Pi v0.79.0: project trust for project-local inputs, extension-controlled trust, cache-hit footer

Pi 0.79.0 introduces a project-trust mechanism that asks before loading project-local settings, resources, instructions and packages, lets global/CLI extensions decide or defer the trust decision, and adds prompt cache-hit visibility to the status footer. Non-interactive modes get --approve / --no-approve controls.

New capabilities

  • Project trust: Pi asks before loading project-local settings, resources, instructions, and packages, with saved decisions and --approve / --no-approve controls for non-interactive modes. (#5332)
  • New project_trust extension event lets global and CLI extensions decide, remember, or defer project trust before project-local resources load.
  • Interactive footer now shows the latest prompt cache hit rate (CH).
  • Public SDK now exports RPC extension UI request/response types and package asset path helpers. (#5455, #5415)

Fixed (selected)

  • Removed stale ./hooks package subpath pointing at non-existent build output.
  • /reload now persists project trust when an implicitly trusted session creates a project .pi directory.
  • Shift+Enter handling fixed via response-driven Kitty keyboard protocol fallback. (#5188)
  • OpenRouter routing preferences work on OpenAI-compatible custom providers with indirect base URLs. (#5347)
