Good morning, it's Saturday, November 14th, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
The clear pattern across both repos is hardening for real-world failure — mismatched model APIs, dropped sockets, aborted tool calls, and an expensive telemetry default.
First, provider compatibility. PR 12134 would flip the default instruction role on chat completions from developer back to system, after Groq's Qwen model rejected developer outright with a template error. That's paired with PR 12127 to retry bare socket codes like connection reset and timed out, which currently…
Second, clean state after interruption. Commit 4438c58 changes aborted tool batches so every pending call still gets a start event, an end event, and an aborted error result, instead of leaving calls with no result in the session. PR 12121 fixes the same class of gap for the copy command, skipping empty turns left…
Third, Pi Mono's app shell gets leaner and more explicit. Telemetry is now off unless enabled in settings, after recording cost one phone nearly two million spans, a gigabyte, and a third of a core in fifteen hours — that's commit 2993f25. Related fixes refuse telemetry-marked pages immediately when off, and only…
