Pi Mono: Clean Shutdowns, Leaner Reads, Tighter Agent Tools
Yesterday's work centered on finishing cleanly under shutdown, interruption, and large inputs, plus tighter controls for P2 subagents. The highest-impact fixes stop lost OAuth tokens on exit and cut read-tool memory from hundreds of megabytes to near baseline.

Good morning, it's Thursday, November 5th, 2026.
The throughline is finishing work cleanly — saving credentials before exit, settling tool results before disposal, and handling large or oddly encoded files without crashing.
First, shutdown reliability. In remote procedure mode, a background catalog refresh could spend a single-use OAuth refresh token, then exit before the new token was saved, leaving authentication broken on next launch. The fix in pull request 11812 tracks pending credential writes and waits for them during session…
Second, core tools get leaner and more truthful. The read tool no longer loads whole files to serve a few lines. Pull request 11750 streams and counts lines, dropping peak memory on a 200 megabyte log from over 600 megabytes to near baseline and avoiding crashes on very large files. Around it are correctness fixes:…
Finally, the P2 agent platform tightens who can call what. Commit 07c9e5b gives tools an origin and scope, checked centrally, with subagents inheriting only what the caller can give. That pairs with code mode for subagents, a new terminal tool for driving session terminals, and inline rendering of artifacts at the…
