+## v0.79.0 — 2026-06-08
+
+First build on pi **`0.79.0`** (upstream `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` bump
+from `0.78.1`). Built `FROM` the freshly republished
+`joakimp/pi-devbox:base-pi-only` from opencode-devbox `v1.16.2`, which carries
+pi `0.79.0` (and picks up opencode `1.16.2` in the sibling opencode-bearing
+variants, though this pi-only image has no opencode).
+
+### Bumped: pi 0.78.1 → 0.79.0
+
+Resolved from the tag and asserted by the smoke base-freshness guard
+(`EXPECTED_PI_VERSION`). Highlights from the upstream `CHANGELOG.md`:
+
+- **Project trust for local inputs** — pi now asks before loading project-local
+  settings, resources, instructions, and packages, with saved decisions and
+  `--approve` / `--no-approve` controls for non-interactive modes, plus a
+  `project_trust` extension event so global/CLI extensions can decide or defer.
+- **Cache-hit visibility in the footer** — the interactive footer shows the
+  latest prompt cache hit rate (`CH`).
+- **Richer SDK/RPC extension surfaces** — public exports now include RPC
+  extension UI request/response types and package asset path helpers.
+- Plus a large batch of TUI and provider fixes (Kitty keyboard fallback,
+  prompt-history cursor placement, large-JSONL session reads, custom-provider
+  routing).
+
+### Smoke size threshold 2750 → 2850 MB
+
+Tracks opencode-devbox's `pi-only` variant, which was raised to 2850 MB in
+`v1.16.2` for headroom against the pi `0.79.0` bump (and routine apt drift).
+Kept in lockstep so this image's guard matches its source-of-truth variant.
