Good morning, it's Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
The lead pattern is persistence becoming real: durable storage is now a core subsystem, not an experiment, while a second wave of fixes makes flaky provider behavior replay safely.
First, durable backends. Three commits from Mario Zechner add a portable SQLite core with versioned migrations, a JSON-L backend, and strict versioned document storage with atomic updates, deltas, historical reads, and indexed queries. For developers, that means persisted inputs and memory move toward crash-safe,…
Second, replay and retry reliability. Codex can emit a signed empty final answer alongside real output, which was being replayed and polluting history — PR 9920 omits those empties and clears continuation state. Related, PR 9907 drops tool calls with blank names that providers reject and that previously poisoned…
Third, configuration and coverage. PR 9898 refreshes the coding agent docs for navigation and agent context, and PR 9880 publishes JSON schemas for models, settings, keybindings and themes with drift detection. Small UX fixes include preserving thinking levels across model switches, custom provider display names,…
