When an uncaught exception fires in interactive mode, the process dies with stdin still in raw mode and the cursor hidden, leaving the user with a "borked" terminal that needs `stty sane && reset` to recover. The most common trigger is an extension's async ChildProcess `exit` callback that throws (e.g. from accessing a stale ctx after session replacement), but this affects any uncaught throw from anywhere in pi. Add an uncaughtException handler in registerSignalHandlers that calls ui.stop() before exiting, mirroring the existing emergencyTerminalExit pattern. The handler is registered with prependListener and tracked in signalCleanupHandlers, so it is removed on graceful shutdown the same way the other handlers are. Unlike emergencyTerminalExit (used for SIGHUP / dead-terminal EIO), the terminal is still alive on uncaughtException, so we run the normal ui.stop() to restore cooked mode, the cursor, bracketed paste mode, and Kitty / modifyOtherKeys sequences.

Pi Agent Harness Mono Repo
This is the home of the pi agent harness project including our self extensible coding agent.
- @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent: Interactive coding agent CLI
- @earendil-works/pi-agent-core: Agent runtime with tool calling and state management
- @earendil-works/pi-ai: Unified multi-provider LLM API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, …)
To learn more about pi:
- Visit pi.dev, the project website with demos
- Read the documentation, but you can also ask the agent to explain itself
Share your OSS coding agent sessions
If you use pi or other coding agents for open source work, please share your sessions.
Public OSS session data helps improve coding agents with real-world tasks, tool use, failures, and fixes instead of toy benchmarks.
For the full explanation, see this post on X.
To publish sessions, use badlogic/pi-share-hf. Read its README.md for setup instructions. All you need is a Hugging Face account, the Hugging Face CLI, and pi-share-hf.
You can also watch this video, where I show how I publish my pi-mono sessions.
I regularly publish my own pi-mono work sessions here:

Development
npm install # Install all dependencies
npm run build # Build all packages
npm run check # Lint, format, and type check
./test.sh # Run tests (skips LLM-dependent tests without API keys)
./pi-test.sh # Run pi from sources (can be run from any directory)
Note:
npm run checkrequiresnpm run buildto be run first. The web-ui package usestscwhich needs compiled.d.tsfiles from dependencies.
