Pi Mono: Sandboxes, Session Sync and Search Fixes
The codebase adds locked-down Gondolin sandbox environments and experimental cross-device session sync, paired with fixes for tool search, extension blocked status, and Windows process cleanup. The pattern is containment and continuity for agents running in P2 and remote environments.

Hello, it's Friday, November 6th, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.
The headline is containment plus continuity. The codebase added locked-down sandbox environments that agents can't escape, alongside experimental sync to carry sessions between devices.
First, sandboxes. Commit 2a32a60 introduces a new Gondolin environment type: a long-lived micro virtual machine reached over secure shell, with pinned host folders and an allow-list for web access. What matters is confinement is enforced in the agent layer — location tools, sub-agent spawning, terminals and one-shot…
Second, finding and signaling correctness. PR 11850 fixes tool search and code-mode summaries to follow local schema references, so nested models from Python servers with shared definitions are now searchable and described instead of invisible. Related, PRs 11851 and 11853 make extension overlays correctly report…
Finally, platform ergonomics. A new shell login command signs in without starting a session, Chord's reload now restarts changed plugins cleanly while old work drains, and release tags are built on the internal package feed so installs are ready at tag time.
What's next: expect sandbox testing and cost work to drive P2…
