+## Dynamic Tool Loading
+
+Pi 0.80.7 lets an extension register many tools while keeping only a small initial set active, then add more during execution — cache-friendly on models with native deferred loading. Lifecycle:
+
+1. Register every tool with `pi.registerTool()` (all appear in `pi.getAllTools()`).
+2. Keep a loader tool (e.g. `search_tools`) active; leave searchable tools inactive — e.g. on `session_start`, `pi.setActiveTools()` to the filtered set.
+3. During loader execution, call `pi.setActiveTools([...pi.getActiveTools(), ...matches])`. The change must be purely additive; unknown names are ignored.
+4. Pi records the added tools on that tool result and exposes their definitions before the next model response.
+
+Native deferred loading preserves the cached prompt prefix on Anthropic Sonnet/Opus/Fable ≥ 4.5 (not Haiku) and OpenAI `gpt-5.4`+; Kimi K3 works via `compat.deferredToolsMode: "kimi"` (Pi 0.80.9). For verified custom models/proxies, enable `compat.supportsToolReferences: true` (`anthropic-messages`) or `compat.supportsToolSearch: true` (`openai-responses`/`openai-codex-responses`). All other models fall back to sending the full active tool list on the next request — activation still works, but may invalidate the provider's cached prefix. Non-additive changes (removals/replacements) always use the fallback.
+
+Cache tips: keep the loader active for the whole session; add rather than replace. Activating a tool that has `promptSnippet`/`promptGuidelines` rebuilds the system prompt and can invalidate the prefix even with native support — lazily loaded tools should rely on their `description` alone.

For built-in model lookup use `getBuiltinModel(provider, modelId)` from `@earendil-works/pi-ai/providers/all`, or the provider-factory API (`createModels()` / `Models.getModel()`). Extensions loaded by Pi are unaffected at runtime — the extension loader aliases the pi-ai root to the compat superset — but standalone SDK scripts and typechecked extension sources must use the new paths. The selective `@earendil-works/pi-ai/base` / `@earendil-works/pi-agent-core/base` entrypoints introduced in 0.79.8 were removed again in 0.80.0.

 - `DefaultResourceLoader` loads extensions, skills, prompt templates, themes, and context files. Replace it to drive resource discovery from custom sources (and it must implement `loadProjectContextFiles()` if you want `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` discovery; that helper is also exported standalone).
 - Pass `shouldStopAfterTurn(state) => boolean` (Pi 0.72.0) to exit the agent loop gracefully after a completed turn.
 
+## Models & Auth (`ModelRuntime`)
+
+`ModelRuntime` (Pi 0.80.8) implements the pi-ai `Models` interface and owns credential storage. Auth resolution priority: runtime overrides (`setRuntimeApiKey`, not persisted) → stored credentials in `auth.json` → environment variables → fallback resolver for `models.json` keys.
+
+```typescript
+import { InMemoryCredentialStore } from "@earendil-works/pi-ai";
+import { ModelRuntime } from "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent";
+
+// Default: ~/.pi/agent/auth.json and ~/.pi/agent/models.json
+const modelRuntime = await ModelRuntime.create();
+
+// Model lookup (use pi-ai Models methods directly; the old
+// getAll()/find()/getSnapshot() projections were removed)
+const model = modelRuntime.getModel("my-provider", "my-model");
+const available = await modelRuntime.getAvailable();  // only models with valid auth
+
+// Provider-owned auth methods and current status
+for (const provider of modelRuntime.getProviders()) {
+  const status = await modelRuntime.checkAuth(provider.id);
+}
+
+modelRuntime.setRuntimeApiKey("anthropic", "sk-my-temp-key");
+
+// Custom locations, or inject any pi-ai CredentialStore
+const custom = await ModelRuntime.create({ authPath: "/my/auth.json", modelsPath: "/my/models.json" });
+const inMemory = await ModelRuntime.create({ credentials: new InMemoryCredentialStore() });
+```
+
+`ModelRuntime.getAuth(providerOrModel)` assembles final request auth (replacing `ModelRegistry.getApiKeyAndHeaders()` on the SDK side); passing a model also resolves built-in, `models.json`, and extension model headers. Dynamic provider catalogs refresh via async `ModelRuntime.refresh()` and are cached in `~/.pi/agent/models-store.json`.
+
+To match CLI model parsing, use the exported resolver helpers (Pi 0.80.4):
+
+```typescript
+import { resolveCliModel, resolveModelScopeWithDiagnostics } from "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent";
+
+const cliModel = resolveCliModel({ cliModel: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-8:high", modelRuntime });
+const { scopedModels, diagnostics } = await resolveModelScopeWithDiagnostics(
+  ["anthropic/*:high", "gpt-5"],
+  modelRuntime,
+);
+```
+
+`resolveCliModel()` resolves against all registered models (so `--api-key`-style first-time setup works before stored auth exists); `resolveModelScopeWithDiagnostics()` matches `--models`/`enabledModels` semantics and returns warnings instead of printing.
