Our lead story: the team swapped out its validation layer and moved its networking stack forward, while most visible fixes made tool discovery more accurate and Windows behavior more predictable.
First, foundation: schemas and networking. Commits introducing pi-schema describe a new JSON Schema builder and validator that compiles schemas into plain closures with no runtime code generation, passing most of the official test suite and sharply cutting memory use versus the prior library. Follow-up work wires…
Second, finding the right tool. Four linked pull requests overhaul ranking, including PR 11625, 11632, 11631, and 11037.
