Images stay visible without expanding, expand a row with ctrl+o to see the full command and results/diffs.

+## Vision tool
+
+`vision` is a query-driven image Q&A tool for models that can't see images:
+the agent asks a **specific question** ("which element has focus?", "what does
+the error banner say?") and a vision model from pi's own catalogue answers.
+pi's built-in `read` is untouched. Image loading delegates to it (resize,
+magic-byte mime detection, size caps); auth flows through pi's registry —
+this feature never stores credentials.
+
+```bash
+/vision set google/gemini-2.5-flash          # or model=provider/id, maxTokens=N
+/vision show                                 # current config + source
+/vision reset
+```
+
+`/vision set` live-validates: typos get "did you mean" suggestions, text-only
+models and missing auth are rejected immediately. Config lives in
+`~/.pi/agent/vision.json` (0600, follows `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`); env fallback
+`VISION_MODEL=provider/model`.
+
+Behavior notes:
+
+- **Self-hiding**: when the active model declares image input, the tool is
+  removed from the active set (schema and prompt guideline both vanish) and
+  comes back on a switch to a visionless model.
+- **Follow-ups**: `followUp: true` continues the previous thread for the same
+  image — the vision model sees its earlier Q&A, so relative references ("the
+  button below it") work. Prior turns replay as plain text with the image in
+  the final turn only, so a follow-up costs the same image tokens as a fresh
+  call. Threads key on path + size + mtime (a rewritten image starts clean),
+  capped at 8 threads / 10 turns, in-memory only.
+- Answers return as plain text (same trust model as any tool output); the
+  vision model's own system prompt refuses instructions embedded in the image.
+- Nested completion usage is reported back, so pi's session stats stay
+  accurate.
