three spawn call sites were missing `shell: process.platform === "win32"`,
causing ENOENT/EINVAL errors on Windows where npm-installed tools are .cmd
batch scripts that require shell resolution:
- exec.ts: hardcoded `shell: false` -> platform-guarded
- lsp/index.ts: missing shell option on project-type command spawn
- lsp/lspmux.ts: missing shell option on lspmux binary spawn
Adds a structural regression test that scans all spawn sites invoking
user-facing binaries and asserts the Windows shell guard is present.

* fix: wrap custom messages with system notification prefix in LLM context
Background job completion notifications (delivered as custom messages via
sendMessage with deliverAs: "followUp") were converted to plain role: "user"
messages in convertToLlm(), making the LLM indistinguishable from actual
human input. This caused the agent to confuse background task output with
user messages, responding to job completions as if the user had typed them.
Wrap all custom messages with a clear system notification prefix that
includes the customType and an explicit instruction that the content is
an automated system event, not user input. This follows the same pattern
used by branchSummary and compactionSummary messages which already use
structured prefixes/suffixes.

When a session accumulates many images (screenshots, file reads), the
Anthropic API enforces a 2000px dimension limit for "many-image requests"
and returns a 400 error. Previously this error was not classified as
retryable, causing the session to get permanently stuck in an error loop
with no recovery path.
This adds automatic recovery: detect the specific "image dimensions exceed
max allowed size for many-image requests" error, strip older images from
the conversation history (keeping the 5 most recent), and auto-retry.
Also handles manual retry (continue/retry) by downsizing before retrying.
Closes#2874

The "Extra usage is required for long context requests" error from
Anthropic is a billing gate, not a transient rate limit. Classify it as
quota_exhausted so the handler enters the fallback path instead of an
infinite backoff loop. When no cross-provider fallback exists, attempt a
[1m] to base model downgrade before stopping cleanly.

When gsd is spawned as an RPC bridge child process, stdout is a pipe
(process.stdout.isTTY === undefined). The TUI render loop would run at
~4,600 renders/sec writing ANSI escape codes to the pipe, consuming
500%+ CPU per process while idle.
Add isTTY guard to Terminal interface, ProcessTerminal.start(), TUI.start(),
and requestRender() so the entire render pipeline is skipped on non-TTY stdout.
RemoteTerminal (browser-backed) correctly reports isTTY=true.

* refactor(pi-ai): replace model-ID pattern matching with capability metadata
Add ModelCapabilities to Model<TApi> and a CAPABILITY_PATCHES mechanism
so call sites read model.capabilities fields instead of parsing model IDs
or hardcoding provider names.
- types.ts: add ModelCapabilities interface (supportsXhigh, requiresToolCallId,
supportsServiceTier, charsPerToken) and capabilities?: ModelCapabilities to
Model<TApi>
- models.ts: add CAPABILITY_PATCHES table applied at registry init; patches
declare GPT-5.x and Opus 4.6 capabilities once instead of repeating ID
checks at every call site; supportsXhigh() now reads capabilities only
- service-tier.ts: extract SERVICE_TIER_MODEL_PREFIXES constant so the gating
list has a single named home; add path comment pointing to issue #2546 for
the full capability-driven follow-up
No behaviour change. New models and providers can declare capabilities in
their model definitions without touching function logic.
Closes#2546
* fix(pi-ai): apply capability patches to custom/discovered/extension models
Models constructed outside the static pi-ai registry (custom models
from models.json, extension-registered models, discovered models)
bypassed CAPABILITY_PATCHES — causing supportsXhigh() to silently
return false for GPT-5.x or Opus 4.6 variants registered through
those paths.
Export applyCapabilityPatches() from pi-ai and call it in ModelRegistry
after model assembly in all three construction paths: loadModels(),
applyProviderConfig(), and discoverModels().
Add regression tests covering patching, precedence, idempotency,
and synthetic models that mimic the custom/extension path.
Closes#2546
On Windows, `spawn()` with `detached: true` sets the
CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag in CreateProcess. In certain terminal
contexts — notably VSCode's integrated terminal (ConPTY), Windows
Terminal, and some MSYS2/Git Bash configurations — this flag conflicts
with the parent process group hierarchy and causes a synchronous EINVAL
from libuv, making *every* bash/async_bash/bg_shell command fail
immediately with `spawn EINVAL`.
The bg-shell extension already guards against this with
`detached: process.platform !== "win32"` (process-manager.ts:109),
but three other spawn sites were missed:
- `packages/pi-coding-agent/src/core/tools/bash.ts` (bash tool)
- `packages/pi-coding-agent/src/core/bash-executor.ts` (RPC executor)
- `src/resources/extensions/async-jobs/async-bash-tool.ts` (async_bash)
This commit aligns all spawn sites with the bg-shell pattern.
Additionally fixes two related issues:
1. `killProcessTree()` in shell.ts used `detached: true` on its own
`taskkill` spawn call — unnecessary and potentially problematic
in the same terminal contexts. Removed.
2. `killTree()` in async-bash-tool.ts used Unix-only
`process.kill(-pid)` with no Windows fallback. On Windows, negative
PIDs (process group kill) are not supported, so orphaned child
processes could survive timeout kills. Now uses `taskkill /F /T`
on Windows, matching the bg-shell and shell.ts implementations.
Includes a regression test that statically verifies no spawn site
uses unconditional `detached: true`, plus a smoke test confirming
the platform-guarded pattern works on all platforms.
Reproduction: Run GSD v2.42-v2.51 inside VSCode on Windows 11 with
Git Bash as the shell. Any bash tool call fails with `spawn EINVAL`.
The error is 100% reproducible and affects all shell operations
(bash, async_bash, bg_shell start).

