Good morning, it's Wednesday, October 7th, 2026, you're listening to Pi Mono.
The throughline today is making long-running agents cheaper and more predictable, with a second push on provider correctness and terminal reliability.
First, durable conversations. A series of runtime commits keeps each conversation's last read range in memory for about ten minutes, so repeat reads only scan new entries instead of re-deriving the whole transcript. A related fix moves a leading system message to the front of the context, which restores prompt…
Second, model providers behaving as configured. In PR 10569, the OpenRouter model list is filtered by what the active key is actually allowed to use, using authenticated discovery alongside public metadata. In PR 10142, Bedrock's conversation adapter, which only sent thinking levels for Claude, now passes the…
Third, terminal interface fixes. In PR 10567, fullscreen selection is now cleared on transcript rebuilds, preventing stale highlights after session switches. In PR 10580, manual scroll position is preserved when tool output above the viewport shrinks, stopping unwanted jumps to the bottom. A Windows input fix…
Also notable, in PR 10553 codemode…
