The headline: small path mismatches were causing big reliability problems, especially on Windows, around skills, trust, and session resume.
First, Windows path casing. On Windows, lower and upper case drive paths are the same folder, but Pi was comparing them as exact text. That meant global skills loaded twice and reported as collisions, saved trust decisions were missed, and sessions and worktree config could disappear depending on casing. The fix in…
Related to that is project trust and session privacy. Pull request 11589 fixes saved distrust being ignored for projects with no sensitive resources, so an explicit do-not-trust choice now wins. Separately, pull request 11587 tightens session file permissions to owner-only, important on multi-user Linux systems,…
Finally, temporary extensions installed for one run now refresh from git branch refs and npm when a newer version exists, instead of sticking forever, with offline and failure fallbacks keeping the cached copy.
Second, terminal interface polish and scale. Pull request 11591 fixes wrapped styled text where a closing code landed on the next line, adding strikethrough…
