The root barrel is now core-only and side-effect free: types,
createModels/createProvider, auth substrate, lazyStream/lazyApi, faux,
utils. Generated catalogs, api-registry, env-api-keys, images, global
stream functions, and per-API lazy wrappers leave the root.
New @earendil-works/pi-ai/compat preserves the old surface verbatim as
a strict superset of the root: api-dispatch stream/complete with env
key injection, the builtin registration side effect (skip-if-present so
it cannot clobber earlier overrides), deprecated getModel/getModels/
getProviders aliases of the new getBuiltin* reads in providers/all,
lazy api wrappers + setBedrockProviderModule, and image generation.
Compat dies with the coding-agent ModelManager migration.
Packaging: exports map gains ./compat, ./providers/*, ./api/*;
sideEffects array lists only the effectful modules.
Old-global imports across agent/coding-agent/examples and pi-ai tests
switch to /compat (path-only; compat is a superset). The coding-agent
extension loader resolves the pi-ai ROOT specifier to compat, so
existing user extensions using the old global API keep working at
runtime until compat is removed. vitest configs alias /compat to src;
browser smoke imports old globals from /compat.
Breaking changes:
- Settings: 'hooks' and 'customTools' arrays replaced with 'extensions'
- CLI: '--hook' and '--tool' flags replaced with '--extension' / '-e'
- API: HookMessage renamed to CustomMessage, role 'hookMessage' to 'custom'
- API: FileSlashCommand renamed to PromptTemplate
- API: discoverSlashCommands() renamed to discoverPromptTemplates()
- Directories: commands/ renamed to prompts/ for prompt templates
Migration:
- Session version bumped to 3 (auto-migrates v2 sessions)
- Old 'hookMessage' role entries converted to 'custom'
Structural changes:
- src/core/hooks/ and src/core/custom-tools/ merged into src/core/extensions/
- src/core/slash-commands.ts renamed to src/core/prompt-templates.ts
- examples/hooks/ and examples/custom-tools/ merged into examples/extensions/
- docs/hooks.md and docs/custom-tools.md merged into docs/extensions.md
New test coverage:
- test/extensions-runner.test.ts (10 tests)
- test/extensions-discovery.test.ts (26 tests)
- test/prompt-templates.test.ts
- 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
- New utils.ts with shared functions:
- FileOperations type and createFileOps()
- extractFileOpsFromMessage()
- computeFileLists()
- formatFileOperations()
- serializeConversation()
- SUMMARIZATION_SYSTEM_PROMPT
- branch-summarization.ts now uses:
- Serialization approach (conversation as text, not LLM messages)
- completeSimple with system prompt
- Shared utility functions
- serializeConversation now takes Message[] (after convertToLlm)
- Handles all custom message types via convertToLlm
- Includes thinking blocks as [Assistant thinking]
- Removes truncation of tool args and results (already token-budgeted)
Instead of passing conversation as LLM messages (which makes the model
try to continue it), serialize to text wrapped in <conversation> tags.
- serializeConversation() formats messages as [User]/[Assistant]/[Tool result]
- Tool calls shown as function(args) format
- Tool results truncated to prevent bloat
- Conversation wrapped in <conversation> tags in the prompt
- SUMMARIZATION_SYSTEM_PROMPT explains the task clearly
- Tells model to NOT continue conversation, ONLY output summary
- Updated prompts to reference 'messages above' for clarity
- Pass systemPrompt to completeSimple
- CompactionDetails type with readFiles/modifiedFiles
- extractFileOperations collects from tool calls and previous compaction details
- UPDATE_SUMMARIZATION_PROMPT for merging with previous summary
- generateSummary now accepts previousSummary for iterative updates
- compact() extracts files, passes previousSummary, returns details
- Only merges from !fromHook compaction entries (backward compatible)
Prepends: 'The user explored a different conversation branch before
returning here. Summary of that exploration:'
This helps the LLM understand the summary is background context from
a different path, not the current thread being continued.
The old messagesToText only extracted text content, losing all tool calls.
Now uses convertToLlm like compaction does, preserving the full conversation
including tool calls, which is essential for generating useful summaries.
Both now use consistent sections:
- Goal
- Constraints & Preferences
- Progress (Done/In Progress/Blocked)
- Key Decisions
- Next Steps
- Critical Context (compaction only)
Prompts instruct LLM to use EXACT format and preserve file paths/function names.
- BranchPreparation now uses AgentMessage[] instead of custom type
- Reuse getMessageFromEntry pattern from compaction.ts
- Add BranchSummarySettings with reserveFraction to settings.json
- Add getBranchSummarySettings() to SettingsManager
- Use settings for reserveFraction instead of hardcoded value
- Add ReadonlySessionManager interface to session-manager.ts
- Re-export from hooks/index.ts
- Add collectEntriesForBranchSummary() to extract entries for summarization
- Don't stop at compaction boundaries (include their summaries as context)
- Add token budget support to prepareBranchEntries()
- Walk entries newest-to-oldest to prioritize recent context
- Use options object for generateBranchSummary()
- Handle compaction entries as context summaries
- Export new types: CollectEntriesResult, GenerateBranchSummaryOptions
- Move compaction.ts to src/core/compaction/compaction.ts
- Extract branch summarization to src/core/compaction/branch-summarization.ts
- Add index.ts to re-export all compaction utilities
- Update all imports across the codebase