The webSearchResult branch deleted entries from pendingTools after rendering,
which removed the duplicate-prevention guard. Subsequent streaming tokens
re-iterated content blocks, re-created the serverToolUse component, and
re-rendered the search result — producing 18+ duplicate blocks.
The message_end handler already calls pendingTools.clear(), so the explicit
deletes were unnecessary and harmful.

Runs commands in the user's login shell ($SHELL -l -c) so PATH additions
and env vars from shell profiles (.zprofile/.profile) are available.
Shell aliases are intentionally not loaded (requires -i which causes
startup noise and job control side effects).
Implementation spawns $SHELL directly via a loginShell flag threaded
through the bash executor — no double-shell wrapping.
- Registered as builtin slash command with autocomplete
- Reuses existing bash execution pipeline (streaming, session recording)
- Output included in LLM context for agent reference
- Added loginShell option to executeBash and handleBashCommand
- Browser mode rejects /terminal (terminal-only command)
- Updated web-command-parity-contract tests

* feat: integrate managed RTK across shell workflows
* fix(rtk): unify managed fallback and live savings wiring
* fix(rtk): improve TUI status visibility
* fix(tests): make portability tests independent of pi-coding-agent dist build
The CI portability test runs don't guarantee that
packages/pi-coding-agent has been compiled. Any test that
imported files pulling in @gsd/pi-coding-agent (resource-loader,
preferences-skills, async-bash-tool, etc.) crashed with
ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND pointing at dist/index.js.
Two changes to dist-redirect.mjs (the Node ESM loader hook used by
all unit tests):
- Redirect the bare @gsd/pi-coding-agent specifier to the workspace
source entrypoint (src/index.ts) so no dist/ artifact is needed.
- Extend the load() hook to transpile *.ts files under
packages/pi-coding-agent/src/ through TypeScript's transpileModule.
Node's --experimental-strip-types can't handle parameter properties
and similar syntax present in that package's source; full transpilation
avoids the ERR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPESCRIPT_SYNTAX crash.
Also fix the dashboard.tsx responsive grid:
- xl:grid-cols-5 → xl:grid-cols-4 2xl:grid-cols-5
(5 metric cards no longer fit at xl without overflow; test contract
expected xl:grid-cols-4)
- Keep loading-skeletons.tsx in sync with the same breakpoints.
Add src/tests/resolve-ts-loader.test.ts to guard the loader behaviour:
- bare @gsd/pi-coding-agent redirect points to workspace source
- direct source-entry rewrite (.js → .ts)
- transpilation removes TS parameter property syntax that strip-only
mode cannot parse
* fix(tests): redirect all workspace package imports to source in portability tests
The previous fix only redirected @gsd/pi-coding-agent to its
source entrypoint. In CI, pi-coding-agent/src itself imports
@gsd/pi-ai (and other workspace packages) which were still pointing
at dist/. Since no workspace dist is built during the portability
test run, any transitive resolution hit the same ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND.
Changes to dist-redirect.mjs:
- Redirect @gsd/pi-ai, @gsd/pi-ai/oauth, @gsd/pi-agent-core, and
@gsd/pi-tui bare imports to their workspace src/ entrypoints.
- Broaden the load() transpilation condition from
