## What changed


- Extension `session_before_compact` and `session_compact` events include `reason` and `willRetry` metadata for distinguishing manual, threshold, and overflow compaction flows.
- `pi update` installs the exact checked Pi version; `--force` reinstalls that version; fails gracefully when no version is available.
- Update notifications show the actual changelog URL as the hyperlink text.
- Fixed `find` tool to respect nested git repository boundaries.
- Fixed OpenAI-compatible streaming to preserve encrypted `reasoning_details` arriving before matching tool call deltas.
- Fixed transient extension UI messages during session replacement/reload.
- Fixed plan-mode example to preserve custom tools and queue refinement correctly.
