 # Changelog
 
+## [0.84.3] - 2026-08-24
+
+### New Features
+
+- **PowerShell tool** — Use optional native PowerShell command execution on Windows. See [PowerShell Tool](docs/windows.md#powershell-tool).
+- **Safer managed updates** — Stage, verify, and atomically activate updates for installer-managed installations. See [Install and Manage](docs/packages.md#install-and-manage).
+- **Model and thinking controls** — Select thinking levels with `/thinking`, search defaults, keep selections session-scoped, and persist them explicitly with Ctrl+S. See [Models and Thinking](docs/keybindings.md#models-and-thinking).
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Renamed the inherited `GoogleThinkingLevel` type to `GoogleApiThinkingLevel` and added `ResolvedGoogleThinkingLevel` for normalized adapter levels.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added an optional `powershell` tool for Windows, configurable through `defaultTools` and the SDK. See [PowerShell Tool](docs/windows.md#powershell-tool).
+- Added a `/thinking` selector and searchable default choices to the model and thinking selectors; Ctrl+S saves the selected model as the global default. See [Models and Thinking](docs/keybindings.md#models-and-thinking).
+- Added optional routing session IDs to exported compaction summary helpers so callers can preserve provider routing without enabling prompt cache writes.
+- Added transcript usage notices for compaction and branch summaries when cache miss notices are enabled.
+- Added `session_compact_failed` extension events so compaction failures and aborts expose their reason, retry state, source, and error message to handlers ([#8175](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8175)).
+- Added inherited provider-neutral `toolChoice` support to simple stream requests.
+- Added inherited automatic Anthropic server-side refusal fallback for supported first-party models, including returned-model usage pricing ([#8017](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8017)).
+- Added inherited configurable OpenAI-compatible thinking-token budget fields for vLLM, Qwen/SGLang, and llama.cpp servers. See [OpenAI Compatibility](docs/models.md#openai-compatibility) ([#8275](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8275) by [@bnsd55](https://github.com/bnsd55)).
+- Added inherited China-specific ZAI Coding Plan models, including GLM-4.6V vision support and API-equivalent usage cost estimates ([#8220](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8220)).
+- Added inherited `deepseek-v4-pro-0813` support to the Qwen Token Plan Individual catalog ([#8194](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8194)).
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed experimental installer-managed installations so `pi update` stages, verifies, and atomically activates the selected release in place. See [Install and Manage](docs/packages.md#install-and-manage).
+- Changed inherited built-in xAI models to use the Responses API with encrypted reasoning replay and made Grok 4.6 the default xAI model ([#8124](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8124) by [@Jaaneek](https://github.com/Jaaneek)).
+- Changed inherited Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Google, Mistral, and OpenAI adapters to send Pi's default `User-Agent` unless overridden ([#8305](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8305)).
+- Changed Windows and WSL keybinding defaults to avoid terminal-reserved shortcuts for image paste, model cycling, editor undo, fullscreen transcript navigation and search, and message queueing ([#8372](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8372)).
+- Changed Bun release archives to ship the native clipboard binary only inside the wrapper package, removing a duplicate platform package from each archive.
+- Changed package resource glob expansion to use Node.js's built-in implementation with deterministic visible-path matching, reducing the installed runtime dependency tree.
+- Changed the bundled Node.js runtime to load jiti only when importing an extension and Babel only when uncached source needs transformation, reducing CLI startup time and bundle size.
+- Changed syntax highlighting to initialize only twenty common languages eagerly and defer the remaining grammars until after the initial TUI render, reducing CLI startup time.
+- Changed the Node.js CLI and RPC entrypoints to load a bundled runtime, reducing startup filesystem reads while keeping the public library and legacy module paths on the modular runtime for normal dependency identity.
+- Changed session sharing to render clickable terminal links, display only the canonical Radius artifact URL, and include the current system prompt and active tool definitions in Radius session shares.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed failed extension factories leaving event subscriptions, provider registrations, and default flag state active ([#8424](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8424) by [@acmerfight](https://github.com/acmerfight)).
+- Fixed `models.json` typings omitting the documented OpenAI-compatible `compat.supportsFinishReason` provider and model override ([#8487](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8487) by [@petrroll](https://github.com/petrroll)).
+- Fixed `/model` and `/thinking` selections being persisted globally unless explicitly saved with Ctrl+S ([#5263](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/5263)).
+- Fixed JSON and RPC `toolcall_start` events omitting the tool call id and name ([#7953](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/7953) by [@christianklotz](https://github.com/christianklotz)).
+- Fixed extensions failing to load when the Node.js CLI runs as a single-executable application ([#8237](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8237)).
+- Fixed nested Markdown skills inside `.agents/skills/` grouping directories not being discovered.
+- Fixed compaction and branch summarization requests exposing tools to providers.
+- Fixed single-object `edit` tool inputs failing validation by accepting them as one-edit arrays in both coding-agent and harness edit tools ([#7835](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7835)).
+- Fixed root Markdown files such as `README.md` and `AGENTS.md` in skill directories being reported as broken skills unless they declare valid skill frontmatter ([#7805](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7805)).
+- Fixed the default Cerebras model referencing an unavailable Z.AI model.
