PR 3300 fixed codex sessions in a shared working directory that were resuming a sibling's conversation instead of their own — five sessions sharing one UUID, in one observed case. PR 3325 found a related bug in the pi agent's fallback logic: when session headers fail to parse, it picked the most recently modified…
PR 3289 tackled the same theme from another angle: swapping an agent's underlying tool — say, from Claude to Pi — used to leave the old engine's session ID, model, and ACP state behind, causing the next launch to try resuming a foreign session. The fix, refined across several review rounds, now parks each engine's…
