### Fixed
+- Fixed auto-resized image handling to enforce the inline image size limit on the final base64 payload, return text-only fallbacks when resizing cannot produce a safe image, and avoid falling back to the original image in `read` and `@file` auto-resize paths ([#2055](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/2055))
- Fixed `pi update` for git packages to skip destructive reset, clean, and reinstall steps when the fetched target already matches the local checkout ([#2503](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/2503))
- Fixed print and JSON mode to take over stdout during non-interactive startup, keeping package-manager and other incidental chatter off protocol/output stdout ([#2482](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/2482))
