 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.6.17 - 2026-05-10
+
+### Changed
+- made `/oracle-auth` success and failure output easier to scan, with compact source summaries and source-specific troubleshooting for configured Chromium cookie sources
+- tightened README quickstart/command wording around preflight-first `/oracle` behavior, context-rich archive selection, cleanup retention, and preset defaults
+- added the resolved oracle model preset snapshot to `oracle_submit` queued/dispatched output so agents can see what preset will run
+- clarified `oracle_preflight` output so users can see that it validates the persisted pi session, local config, and ChatGPT auth seed created by `oracle_auth`
+- made direct `scripts/oracle-sanity.ts` execution fail fast unless isolated oracle state/jobs dirs are provided, preventing accidental sanity-job leakage into live oracle pollers
+
+### Fixed
+- stopped worker/auth readiness checks from treating ChatGPT's public logged-out composer shell as an authenticated ready state, and made stale-auth failures name the visible login controls instead of reporting a misleading partial-login state
+- made plain `instant` model selection robust against the current ChatGPT model menu by recognizing closed Instant chips and falling back to the top-level model menu when the configure sheet is unavailable
+
+## 0.6.16 - 2026-05-07
+
+### Changed
+- migrated the local pi development baseline and peer metadata from deprecated `@mariozechner/*` packages to maintained `@earendil-works/*` `0.74.0`
+- regenerated the npm lockfile against the current stable dependency graph and refreshed the `basic-ftp` override to the current patched major

 # pi-oracle
 
-`pi-oracle` is a `pi` package that lets the agent hand off difficult, long-running tasks to ChatGPT.com through the web app instead of the API.
+`pi-oracle` lets a `pi` agent send hard, long-running work to ChatGPT.com through the web app, with repo archives, background execution, saved results, and a best-effort wake-up back into `pi` when the answer is ready.
 
-Use it when you want:
-- your real ChatGPT account
-- web-model behavior instead of API usage
-- large repo/context uploads
-- async background execution
-- durable saved responses/artifacts plus best-effort wake-ups back into `pi`
+> Status: experimental public beta. Validated primarily on macOS with Google Chrome/Chromium and `pi` 0.65.0+. Normal oracle jobs run in an isolated browser profile, not your active browser window.
 
-Normal oracle jobs run in an isolated browser profile, not your active browser window.
+## What a successful run looks like
 
-> Status: experimental public beta. Validated primarily on macOS with Google Chrome and `pi` 0.65.0+.
+```text
+You: /oracle Review the pending changes. Include the whole repo unless a narrower archive is clearly better.
+
+pi-oracle:
+  1. preflights local session/auth readiness
+  2. builds a context-rich `.tar.zst` repo archive
+  3. starts an isolated ChatGPT web runtime in the background
+  4. uploads the archive and prompt to ChatGPT.com
+  5. saves the response/artifacts under /tmp/oracle-<job-id>/
+  6. sends a best-effort wake-up back to the matching pi session
+
+Later: /oracle-read <job-id>
+```
+
+What you are seeing: the local `pi` agent keeps control of context selection and safety checks, while ChatGPT web handles the expensive second-opinion work asynchronously. If the wake-up is missed, the result still lives on disk and can be read by job id.
+
+## Who this is for
+
+Use `pi-oracle` if you use `pi` and want a larger asynchronous reviewer, planner, or analyst that can use your real ChatGPT web account instead of an API model.
+
+It is most useful for:
+
+- maintainers reviewing broad repo changes before shipping
+- agents that need a slower second opinion without blocking the main `pi` turn
+- migration, architecture, or failure-mode analysis that benefits from a large archive
+- follow-up questions that should continue the same ChatGPT thread later
+
+Do not use it for:
+
+- short local coding tasks that `pi` can handle directly
+- projects that must never be uploaded to ChatGPT.com
+- non-macOS environments or machines without the required local browser/tooling
+
+## Problem it solves
+
+A normal coding-agent turn is the wrong shape for some work: the task may need a large repo snapshot, a slower web model, a real ChatGPT subscription, artifact downloads, or a durable result that arrives after the active turn ends.
 
-## When to use it
+`pi-oracle` makes that workflow explicit and recoverable instead of asking the main agent to manually drive ChatGPT in your real browser window.
 
-Use `pi-oracle` for:
-- big code reviews of a repo or pending changes
-- architectural or migration analysis that benefits from a large uploaded archive
-- long-running prompts that may take minutes to finish
-- follow-up questions in the same ChatGPT thread later
+## What it does
 
-Do not reach for it first for:
-- normal short coding tasks that `pi` can handle directly
-- workflows that must never upload project archives to ChatGPT.com
-- environments outside the current supported setup
+| Problem | Capability | Proof in this repo |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Hard tasks need more context than a quick turn should gather. | `/oracle` prompts the agent to preflight, choose a context-rich archive, and submit it to ChatGPT web. | [`prompts/oracle.md`](prompts/oracle.md), `oracle_submit`, archive tests in `scripts/oracle-sanity-*` |
+| Browser automation should not steal focus or mutate your active profile. | Jobs clone an authenticated seed profile into per-job isolated runtime profiles. | [`docs/ORACLE_DESIGN.md`](docs/ORACLE_DESIGN.md), [`extensions/oracle/lib/runtime.ts`](extensions/oracle/lib/runtime.ts) |
+| Long jobs need durability. | Job state, responses, logs, and artifacts persist under `${PI_ORACLE_JOBS_DIR:-/tmp}/oracle-<job-id>/`. | [`extensions/oracle/lib/jobs.ts`](extensions/oracle/lib/jobs.ts), `/oracle-read`, `/oracle-status` |
+| ChatGPT auth can expire or drift. | `/oracle-auth` refreshes the isolated auth seed from a configured local Chromium profile, with recovery guidance. | [`extensions/oracle/lib/auth.ts`](extensions/oracle/lib/auth.ts), [`docs/ORACLE_RECOVERY_DRILL.md`](docs/ORACLE_RECOVERY_DRILL.md) |
+| Agents need a simple API, not UI-driving instructions. | The package exposes agent-facing tools: `oracle_preflight`, `oracle_submit`, `oracle_read`, `oracle_auth`, and `oracle_cancel`. | [`extensions/oracle/lib/tools.ts`](extensions/oracle/lib/tools.ts) |

 ```
 
-GitHub:
+Or from GitHub:
 
