-
-### 4.3 Run modes
-
-| Mode | Class/Function | Đặc điểm |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Interactive** | `InteractiveMode` (5470 dòng) | Full TUI: chat history, editor, widgets, themes, overlays, keybindings |
-| **Print/JSON** | `runPrintMode()` | Pipe/script: plain text or JSON mode, no TUI |
-| **RPC** | `runRpcMode()` | JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout — dùng làm child process protocol |
-
-## 5. AgentSession class chi tiết
-
-### 5.1 Properties
-
-```typescript
-class AgentSession {
-  readonly agent: Agent;                    // Core agent instance
-  readonly sessionManager: SessionManager;  // Session file I/O
-  readonly settingsManager: SettingsManager;// Settings
-
-  // Model access
-  get model(): Model<any> | undefined;
-  get thinkingLevel(): ThinkingLevel;
-  get scopedModels(): Array<{model, thinkingLevel}>;
-
-  // Tool access
-  get toolNames(): string[];               // Currently active tools
-  get tools(): ToolInfo[];                 // All registered tools with metadata
-  getAllTools(): ToolInfo[];
-
-  // Context
-  getContextUsage(): ContextUsage | undefined;
-  isIdle(): boolean;
-
-  // Core operations
-  prompt(text, options?): Promise<void>;   // Send user message
-  abort(): void;                           // Abort current operation
-  shutdown(): void;                        // Graceful shutdown
-
-  // Model management
-  cycleModel(forward?): ModelCycleResult;  // Ctrl+P cycling
-  setModel(model): Promise<boolean>;       // Switch model
-  setThinkingLevel(level): void;
-
-  // Compaction
-  compact(options?): void;                 // Manual compaction
-  getSessionStats(): SessionStats;         // Usage stats
-}
-```
-
-### 5.2 Internal state machine
-
-Key internal flags:
-- `_steeringMessages[]` / `_followUpMessages[]`: Queued messages
-- `_compactionAbortController` / `_autoCompactionAbortController`: Compaction control
-- `_overflowRecoveryAttempted`: Context overflow recovery flag
-- `_retryAttempt` / `_retryPromise`: Auto-retry state
-- `_bashAbortController` / `_pendingBashMessages[]`: Bash execution state
-- `_turnIndex`: Current turn counter
-
-### 5.3 Tool hooks
-
-`_installAgentToolHooks()` installs interceptors on the Agent instance:
-- `beforeToolCall`: Check if extension wants to intercept/block
-- `onToolResult`: Check if extension wants to modify result
-
-## 6. Session Persistence (`session-manager.ts`)
-
-### 6.1 Session file format
-
-JSONL file (`.pi/sessions/{id}.jsonl`) với các entry types:
-
-| Entry Type | Purpose | Fields |
-|---|---|---|
-| `session` | Header | version, id, timestamp, cwd, parentSession |
-| `message` | AgentMessage (user/assistant/toolResult) | message |
-| `thinking_level_change` | Thinking level change | thinkingLevel |
-| `model_change` | Model switch | provider, modelId |
-| `compaction` | Compaction summary | summary, firstKeptEntryId, tokensBefore, details |
-| `branch_summary` | Branch navigation | summary, fromId, details |
-| `custom_message` | Extension-defined for LLM context | customType, content, display, details |
-| `custom` | Extension state (not in LLM context) | customType, data |
-
-Current version: `CURRENT_SESSION_VERSION = 3`
-
-### 6.2 Session tree
-
-- Mỗi session có `parentSession` reference (khi fork)
-- `SessionManager.forkFrom()` tạo session mới
-- `buildSessionContext()` dựng messages từ entries (cả compaction + branch summary)
-- `navigateTree()` di chuyển giữa các branch trong cùng session
-
-## 7. Compaction System
-
-### 7.1 Auto-compaction (`compaction/compaction.ts`)
-
-Default settings:
-```
-reserveTokens: 16384    # Dành cho system prompt + LLM response
-keepRecentTokens: 20000 # Giữ các messages gần đây
-```
-
-Process:
-1. `shouldCompact()` — kiểm tra context usage sau mỗi turn
-2. `findCutPoint()` — tìm vị trí cắt dựa vào file operations
