Pi v0.80.0: pi-ai API migration, Ctrl+J newline, and many fixes

Pi moves the old global pi-ai API (stream/complete/getModel/etc.) off the root entrypoint to a compat shim, paving the way for the new provider-factory API. Existing extensions are unaffected at runtime via a loader alias, but the compat entrypoint will be removed in a future release. Also adds Ctrl+J as a default newline keybinding and fixes numerous provider-scoped auth, session ordering, and streaming issues.

  • API deprecation: pi-ai's old global API (stream/complete/completeSimple, getModel/getModels/getProviders, registerApiProvider, getEnvApiKey, ...) moved from @earendil-works/pi-ai root to @earendil-works/pi-ai/compat. Extension loader resolves the root to compat, so existing extensions keep working. The compat entrypoint and loader alias will be removed in a future release with a migration guide.