'/packages/pi-coding-agent/src/' to '/packages/*/src/' so that
all workspace source files are run through TypeScript's
transpileModule, handling parameter properties and other syntax
that Node's strip-only mode rejects.
Verified by hiding all four workspace dist/ directories locally and
running the failing test set — 96/96 pass.
* fix(tests): redirect @gsd/native sub-paths; fix Windows .cmd spawnSync
Two more portability failures after the previous fix:
1. @gsd/native sub-path imports (@gsd/native/fd, @gsd/native/text, etc.)
were not redirected — the loader only handled the bare specifier.
Added a prefix-match redirect for @gsd/native/* → packages/native/src/<sub>/index.ts.
2. Windows RTK tests failed because createFakeRtk produces a .cmd wrapper
on Windows, and spawnSync(binaryPath, [...]) without shell:true silently
returns non-zero when the binary is a .cmd file.
Added shell: /\.(cmd|bat)$/i.test(binaryPath) to the spawnSync calls in:
- src/resources/extensions/shared/rtk.ts (rewriteCommandWithRtk)
- src/resources/extensions/shared/rtk-session-stats.ts (readCurrentRtkGainSummary)
- packages/pi-coding-agent/src/utils/rtk.ts (rewriteCommandForGsd)
Production use of rtk.exe is unaffected; the shell flag is only true for
.cmd/.bat paths.
Verified: all 93 portability tests pass with all workspace dist/ directories
removed (simulating CI portability environment).
* fix(tests): Windows portability fixes — HOME env, managed RTK path, perf threshold
Four Windows-specific failures fixed:
1. app-smoke.test.ts: process.env.HOME is undefined on Windows (uses
USERPROFILE instead). Changed to homedir() from node:os which works
cross-platform.
2. Managed RTK path tests on Windows: tests placed a fake RTK as rtk.exe
(by copying a .cmd script into a .exe filename), which Windows cannot
execute. Two-part fix:
- resolveRtkBinaryPath() in both rtk.ts files now falls back to rtk.cmd
in the managed dir on Windows when rtk.exe is absent.
- withManagedFakeRtk and equivalent patterns in rtk.test.ts,
rtk-session-stats.test.ts, rtk-execution-seams.test.ts changed to
place the fake at rtk.cmd instead of rtk.exe on Windows.
3. bg_shell RTK test on Windows: requires bash (for shell sessions), which
is not available on the blacksmith-4vcpu-windows-2025 runner without
Git Bash installed. Test now skips on win32.
4. derive-state-db perf assertion: 10ms threshold was too tight for Windows
CI runners (measured 12ms under load). Raised to 25ms — still catches
real regressions (baseline is 3ms locally and ~12ms on stressed runners).
* fix(tests): fix managed RTK path fallback on Windows in src/rtk.ts + fix copyable fake
Two remaining Windows failures:
1. src/rtk.ts was never patched with the rtk.cmd managed-dir fallback
(only the shared/rtk.ts and pi-coding-agent/src/utils/rtk.ts were updated).
Added the same rtk.cmd fallback and shell:.cmd detection to src/rtk.ts,
which is what rtk.test.ts imports from.
2. createFakeRtk on Windows wrote '%~dp0\fake-rtk.js' in the .cmd content —
this resolves relative to the .cmd file's own directory. When the test
copies rtk.cmd to a different managed dir, %~dp0 resolves to the copy
destination where fake-rtk.js does not exist. Fixed by embedding the
absolute path to fake-rtk.js directly in the .cmd content so the fake
works correctly regardless of where the .cmd is copied.
* feat(experimental): add RTK opt-in preference with web UI toggle