-3. `prepareCompaction()` — build messagesToSummarize + turnPrefixMessages
-4. `compact()` — serialize → LLM summarize → return CompactionResult
-5. SessionManager lưu `CompactionEntry` + tạo session mới (reload)
-
-### 7.2 Branch summarization (`compaction/branch-summarization.ts`)
-
-Khi user navigate session tree, tạo summary của branch hiện tại:
-- `collectEntriesForBranchSummary()` — thu thập entries cần summarize
-- `prepareBranchEntries()` — extract messages + file operations
-- `generateBranchSummary()` — gọi LLM tạo summary
-
-### 7.3 Cut-point strategy
-
-Tìm cut-point dựa trên:
-- File operations: ưu tiên cắt ở điểm không có pending file modifications
-- Assistant messages: không cắt giữa tool calls
-- Keep recent tokens: giữ ít nhất `keepRecentTokens` cuối cùng
-
-## 8. Built-in Tools
-
-7 tools, mỗi tool có 2 representations:
-- `AgentTool` — runtime execution contract
-- `ToolDefinition` — type-safe definition với schema + render
-
-| Tool | File | Key params | Đặc điểm |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `read` | `tools/read.ts` | path, offset, limit | Head/tail truncation, image support |
-| `bash` | `tools/bash.ts` | command, timeout | AbortController, timeout |
-| `edit` | `tools/edit.ts` | path, edits[{oldText,newText}] | Exact replacement, multi-edit |
-| `write` | `tools/write.ts` | path, content | Overwrite/create |
-| `grep` | `tools/grep.ts` | pattern, path | Regex search |
-| `find` | `tools/find.ts` | pattern, path | File name glob |
-| `ls` | `tools/ls.ts` | path | Directory listing |
-
-**File mutation queue** (`file-mutation-queue.ts`): Serializes write operations to prevent
-parallel tool conflicts. Used internally by edit/write tools.
-
-## 9. Settings Manager (`settings-manager.ts`)
-
-Quản lý `settings.json` với các section:
-
-| Section | Key settings | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `compaction` | enabled, reserveTokens, keepRecentTokens | true, 16384, 20000 |
-| `retry` | enabled, maxRetries, baseDelayMs | true, 3, 2000 |
-| `retry.provider` | timeoutMs, maxRetries, maxRetryDelayMs | (SDK defaults) |
-| `terminal` | showImages, imageWidthCells, clearOnShrink, showTerminalProgress | true, 60, false, false |
-| `images` | autoResize, blockImages | true, false |
-| `thinkingBudgets` | minimal, low, medium, high | (per-level defaults) |
-| `markdown` | codeBlockIndent | "  " |
-
-Scope: global (`~/.pi/agent/settings.json`) + project-local (`.pi/settings.json`).
-
-## 10. Slash Commands
-
-21 built-in commands (`slash-commands.ts`):
-
-| Command | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `settings` | Open settings menu |
-| `model` | Select model (selector UI) |
-| `scoped-models` | Enable/disable models for Ctrl+P |
-| `export` | Export session (HTML/JSONL) |
-| `import` | Import session from JSONL |
-| `share` | Share as GitHub gist |
-| `copy` | Copy last message |
-| `name` | Set session display name |
-| `session` | Show session info + stats |
-| `changelog` | Show changelog |
-| `hotkeys` | Show keyboard shortcuts |
-| `fork` | Fork from previous message |
-| `clone` | Duplicate session |
-| `tree` | Navigate session tree |
-| `login`/`logout` | Auth management |
-| `new` | Start new session |
-| `compact` | Manual compaction |
-| `resume` | Resume different session |
-| `reload` | Reload extensions/skills/themes |
-| `quit` | Exit |
-
-## 11. RPC Mode
-
-JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol qua stdin/stdout:
-
-```typescript
-// Request
-{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "prompt", "params": { "text": "..." } }
-
-// Response
-{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": { "messages": [...], "usage": {...} } }
-
-// Notification (no id)
-{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "event", "params": { "type": "message_start", ... } }
-```
-
-Đây là protocol chính cho parent-child communication trong pi-subagents và pi-crew.
