* feat(session-manager): allow supplying custom session ID in newSession()
Add optional `id` field to `NewSessionOptions`. When provided, this ID
is used as the session ID instead of generating a random UUID. Existing
callers are unaffected since the field is optional and falls back to
`randomUUID()`.
Closes#2097
* test(session-manager): add tests for custom session ID in newSession()
Verify that newSession() uses the provided id when supplied, falls back
to randomUUID() when omitted, and includes the custom id in the session
header.
createBranchedSession() wrote the file and set flushed=true even when the
branched path had no assistant message. The next _persist() call saw no
assistant, reset flushed=false, and the subsequent flush appended all
in-memory entries to the already-populated file, duplicating the header
and entries.
Fix: defer file creation when the branched path has no assistant message,
matching the newSession() contract. _persist() creates the file on the
first assistant response.
closes#1672
- Store previousSessionFile before creating branched session
- Update sessionFile after writing new branch file
- Pass parentSession when forking from first message
- Add --local to git config in tests to prevent repo escape
Adds 'Threaded' as a new sort mode (now default) that displays sessions
in a tree structure based on parent-child relationships. The tree is
sorted by root session's modified date. Other sort modes (Recent, Fuzzy)
continue to show flat lists.
Sort mode cycles: Threaded -> Recent -> Fuzzy -> Threaded
* Add session renaming in interactive mode resume picker
Session list now displays last message timestamp as modified time
instead of file mtime. Ctrl+N enters rename mode in the interactive
resume picker, allowing quick session renaming without leaving the
selector. Rename hint is shown only in interactive mode, not in the
CLI --resume picker./
* Add docs entry for renaming in picker
* Update shortcut to ctrl+r for session renaming
When using `--session <UUID>`, the session lookup now:
1. Searches locally first (current project's session directory)
2. Falls back to global search across all projects
3. If found in different project, prompts user to fork the session
4. If not found anywhere, shows clear error instead of silently creating
a broken session with malformed path
Adds `SessionManager.forkFrom()` to create a forked session from another
project, preserving full conversation history with updated cwd.
- Add SessionInfoEntry type for session metadata
- Add /name <name> command to set session display name
- Add pi.setSessionName() and pi.getSessionName() extension API
- Session selector shows name (in warning color) instead of first message when set
- Session name included in fuzzy search
- /session command displays name when set
closes#650
- /resume and --resume now toggle between Current Folder and All sessions with Tab
- SessionManager.list() and listAll() are now async with optional progress callback
- Shows loading progress (e.g. Loading 5/42) while scanning sessions
- SessionInfo.cwd field shows session working directory in All view
- Lazy loading: All sessions only loaded when user presses Tab
closes#619

Based on discussion in #293
- CustomAgentTool renamed to CustomTool

- Add token budget support to prepareBranchEntries()
- Walk entries newest-to-oldest to prioritize recent context
- Use options object for generateBranchSummary()
- Handle compaction entries as context summaries
- Export new types: CollectEntriesResult, GenerateBranchSummaryOptions
- Add test/utilities.ts with shared helpers (API_KEY, userMsg, assistantMsg, createTestSession)
- Add agent-session-tree-navigation.test.ts with e2e tests for tree navigation
- Add getChildren() method to SessionManager
- Add summaryEntry to navigateTree return type
- Update existing tests to use shared utilities
- Check response.stopReason instead of catching errors for abort detection
- Return result object from _generateBranchSummary instead of throwing
- Fix summary attachment: attach to navigation target position, not old branch
- Support root-level summaries (parentId=null) in branchWithSummary
- Remove setTimeout hack for re-showing tree selector on abort
- Add TreeSelectorComponent with ASCII tree visualization
- Add AgentSession.navigateTree() for switching branches

Major changes:
- Replace monolithic SessionEvent with reason discriminator with individual
event types: session_start, session_before_switch, session_switch,
session_before_new, session_new, session_before_branch, session_branch,
session_before_compact, session_compact, session_shutdown
- Each event has dedicated result type (SessionBeforeSwitchResult, etc.)
- HookHandler type now allows bare return statements (void in return type)
- HookAPI.on() has proper overloads for each event with correct typing
Additional fixes:
- AgentSession now always subscribes to agent in constructor (was only
subscribing when external subscribe() called, breaking internal handlers)

- export-html formatMessage: exhaustive switch for all AgentMessage roles
- Removed isHookMessage, isBashExecutionMessage type guards in favor of role checks
- Fixed imports and removed unused getLatestCompactionEntry
Two bugs:
1. createCustomMessage was returning role: 'user' instead of preserving
the hook message structure (role: 'hookMessage', customType, etc.)
2. rebuildChatFromMessages wasn't clearing the container before rebuilding
- Renamed AppMessage to AgentMessage throughout
- New agent-loop.ts with AgentLoopContext, AgentLoopConfig

- Extracted streamProxy to proxy.ts utility
- Removed agent-loop from pi-ai (now in agent package)
- Updated consumers (coding-agent, mom) for AgentMessage rename
- Tests updated but some consumers still need migration
Known issues:
- AgentTool, AgentToolResult not exported from pi-ai
- Attachment not exported from pi-agent-core
- ProviderTransport removed but still referenced
- messageTransformer -> convertToLlm migration incomplete
- CustomMessages declaration merging not working properly
- Rename HookAppMessage to HookMessage, isHookAppMessage to isHookMessage

TUI can now correlate messages with their source entries to identify
custom_message entries and use hook-provided renderers.
content: string | (TextContent | ImageContent)[]
This matches the UserMessage type from pi-ai, so content can be
passed directly to AppMessage without conversion.
- CustomMessageEntry<T> type with customType, content, display, details
- appendCustomMessageEntry() in SessionManager
- buildSessionContext() includes custom_message entries as user messages
- Exported CustomEntry and CustomMessageEntry from main index
CustomEntry is for hook state (not in context).
