Pi Mono: Unified File Listing and Model Routing Fixes

Environments gain a shared, ignore-aware file listing path across local, remote, and daemon layers, while model catalog and provider routing fixes reduce rejected requests. Agent startup and retry handling also get reliability hardening.

Good morning, it's Tuesday, October 13th, 2026.

The big signal this cycle is environments learning to list files on their own, so local and remote sessions share one fast, ignore-aware tree walk.

That's a three-part change. The core interface now offers an optional file listing operation that returns relative paths depth-first, skips dot-git and ignored files, and reports when results are truncated. The Rust-backed environment daemon implements it without following symlinks, with caps on entries, bytes, and…

Second theme: model routing got more precise. Pull request 10672 personalizes the OpenRouter catalog per key, keeping only chat models your key can use and carrying over context and pricing, including offline. That pairs with work to preserve the legacy catalog route for older clients, plus a fix to send OpenCode's…

Finally, run reliability. Pull request 10739 ensures runs started by custom messages go through full agent startup, preventing mid-run system prompt rewrites that break caching. Pull request 10830 keeps the retry budget across successful tool turns so error-tool-error loops actually exhaust. Underneath, a Chord fix…

Expect daemon upgrades to matter most, then catalog…