-
-## 12. Các điểm đáng chú ý
-
-1. **Interactive mode quá lớn** (5470 dòng) — chứa hầu hết slash command implementations
-2. **AgentSession quá lớn** (3099 dòng) — mixed concerns: prompt, compaction, bash, lifecycle
-3. **Extension type surface** (1545 dòng) — rất comprehensive nhưng complex
-4. **Lockstep versioning** — tất cả packages cùng version 0.70.5
-5. **jiti-based extension loading** — cho phép TypeScript extensions không cần compile
-6. **Virtual modules** — cho Bun compiled binary, bundle sẵn các dependencies

+### 4.3 Run modes
+
+| Mode | Class/Function | Đặc điểm |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Interactive** | `InteractiveMode` (5470 dòng) | Full TUI: chat history, editor, widgets, themes, overlays, keybindings |
+| **Print/JSON** | `runPrintMode()` | Pipe/script: plain text or JSON mode, no TUI |
+| **RPC** | `runRpcMode()` | JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout — dùng làm child process protocol |
+
+## 5. AgentSession class chi tiết
+
+### 5.1 Properties
+
+```typescript
+class AgentSession {
+  readonly agent: Agent;                    // Core agent instance
+  readonly sessionManager: SessionManager;  // Session file I/O
+  readonly settingsManager: SettingsManager;// Settings
+
+  // Model access
+  get model(): Model<any> | undefined;
+  get thinkingLevel(): ThinkingLevel;
+  get scopedModels(): Array<{model, thinkingLevel}>;
+
+  // Tool access
+  get toolNames(): string[];               // Currently active tools
+  get tools(): ToolInfo[];                 // All registered tools with metadata
+  getAllTools(): ToolInfo[];
+
+  // Context
+  getContextUsage(): ContextUsage | undefined;
+  isIdle(): boolean;
+
+  // Core operations
+  prompt(text, options?): Promise<void>;   // Send user message
+  abort(): void;                           // Abort current operation
+  shutdown(): void;                        // Graceful shutdown
+
+  // Model management
+  cycleModel(forward?): ModelCycleResult;  // Ctrl+P cycling
+  setModel(model): Promise<boolean>;       // Switch model
+  setThinkingLevel(level): void;
+
+  // Compaction
+  compact(options?): void;                 // Manual compaction
+  getSessionStats(): SessionStats;         // Usage stats
+}
+```
+
+### 5.2 Internal state machine
+
+Key internal flags:
+- `_steeringMessages[]` / `_followUpMessages[]`: Queued messages
+- `_compactionAbortController` / `_autoCompactionAbortController`: Compaction control
+- `_overflowRecoveryAttempted`: Context overflow recovery flag
+- `_retryAttempt` / `_retryPromise`: Auto-retry state
+- `_bashAbortController` / `_pendingBashMessages[]`: Bash execution state
+- `_turnIndex`: Current turn counter
+
+### 5.3 Tool hooks
+
+`_installAgentToolHooks()` installs interceptors on the Agent instance:
+- `beforeToolCall`: Check if extension wants to intercept/block
+- `onToolResult`: Check if extension wants to modify result
+
+## 6. Session Persistence (`session-manager.ts`)
+
+### 6.1 Session file format
+
+JSONL file (`.pi/sessions/{id}.jsonl`) với các entry types:
+
+| Entry Type | Purpose | Fields |
+|---|---|---|
+| `session` | Header | version, id, timestamp, cwd, parentSession |
+| `message` | AgentMessage (user/assistant/toolResult) | message |
+| `thinking_level_change` | Thinking level change | thinkingLevel |
+| `model_change` | Model switch | provider, modelId |
+| `compaction` | Compaction summary | summary, firstKeptEntryId, tokensBefore, details |
+| `branch_summary` | Branch navigation | summary, fromId, details |
+| `custom_message` | Extension-defined for LLM context | customType, content, display, details |
+| `custom` | Extension state (not in LLM context) | customType, data |
+
+Current version: `CURRENT_SESSION_VERSION = 3`
+
+### 6.2 Session tree
+
+- Mỗi session có `parentSession` reference (khi fork)
+- `SessionManager.forkFrom()` tạo session mới
+- `buildSessionContext()` dựng messages từ entries (cả compaction + branch summary)
+- `navigateTree()` di chuyển giữa các branch trong cùng session
+
+## 7. Compaction System
+
+### 7.1 Auto-compaction (`compaction/compaction.ts`)
+
+Default settings:
+```
+reserveTokens: 16384    # Dành cho system prompt + LLM response
+keepRecentTokens: 20000 # Giữ các messages gần đây
+```
+
+Process:
+1. `shouldCompact()` — kiểm tra context usage sau mỗi turn
+2. `findCutPoint()` — tìm vị trí cắt dựa vào file operations