+- Fixed inherited OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions reasoning replay to preserve and resend assistant-level `reasoning_details` verbatim and in order ([#7994](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7994)).
+- Fixed inherited Anthropic server-side fallback responses being priced with the requested model instead of the returned fallback model ([#8285](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8285)).
+- Fixed inherited GitHub Copilot login triggering model-policy rate limits by limiting policy updates, retrying model discovery once, and honoring server retry delays ([#7850](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7850)).
+- Fixed inherited Amazon Bedrock dropping and failing to replay opaque redacted reasoning from non-Anthropic models ([#8314](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8314) by [@seiji](https://github.com/seiji)).
+- Fixed inherited Z.AI Coding Plan models deriving incomplete reasoning-effort metadata, including missing GLM-5.3 low, high, and max levels ([#8336](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8336)).
+- Fixed inherited DeepSeek V4 Flash on OpenCode and OpenCode Go omitting its supported low thinking level ([#8181](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/pull/8181) by [@tianshuang](https://github.com/tianshuang)).
+- Fixed inherited Azure OpenAI Responses ignoring `toolChoice` in provider-specific stream requests.
+- Fixed inherited Amazon Bedrock response hooks receiving only a synthesized request id instead of the raw response headers ([#8234](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8234)).
+- Fixed inherited Kimi usage reporting so top-level `cached_tokens` count as cache reads instead of normal input tokens ([#8075](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8075)).
+- Fixed inherited Google custom models ignoring `thinkingLevelMap`, which dropped extended thinking controls ([#8135](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8135)).
+- Fixed writes to `auth.json` and `models-store.json` overriding administrator-managed file permissions and ACLs ([#7779](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7779)).
+- Fixed UTF-8 BOM markers preventing frontmatter and user configuration files from loading ([#8337](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8337)).
+- Fixed invalid settings files being easy to miss during interactive startup by rendering warnings with the file path inside the TUI ([#7829](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7829)).
+- Fixed the subagent example repeatedly prompting before running project-local agents in trusted repositories ([#8261](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8261)).
+- Fixed npm package update checks treating older registry versions as available updates, preventing `pi update` from downgrading already-newer installed packages ([#8226](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8226)).
+- Fixed built-in llama.cpp models disappearing from `/model` when `/llama` refreshed a configured server under `PI_OFFLINE`, and included idle-slept `sleeping` router models in the selectable catalog ([#8167](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8167)).
+- Fixed `pi.registerFlag()` accepting default values that do not match the declared flag type ([#8064](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8064)).
+- Fixed Z.AI Coding Plan defaults referencing the removed GLM-5.1 model ([#8096](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8096)).
+- Fixed repeated ambiguous truncated-response recovery being mislabeled as context overflow ([#8130](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8130)).
+- Fixed duplicate fullscreen right-click paste in VS Code-based terminals on Windows ([#8186](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8186)).
+- Fixed inherited padded text exceeding narrow terminal widths ([#8252](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8252)).
+- Fixed inherited wrapped Markdown table links leaking color into borders and neighboring cells, including tables inside blockquotes ([#8335](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8335)).
+- Fixed llama.cpp login guidance to direct users to `/llama` before `/model` when no local models are loaded ([#8203](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8203)).
+- Fixed hung pi.dev model catalog requests consuming the entire refresh deadline without retrying ([#8198](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8198)).
+- Fixed inherited Xiaomi model catalogs listing shut-down MiMo V2 models in `/model` and `--list-models` ([#8187](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8187)).
+- Fixed branch summary entries recording the navigation destination in `fromId` instead of the pre-navigation source leaf.
+- Fixed threshold auto-compaction being skipped when providers omit streaming usage data ([#8328](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/8328)).
+- Fixed dash-prefixed prompts being parsed as options by supporting `--` as an end-of-options delimiter ([#7269](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/7269)).

 `openrouter` sends `reasoning: { effort }`. `deepseek` sends `thinking: { type: "enabled" | "disabled" }` and `reasoning_effort` when enabled. `together` sends `reasoning: { enabled }` and also `reasoning_effort` when `supportsReasoningEffort` is enabled. `qwen` is for DashScope-style top-level `enable_thinking`. Use `qwen-chat-template` for local Qwen-compatible servers that read `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking` and need `preserve_thinking`. Use `chat-template` for configurable `chat_template_kwargs`, for example DeepSeek V3.x behind vLLM with `chatTemplateKwargs: { "thinking": { "$var": "thinking.enabled" } }`. Use `thinkingFormat: "baseten"` with `chatTemplateArgs` when the provider expects toggle values under `chat_template_args` and optionally supports top-level `reasoning_effort`.
+`thinkingTokenBudgetField` sends a clamped per-level thinking budget as a top-level request field (`thinking_token_budget` on vLLM, `thinking_budget` on Qwen/SGLang, `thinking_budget_tokens` on llama.cpp). `supportsThinkingTokenBudget: true` is an alias for the vLLM field name. Do not combine it with `reasoning_effort` on DashScope Qwen models.
 `cacheControlFormat: "anthropic"` applies Anthropic-style `cache_control` markers to the system prompt, last tool definition, and last user, assistant, or tool-result text content.
