 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed tool-call preflight to stop preparing sibling tool calls after the run is aborted ([#4276](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4276)).
 - Fixed tail truncation for oversized single-line output that ends with a trailing newline ([#4715](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4715)).
 - Fixed Windows Node execution environment command spawns to hide helper console windows from background processes ([#4699](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4699)).

 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed extension `ctx.abort()` during tool-call preflight to stop later confirmations and restore queued interactive input like Escape ([#4276](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4276)).
 - Fixed AgentSession retry, compaction, and event settlement to use the awaited agent lifecycle instead of a separate event queue, and added `willRetry` to `agent_end` session events.
 - Fixed the subagent extension's parallel mode to return useful per-task output and failed-task diagnostics to the parent model instead of 100-character previews ([#4710](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4710)).
 - Fixed Windows local bash execution to hide helper console windows when launched from background SDK processes ([#4699](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/issues/4699)).
