Good morning, it's Saturday, November 7th, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
The lead pattern is trust in the basics: edits that leave untouched lines alone, search that looks where you told it to, and model requests that servers actually accept.
First, the coding agent's file tools. In pull request 11751, the edit tool stops normalizing an entire file to one line ending. Mixed endings and lone carriage returns outside your change now keep their bytes, and new lines borrow the ending of the line they replace. Just as important, diffs are now computed before…
Second, provider compatibility. Pull request 11891 stops sending an empty tools list when history contains tool calls but the next request has no tools. That empty list triggered a 400 error on newer V L L M versions. It is now omitted by default, with a compatibility flag for older proxies that still expect it. Two…
Finally, display control. A new detail setting, level one to four, lets owners collapse thinking and tool calls onto wheels or expand them fully, and a TUI fix in pull request 11890 draws full-screen Kitty images after the rows they cover, fixing truncated images in Orca and WezTerm.