 ```bash
 pi install https://github.com/fitchmultz/pi-oracle
 ```
 
-## Quickstart
+### 2. Check requirements
 
-1. Start a normal persisted `pi` session. Do not use `pi --no-session` for oracle.
-2. Make sure ChatGPT already works in your configured local browser profile.
-3. Make sure these are installed: Google Chrome, `agent-browser`, `tar`, and `zstd`.
-4. Optional: create `~/.pi/agent/extensions/oracle.json` if you want non-default settings.
-5. Run `/oracle-auth`.
-6. Run `/oracle Review the current pending changes. Include the whole repo unless a narrower archive is clearly better.`
-7. Wait for the one-time best-effort wake-up, or check `/oracle-status`.
+You need:
 
-The `/oracle` prompt now runs an early oracle preflight before it gathers repo context, so missing persisted-session or local auth/config blockers fail before the agent spends time reading files.
+- macOS
+- Node.js 22 or newer
+- `pi` 0.65.0 or newer
+- Google Chrome or another Chromium-family browser
+- ChatGPT already signed in to the configured local browser profile
+- `agent-browser`, `tar`, and `zstd` available on the machine
+- a normal persisted `pi` session, not `pi --no-session`
+
+### 3. Sync ChatGPT auth once
+
+```text
+/oracle-auth
+```
+
+This reads ChatGPT cookies from your configured local browser profile and writes an isolated oracle seed profile. It should not automate your active browser window for normal jobs.
+
+### 4. Submit a tiny job
+
+```text
+/oracle Read README.md and package.json. Tell me in five bullets what this package does and who should not use it.
+```
 
-For explicitly narrow requests, `/oracle` should still prefer a context-rich relevant archive up to the 250 MB ceiling, including nearby tests, docs, config, and adjacent modules when that can improve answer quality. Reserve tightly minimal archives for an explicit user request for a tight archive, privacy-sensitive material, or size-constrained cases. It should also omit `preset` and use the configured default model unless the task clearly needs a different one.
+Expected result:
 
-If a local archive still exceeds the 250 MB limit after default exclusions and automatic whole-repo pruning, the agent should treat that as a retryable archive-selection failure: shrink the archive automatically, retry with a smaller relevant slice, and explain what it cut only if it still cannot fit after the allowed retry budget.
+- The `/oracle` prompt now runs an early oracle preflight before expensive repo reading or archive creation.
+- The agent chooses a context-rich relevant archive up to the 250 MB ceiling, not the smallest possible one-file slice when nearby context helps.
+- `oracle_submit` creates or queues a job.
+- If local packing is too large, the prompt treats that as a retryable archive-selection failure and narrows automatically before surfacing the problem.
+- The job uploads a repo archive to ChatGPT.com, capped at 250 MiB after default exclusions/pruning.
+- The response is saved under `/tmp/oracle-<job-id>/response.md` by default.
+- The matching `pi` session gets one best-effort wake-up when the job finishes.
 
-If you miss the one-time wake-up, the result is still saved durably in the oracle job directory and can be read later.

-If concurrency is full, the job is queued and starts automatically later.
+Key design choices:
 
-## What the package adds
+- **Prompt templates own context gathering.** `/oracle` and `/oracle-followup` tell the agent how to preflight, gather context, choose archive inputs, and then stop after dispatch.
+- **Tools own execution.** `oracle_submit` builds the archive, admits or queues the job, starts the worker, and returns immediately.
+- **Auth uses a seed profile.** `/oracle-auth` imports cookies into an isolated seed profile; each job clones that seed into its own temporary runtime profile.
+- **Follow-ups preserve ChatGPT thread state.** `/oracle-followup <job-id> ...` resolves the prior job's saved ChatGPT URL and submits the next prompt with `followUpJobId`.
+- **Wake-up is best effort, storage is durable.** A missed wake-up does not lose the result.
+

 User-facing commands:
-- `/oracle <request>` — prompt template that tells the agent to gather context and dispatch an oracle job
-- `/oracle-followup <job-id> <request>` — prompt template that continues an earlier oracle job in the same ChatGPT thread
-- `/oracle-auth` — sync ChatGPT cookies from your configured local browser profile into the isolated oracle auth profile
-- `/oracle-read [job-id]` — inspect job status plus the saved response preview
-- `/oracle-status [job-id]` — inspect job status and list recent job ids when no explicit id is given
-- `/oracle-cancel <job-id>` — cancel a queued or active job by id
-- `/oracle-clean <job-id|all>` — remove temp files for terminal jobs; recently woken terminal jobs may stay retained briefly and return a retry-after hint
+
