 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed Bun-compiled release binaries failing to start when Bun's built-in undici shim lacks npm undici's `install` export ([#4657](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4657)).
 - Fixed Windows external editor handoff so vim/nvim can receive input after opening from the TUI ([#4612](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4612)).
 - Fixed Windows npm self-updates to move loaded native dependency packages out of the active install before reinstalling pi ([#4157](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4157)).
 - Fixed `pi update --self` detection for pnpm v11 global installs whose package path resolves through the pnpm store ([#4647](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4647)).
