Pi Mono: Durable Sleep, Crash Guards, and Trust Fixes
Durable tasks gained restart-safe sleep, injectable host timers, a crash-loop guard, and typed failure reports, while agent fixes closed a compaction ordering bug and a trust bypass. Small TUI, Windows, and extension updates round out the week.

Good morning, it's Sunday, October 18th, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
Our lead story is reliability for long-running work. The Durable system now sleeps, survives crashes, and reports failures in a way hosts can act on.
First, sleep without holding memory. In commit f 75 b 324, tasks can end a phase asleep with a deadline and checkpoint, with no invocation held open. The deadline survives restarts and the task resumes at its checkpoint when due. Pull request 11079 adds the other half: an injectable timer hook alongside the existing…
Second, crash loops and observability. In commit a 30 c 2 a 8, opens count restarts per task, and at the restart limit, five by default, the task is parked as blocked until a manual retry. Settings also control whether inputs queued behind a failed run are kept, continued, or withdrawn. In commit 91 b 33 c a, status…
Elsewhere, two agent correctness fixes matter. Pull request 11077 queues a send-message trigger until manual compaction finishes, preventing a concurrent run on uncompacted context that corrupted message order. Pull request 11074 honors a saved do-not-trust decision even when a project has no trust-requiring…
Finally, interface polish and…
