pi 0.82.0 added Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic + Bedrock, adaptive thinking incl.
xhigh, 1M ctx / 128K out). Point the template at it:
- defaultModel: eu.anthropic.claude-opus-4-8 -> eu.anthropic.claude-opus-5
- enabledModels: add opus-5 at the head, drop opus-4-7 (superseded; 4-8 kept
as the previous-gen fallback so the picker stays at four entries)
- pi-fork deep tier: opus-4-8 -> opus-5 (fast=haiku-4-5, balanced=sonnet-5
unchanged)
README's settings-template snippet updated in the same commit to stay in sync.
Fresh machines / fresh pi-devbox volumes get this verbatim via the entrypoint
bootstrap. Existing volumes are unaffected: entrypoint-user.sh deep-merges
template-FIRST, live-SECOND with arrays as leaves, so live values win and no
model a user removed is re-added.
Show defaultModel = eu.anthropic.claude-opus-4-8 (the actual default) and add
the missing opus-4-8 entry to enabledModels so the README example matches
settings.example.json.
pi-fork balanced tier + enabledModels and the README examples now point at
eu.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5 (matches the live settings.json change made
before the container recreate).
settings.example.json is consumed by two very different deployments:
the native workstation (where pi-env.zsh sources ~/.config/pi/.env — the
path is real and correct) AND the pi-devbox image, which bakes this file
as the settings.json seed at /opt/pi-toolkit/. In the container there is
no ~/.config/pi/.env: env comes from the compose env_file. The old
comment pointed only at the workstation path, which is stale/misleading
inside the container.
Reword to 'Must match your AWS_REGION' — accurate in both contexts,
without asserting a path that exists in only one. Comment-only change;
no keys touched. The other ~/.config/pi/.env references (install.sh,
README, AGENTS, pi-env.zsh) are workstation-correct and left as-is.
Add pi-global-AGENTS.md, symlinked by install.sh to ~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md
(pi's global-instructions file, loaded at every startup). Directs the agent
to read the pi-extensions skill at session start and carries a core
fork/recall cheat-sheet, since on-demand skill description-matching was
leaving the extensions under-utilised.
Symlinked (not cp'd) like keybindings.json: pi never rewrites AGENTS.md, and
the entrypoint re-runs install.sh on every container start, so the directive
self-heals across container recreation / volume wipes.
Companion to the same addition in the cloud-init and ansible repos.
Caught real drift in those repos in a recent session only because
the user explicitly asked. Codify the sweep with concrete, repo-
specific drift hotspots rather than a vague 'watch for drift' rule
that gets ignored.
Each AGENTS.md addition lists the doc files most likely to fall
behind code changes here, plus a quick-triage one-liner using
'git diff --name-only HEAD | xargs grep -l ...' so the rule is
actionable not aspirational.
Pi-generic config artifacts (no mempalace dependency):
- pi-env.zsh: shell loader sourcing ~/.config/pi/.env for AWS_PROFILE /
AWS_REGION. POSIX-compatible (works in bash and zsh).
- keybindings.json: mosh/tmux newline bindings (shift+enter, ctrl+j, alt+j).
- settings.example.json: ~/.pi/agent/settings.json template so pi starts
without --provider/--model. Region-specific (Bedrock inference-profile
prefix).
install.sh mirrors mempalace-toolkit + opencode-toolkit patterns:
- require_pi_installed: hard exit 4 if ~/.pi/agent/ missing (cannot do
anything useful; user must install pi first).
- symlink keybindings.json (safe: pi doesn't rewrite it).
- cp pi-env.zsh into ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/ (portability over symlink,
that dir is part of dotfiles backups). Print source snippet for bash
/ plain-zsh users.
- settings.example.json NOT installed \u2014 pi rewrites settings.json at
runtime. check_pi_settings probe prints the cp command instead.
- check_aws_env: gated on settings.json selecting amazon-bedrock; silent
for non-Bedrock providers or missing settings.
- All probes warn + return 0, never halt.
- Non-destructive: backup on symlink collision, cmp-based drift detection
on the cp path, uninstall only removes copies whose content still
matches repo.
Split rationale: opencode-devbox's mempalace opt-out (~300 MB saved)
wants pi available without mempalace. That dependency asymmetry is
cleanest when pi's own config lives in its own repo, same shape as
opencode-toolkit split out earlier today.
The pi\u2194mempalace MCP bridge (mempalace.ts) stays in mempalace-toolkit
where it belongs \u2014 it imports pi's ExtensionAPI but only exists to
bridge to the palace.
Verified on tor-ms22: fresh install \u2192 drift detect \u2192 adopt canonical \u2192
uninstall \u2192 reinstall \u2192 zsh -ic loads AWS vars. Bash fallback path also
tested via HOME=/tmp/fake SHELL=/bin/bash.
