Hello, it's Thursday, October 29th, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
The lead signal is containment. The codebase hardened how it runs and kills external work so runaway output or orphaned processes can't hang the agent.
First, process lifecycle. PR 11546 caps combined exec output at 256 megabytes, terminating oversized commands and reporting truncated and killed flags with a nonzero exit. It also closes output pipes so writing descendants can't keep the call pending, and breaks a typed contract — mocks that build execution results…
Second, terminal correctness. PR 11348 makes page up and page down work across selection lists, settings, autocomplete and coding-agent pickers, and lets a focused component capture viewport keys in fullscreen instead of scrolling the transcript. PR 11543 fixes the ANSI stripping utility to handle private-prefix…