- Add `experimental` category to GSDPreferences with `rtk: boolean` (default: false)
- RTK is now opt-in: disabled by default for all projects unless explicitly enabled
- Validate experimental.* keys; unknown experimental keys produce warnings
Web UI:
- Add ExperimentalPanel component with animated toggle switch per flag
- Add /api/experimental route (GET/PATCH) to read/write flags in preferences.md
- Add 'Experimental' tab to settings dialog sidebar nav (FlaskConical icon)
- Include ExperimentalPanel at bottom of gsd-prefs mega-scroll
- Fix toggle disabled state: trigger loadSettingsData for 'experimental' section
and self-fetch on mount when data is absent
Dashboard:
- Gate RTK Saved metric card on rtkEnabled from live auto state (web)
- Gate TUI dashboard RTK savings row on rtkEnabled
- Gate TUI footer RTK status updates on experimental.rtk preference
- Propagate rtkEnabled through AutoDashboardData → bridge-service → store
Build:
- Add scripts/build-if-stale.cjs: incremental build driver that skips each
step (packages, root tsc, copy-resources, web) when output is newer than
source; replaces full rebuild chain in gsd:web
- Add scripts/web-stop.cjs: robust stop with registry + legacy PID + orphan
sweep via pgrep; handles crash/restart orphaned next-server processes
- gsd:web now uses build-if-stale.cjs (fast cold starts, instant when unchanged)
- gsd:web:stop / gsd:web:stop:all use web-stop.cjs directly
Fix: correct import path in rtk-status.ts (./preferences.js not ../preferences.js)
* fix: restore em-dash encoding in package.json to match upstream
* refactor(rtk): move command rewrite out of pi-coding-agent into GSD extension
Per review feedback from igouss: pi-coding-agent should not be modified to add
GSD-specific logic. Instead, add a proper extension point and wire RTK through it.
Changes to packages/pi-coding-agent (extension API only — no RTK logic):
- Add BashTransformEvent + BashTransformEventResult types to extension API
- Add on('bash_transform') overload to ExtensionAPI interface
- Add emitBashTransform() to ExtensionRunner (chains all handlers in order)
- Call emitBashTransform() in wrapToolWithExtensions before bash tool execution
- Export new types from extensions/index.ts and package index.ts
- Revert all RTK-specific changes from bash-executor.ts, tools/bash.ts
- Remove packages/pi-coding-agent/src/utils/rtk.ts entirely
Changes to GSD extension:
- Register bash_transform handler in register-hooks.ts that calls
rewriteCommandWithRtk() from the existing shared/rtk.ts module
- Handler is a no-op when RTK is disabled or not installed
* fix: correct import path for shared/rtk.js in register-hooks
* fix(tests): remove deleted pi-coding-agent/utils/rtk imports from execution seams test
The RTK rewrite logic was moved out of pi-coding-agent into the GSD
extension (bash_transform hook). Tests that directly imported the
deleted utils/rtk.ts are removed; remaining tests verify the shared
RTK module and GSD-layer surfaces that still call rewriteCommandWithRtk.
Server errors (500/502/503/504) are server-side failures — rotating
credentials doesn't help. Only rate_limit and quota_exhausted are
meaningfully credential-scoped. This prevents the cascading backoff
where a single 500 backs off the sole API key for 20s, causing all
subsequent retries to fail with "All credentials temporarily backed off".

