Cut v0.75.5b — fix cache-hit silent same-bytes regression
ALL FOUR releases v0.74.0 -> v0.75.5 had been shipping the same image
bytes due to a Docker layer-cache hit on the bare 'npm install -g
@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent' command (when PI_VERSION=latest).
The command string is identical across builds, so the layer-hash is
identical, so registry buildcache (cache-from/cache-to) silently
reuses the layer from whatever pi version was current when the cache
was first populated.

Verification: docker manifest inspect joakimp/pi-devbox:vX.Y.Z showed
identical SHA256 digests on both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 for
v0.74.0, v0.75.3, v0.75.4, v0.75.5. Users on :latest were getting
whatever pi version was baked into the v0.74.0 build.

DISCOVERED 2026-05-23 by user trying to update pi-devbox on MBP-M1
and seeing pi 0.74.0 reported despite pulling v0.75.5.

CHANGES

.gitea/workflows/docker-publish.yml — both smoke and publish jobs
get a new 'Resolve PI_VERSION from tag' step that strips the leading
'v' and any trailing letter suffix from github.ref_name. Result is
passed as a build-arg to docker/build-push-action so the npm install
layer's hash includes the concrete version, forcing cache miss when
pi bumps.

scripts/smoke-test.sh — new run_expect helper that asserts pi
--version contains the EXPECTED_PI_VERSION env var. Smoke job sets
this from the resolve step output. Would have caught this regression
on v0.75.3.

Dockerfile — comment block above ARG PI_VERSION=latest documenting
the cache-hit footgun. The 'if latest' branch in the install RUN is
preserved for local dev convenience but never fires in CI now.

AGENTS.md — new convention bullet explaining the cache-hit class of
bug and noting the latent same-bug in opencode-devbox's with-pi
variants (currently masked by OPENCODE_VERSION bumps; will manifest
when cutting a vN.N.Nb-style opencode-version-unchanged release that
only bumps pi).

CHANGELOG.md — full entry under v0.75.5b describing the recovery,
the silent-failure mechanism, and the verification steps.

NO IMAGE-CONTENT CHANGES vs v0.75.5 INTENT. This build produces the
actual pi 0.75.5 image content that v0.75.5 was supposed to ship.

NEXT FOLLOWUP (parked, not in this commit)

opencode-devbox should get the same workflow change for its
build-variant-with-pi and build-variant-omos-with-pi jobs. Currently
masked because every release also bumps OPENCODE_VERSION which
invalidates the cache, but that masking would fail on a pi-only bump
release.

Changelog

All notable changes to the pi-devbox container image.

Tags follow the pi npm version: v{pi_version}[letter] — bare tag for the first build on a new pi release, letter suffix (b, c, …) for container-level rebuilds on the same version.


Unreleased

v0.75.5b — 2026-05-23

Recovery release fixing a silent cache-hit regression discovered in the v0.75.5 image. All four releases v0.74.0 through v0.75.5 had been shipping the same image bytes because the Dockerfile's npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent (bare, when PI_VERSION=latest) produces an identical layer-hash across builds. Combined with the registry buildcache, Docker reused the layer from whatever pi version was current when the cache was first populated.

Verification: docker manifest inspect joakimp/pi-devbox:vX.Y.Z showed identical SHA256 digests on both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 for v0.74.0, v0.75.3, v0.75.4, v0.75.5. Users on :latest were getting whatever pi version was baked into the v0.74.0 build (probably 0.74.0 itself).

  • Workflow fix: Both smoke and publish jobs now derive PI_VERSION from github.ref_name (e.g. v0.75.5b0.75.5) and pass it as a build-arg. The Dockerfile's existing if PI_VERSION=latest branch never fires in CI now — always takes the @${PI_VERSION} branch — so the layer-hash includes the version and cache invalidates correctly.
  • Smoke test: New run_expect helper asserts pi --version output contains EXPECTED_PI_VERSION (passed from the resolve step). Would have caught this regression on v0.75.3 if it had existed.
  • Dockerfile: Comment added above ARG PI_VERSION=latest documenting the cache-hit footgun and pointing at the workflow's resolve step + AGENTS.md gotcha.
  • AGENTS.md: New convention bullet explaining the cache-hit class of bug and noting the latent same-bug in opencode-devbox's with-pi variants (currently masked by OPENCODE_VERSION bumps).

No image-side changes vs v0.75.5 intent — this build will produce the actual pi 0.75.5 image content that v0.75.5 was supposed to ship.

v0.75.5 — 2026-05-23

pi 0.75.40.75.5 bump (one upstream patch release, two days after v0.75.4).

Notable upstream changes (from pi's CHANGELOG):

  • Cleaner read tool output (collapsed cards show only the read line; Ctrl+O expands).
  • Faster file tools on Windows (async fs ops during streaming, image resize off the main TUI thread).
  • More reliable package updates (pi update reconciles git-pinned refs without losing settings).
  • Custom Anthropic-compatible adaptive thinking via compat.forceAdaptiveThinking.
  • Several bash/read tool card display fixes; macOS Bun clipboard sidecar resolution; per-session OpenCode-Zen routing headers; Amazon Bedrock token cap fix.

Plus a new pi 0.74.2 rescue release advising Node 20 users to upgrade Node before going to newer Pi versions — the devbox base image runs newer Node so this doesn't affect us, but worth noting for users running pi outside the devbox.

  • Bump: pi @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.75.5 baked at /usr/bin/pi (via PI_VERSION=latest resolving to 0.75.5 at build time — no Dockerfile change needed).
  • No image-side changes from v0.75.4 beyond the pi npm version. Built on joakimp/opencode-devbox:base-latest which itself is unchanged (cache-hit on base-35ee5fe7861a since v1.14.50b).

v0.75.4 — 2026-05-21

pi 0.75.30.75.4 bump (one upstream patch release). Plus the AGENTS.md documentation-drift sweep clause that landed on main between v0.75.3 and now.

  • Bump: pi @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.75.4 baked at /usr/bin/pi (via PI_VERSION=latest resolving to 0.75.4 at build time — no Dockerfile change needed).
  • AGENTS.md: documentation drift sweep as explicit pre-commit workflow step (commit ae6253a). Companion clause added across the wider repo set the same day.
  • No image-side changes beyond the pi npm version. Built on joakimp/opencode-devbox:base-latest which itself is unchanged (cache-hit on base-35ee5fe7861a since v1.14.50b).

v0.75.3 — 2026-05-18

pi 0.74.00.75.3 bump (one upstream minor + three patch releases since the initial pi-devbox release on 2026-05-14).

  • Bump: pi @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.75.3 baked at /usr/bin/pi (via PI_VERSION=latest resolving to 0.75.3 at build time).
  • No image-side changes from the v0.74.0 baseline beyond the pi npm version. The pi-toolkit + pi-extensions clones, mempalace bridge symlink, and NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX named-volume setup all unchanged.

v0.74.0 — 2026-05-14

Initial release.

  • pi @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.74.0 baked at /usr/bin/pi
  • pi-toolkit and pi-extensions cloned at build time; deployed to ~/.pi/agent/ by entrypoint on container start
  • mempalace bridge (mempalace.ts) symlinked from /opt/mempalace-toolkit/
  • Built on joakimp/opencode-devbox:base-latest
