Good morning, it's Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. You're listening to Pi Mono.
The through-line is footprint and friction: session workers got dramatically leaner, and a cluster of Windows and interface fixes removes stale results and visual corruption.
First, P2 performance. Three commits together cut worker memory and switch cost. One change stops workers from parsing inline source maps at startup and defers facet maps until first use, dropping a phone test session from 216 to 140 megabytes resident and heap used from 97 to 36. A second caps the young generation…
Second, Windows correctness. PR 11972 fixes find path patterns breaking across fd versions, after a new fd release made every slash pattern return nothing. PR 11974 closes a related leak where an aborted find still started fd in the background. PR 11964 reports true exit codes on Windows PowerShell 5, which had…
Third, session and terminal behavior. PR 11975, merged as commit 4ea8837, offers fork when a session folder no longer exists, creating a copy with a new ID instead of asking again every launch. PR 11952 makes bash calls a barrier so parallel reads can't race a command, and PR 11966 stops background writes while the…