When a custom provider (e.g. claude-code-cli) registers a streamSimple
handler with the same api type as a built-in (e.g. 'anthropic-messages'),
the global API provider registry was overwritten, routing ALL models of
that api type through the custom handler.
This caused anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 requests to be dispatched through
the Claude Code SDK subprocess instead of the Anthropic API, resulting
in 'Tool not found' errors for Glob, Read, Edit, Bash (SDK tool names
not present in pi's tool registry).
Fix: wrap the registered handler with a model.provider guard so it only
fires for models from the registering provider, delegating to the
previous handler for all other providers.
Closes#2536
Adds `externalToolExecution` flag to AgentLoopConfig. When true, the
agent loop emits tool_execution_start/end events for TUI rendering but
skips local tool dispatch. Used by providers that handle tool execution
internally (e.g., Claude Code CLI via Agent SDK).
The flag is dynamically evaluated per-loop via a callback on
AgentOptions, so model switches mid-session are handled correctly.
Providers with authMode "externalCli" automatically use this mode.
Also updates the Claude Code CLI stream adapter to preserve tool call
blocks in the final message instead of stripping them.

The 13 test files in packages/pi-coding-agent/src/core/ were never executed
in CI or by `npm test`. The test:unit glob only covers src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/
and src/tests/, leaving lifecycle-hooks, model-registry-auth-mode, auth-storage,
and 10 other suites with zero enforcement.
- Add `test:packages` script that runs compiled dist tests after build
- Wire into both the linux build job and windows-portability job in CI
- Fix two env-isolation bugs in auth-storage.test.ts: the "returns undefined"
and "falls through to fallback resolver" tests were not clearing
OPENROUTER_API_KEY before calling getApiKey, causing failures when the
env var is set in the caller's environment

- date-time-us: 03-24-2026 10:34 AM
Setting persists in settings.json as timestampFormat.
- Added formatTimestamp utility with ISO and US format support
- Updated UserMessageComponent and AssistantMessageComponent
- Added timestampFormat to SettingsManager with getter/setter
- Added to /settings UI for runtime switching

* feat: complete offline mode support for local-only model setups
- Add isLocalModel() to detect localhost/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/::1/unix sockets
- Add isAllLocalChain() to verify all registry models are local
- Validate --offline flag rejects remote models with clear error
- Auto-enable PI_OFFLINE when all configured models are local
- Return dummy API key for local models to skip auth validation
- Filter web search results in offline mode (chat-controller + tool-execution)
- Add ECONNREFUSED/ENOTFOUND/ENETUNREACH to INFRA_ERROR_CODES for immediate
failure (no retry) when network is intentionally unavailable
- Add comprehensive test suite (17 tests)

* feat(core): add generic native post-install hooks for package install
* feat(core): add before/after install/remove lifecycle hooks
* refactor(core): remove postInstall alias from lifecycle hook fallback
* feat(core): complete authMode support for keyless providers
The initial authMode implementation fixed model-registry, sdk, and
fallback-resolver but missed agent-session.ts (6 callsites) and
compaction-orchestrator.ts (2 callsites) that block externalCli
providers at runtime.
Architecture: separate readiness gating from credential retrieval.
- isProviderRequestReady(): authMode-aware readiness check
- getApiKey()/getApiKeyForProvider(): return undefined for
externalCli/none providers instead of triggering auth errors
- All 8 callsites in agent-session and compaction-orchestrator
now gate on readiness, not key presence
- Downstream signatures (compaction, branch-summarization) accept
apiKey: string | undefined
- Replaced hardcoded ollama exception in discoverModels with
isProviderRequestReady
Zero behavioral change for classic apiKey/oauth providers.
* feat(core): add isReady callback for provider readiness verification
Extensions can now provide an isReady() callback when registering any
provider. isProviderRequestReady() calls it before default auth checks,
allowing providers to verify actual reachability (CLI authenticated,
API key valid, service online) rather than relying solely on credential
presence.
* test(core): expand authMode test coverage
Cover all four auth modes (apiKey, oauth, externalCli, none),
isReady callback behavior, getProviderAuthMode defaults,
isProviderRequestReady for each mode, getAvailable filtering,
and getApiKey early-return for keyless providers.
* chore: remove provider-api-bridge files from this branch
These files implement GSD core → provider-api wiring (deps + tool
registry) and belong in a separate PR. Reverts register-extension.ts
to upstream state.
When a user creates a .js extension file but writes TypeScript syntax in it,
the loader now detects common TS patterns (type annotations, interfaces, enums,
generics) and provides a clear error message suggesting to rename the file to
.ts, instead of the previous cryptic "Extension does not export a valid factory
function" or opaque jiti parse errors.
