Good morning, it's Monday, November 2nd, 2026, and this is Pi Mono.

The lead story is a coordinated migration off TypeBox onto pi-schema for validation, touching the agent stack and Chord contracts, alongside fixes for execution edge cases where timing and restarts could cause failures.

First, schemas. Two commits, be-zero-three-nine-f-b and six-five-three-six-f-eight-zero, move Chord schema helpers and tool argument validation to pi-schema. The JSON output and stored data fingerprints are unchanged, proven against stores written by the old code. For developers, there are two catches: validation…

Second, reliability under waits and restarts. In PR 11672, code mode deadlines now suspend while waiting for human input, with the wait interval persisted in the durable run document so a restart preserves the remaining budget. Overlapping waits share one interval, and late events can't reopen a resolved wait.…

Also noteworthy: commit zero-f-two-one-a-three-three reuses syntax highlighting and rendered markdown blocks in the T-U-I to cut re-render work while streaming, and PR 11659 adds model G-L-M 5.3 to the individual token plan allowlist.

What's next: expect to update imports for tool…