+3. `prepareCompaction()` — build messagesToSummarize + turnPrefixMessages
+4. `compact()` — serialize → LLM summarize → return CompactionResult
+5. SessionManager lưu `CompactionEntry` + tạo session mới (reload)
+
+### 7.2 Branch summarization (`compaction/branch-summarization.ts`)
+
+Khi user navigate session tree, tạo summary của branch hiện tại:
+- `collectEntriesForBranchSummary()` — thu thập entries cần summarize
+- `prepareBranchEntries()` — extract messages + file operations
+- `generateBranchSummary()` — gọi LLM tạo summary
+
+### 7.3 Cut-point strategy
+
+Tìm cut-point dựa trên:
+- File operations: ưu tiên cắt ở điểm không có pending file modifications
+- Assistant messages: không cắt giữa tool calls
+- Keep recent tokens: giữ ít nhất `keepRecentTokens` cuối cùng
+
+## 8. Built-in Tools
+
+7 tools, mỗi tool có 2 representations:
+- `AgentTool` — runtime execution contract
+- `ToolDefinition` — type-safe definition với schema + render
+
+| Tool | File | Key params | Đặc điểm |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `read` | `tools/read.ts` | path, offset, limit | Head/tail truncation, image support |
+| `bash` | `tools/bash.ts` | command, timeout | AbortController, timeout |
+| `edit` | `tools/edit.ts` | path, edits[{oldText,newText}] | Exact replacement, multi-edit |
+| `write` | `tools/write.ts` | path, content | Overwrite/create |
+| `grep` | `tools/grep.ts` | pattern, path | Regex search |
+| `find` | `tools/find.ts` | pattern, path | File name glob |
+| `ls` | `tools/ls.ts` | path | Directory listing |
+
+**File mutation queue** (`file-mutation-queue.ts`): Serializes write operations to prevent
+parallel tool conflicts. Used internally by edit/write tools.
+
+## 9. Settings Manager (`settings-manager.ts`)
+
+Quản lý `settings.json` với các section:
+
+| Section | Key settings | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `compaction` | enabled, reserveTokens, keepRecentTokens | true, 16384, 20000 |
+| `retry` | enabled, maxRetries, baseDelayMs | true, 3, 2000 |
+| `retry.provider` | timeoutMs, maxRetries, maxRetryDelayMs | (SDK defaults) |
+| `terminal` | showImages, imageWidthCells, clearOnShrink, showTerminalProgress | true, 60, false, false |
+| `images` | autoResize, blockImages | true, false |
+| `thinkingBudgets` | minimal, low, medium, high | (per-level defaults) |
+| `markdown` | codeBlockIndent | "  " |
+
+Scope: global (`~/.pi/agent/settings.json`) + project-local (`.pi/settings.json`).
+
+## 10. Slash Commands
+
+21 built-in commands (`slash-commands.ts`):
+
+| Command | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `settings` | Open settings menu |
+| `model` | Select model (selector UI) |
+| `scoped-models` | Enable/disable models for Ctrl+P |
+| `export` | Export session (HTML/JSONL) |
+| `import` | Import session from JSONL |
+| `share` | Share as GitHub gist |
+| `copy` | Copy last message |
+| `name` | Set session display name |
+| `session` | Show session info + stats |
+| `changelog` | Show changelog |
+| `hotkeys` | Show keyboard shortcuts |
+| `fork` | Fork from previous message |
+| `clone` | Duplicate session |
+| `tree` | Navigate session tree |
+| `login`/`logout` | Auth management |
+| `new` | Start new session |
+| `compact` | Manual compaction |
+| `resume` | Resume different session |
+| `reload` | Reload extensions/skills/themes |
+| `quit` | Exit |
+
+## 11. RPC Mode
+
+JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol qua stdin/stdout:
+
+```typescript
+// Request
+{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "prompt", "params": { "text": "..." } }
+
+// Response
+{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": { "messages": [...], "usage": {...} } }
+
+// Notification (no id)
+{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "event", "params": { "type": "message_start", ... } }
+```
+
+Đây là protocol chính cho parent-child communication trong pi-subagents và pi-crew.
+
+## 12. Các điểm đáng chú ý
+
+1. **Interactive mode quá lớn** (5470 dòng) — chứa hầu hết slash command implementations
+2. **AgentSession quá lớn** (3099 dòng) — mixed concerns: prompt, compaction, bash, lifecycle
+3. **Extension type surface** (1545 dòng) — rất comprehensive nhưng complex
+4. **Lockstep versioning** — tất cả packages cùng version 0.70.5
+5. **jiti-based extension loading** — cho phép TypeScript extensions không cần compile
+6. **Virtual modules** — cho Bun compiled binary, bundle sẵn các dependencies
