This change makes system prompt text and tool changes part of the transcript rather than silently rewriting its starting conditions. This lets Pi record when instructions changed or tools became available, restore that state after resuming or navigating branches, and preserve cached prompt prefixes where the upstream supports it.
Follow-up to e687434a6.
Recheck compaction state after navigation dialogs and response cancellation before replacing status indicators or escape handlers. Document navigation conflicts and add regression coverage.
* feat(coding-agent): ingest external entries in in-memory sessions
SessionManager.inMemory() takes the entries to start from, so a session
held outside the filesystem can be resumed as it was stored.
Replaying through appendMessage/appendCompaction cannot do this: ids are
minted fresh, so every stored firstKeptEntryId, targetId and fromId has to
be remapped, timestamps are rewritten, and parentId always comes from the
current leaf, so a branched tree needs the original branch() choreography
reproduced call by call.
The entry-adoption half of _setSessionFile becomes _loadEntries, which the
constructor also uses when there are entries but no file. Entries carrying
a session header keep it; without one, the header comes from the options
and the entries become its body.
* fix(coding-agent): carry the stored version through restored entries
inMemory() took SessionEntry[], which excludes SessionHeader, so an
external store could not pass the header it saved and the header branch of
_loadEntries was unreachable through the public API. A restore therefore
always synthesised a current-version header, and the migration that ran
next read that header and skipped: a v2 session kept its hookMessage roles
forever.
Widening to FileEntry[] lets the stored header through, version included.
Migration moves inside the header branch, where a version exists to compare
against; without a header the entries are adopted as current-version, which
is the only thing they can mean.
Move provider auth and OAuth flows onto pi-ai Models, compose models.json and extension overlays through ModelRuntime, and retain ModelRegistry as an extension compatibility facade.
* feat(coding-agent): add InlineExtension type for named inline extension factories
* test(coding-agent): update utilities and add regression test for InlineExtension

The --no-skills flag set options.skills = [] in main.ts, but the
interactive mode UI would rediscover skills anyway because it called
loadSkills() directly instead of using the already-loaded skills.
Changes:
- Add AgentSession.skills and AgentSession.skillWarnings properties
- discoverSkills() now returns { skills, warnings } instead of Skill[]
- Interactive mode uses session.skills instead of calling loadSkills()
- Update SDK docs and examples for new return type
Fixes#577

- Split context actions: ExtensionContextActions (required) + ExtensionCommandContextActions (optional)
- Rename LoadedExtension to Extension, remove setter methods
- Change runner.initialize() from options object to positional params
- Derive hasUI from uiContext presence (no separate param)
- Add warning when extensions override built-in tools
- RPC and print modes now provide full command context actions
BREAKING CHANGE: Extension system types and initialization API changed.
See CHANGELOG.md for migration details.
- Accept ExtensionFactory[] for inline extensions (merged with discovery)
- Mark preloadedExtensions as @internal (CLI implementation detail)
- Update sdk.md with inline extension example
- Update CHANGELOG
Breaking changes:
- Settings: 'hooks' and 'customTools' arrays replaced with 'extensions'

- API: discoverSlashCommands() renamed to discoverPromptTemplates()
- Directories: commands/ renamed to prompts/ for prompt templates
Migration:
- Session version bumped to 3 (auto-migrates v2 sessions)
- Old 'hookMessage' role entries converted to 'custom'
Structural changes:
- src/core/hooks/ and src/core/custom-tools/ merged into src/core/extensions/
- src/core/slash-commands.ts renamed to src/core/prompt-templates.ts
- examples/hooks/ and examples/custom-tools/ merged into examples/extensions/
- docs/hooks.md and docs/custom-tools.md merged into docs/extensions.md

- sdk.ts: make eventBus first (required) param for discoverHooks/discoverCustomTools
- docs/sdk.md: document eventBus sharing pattern for hook/tool communication
- Hook commands now execute immediately during streaming (they manage their own LLM interaction via pi.sendMessage())
- File-based slash commands are expanded and queued via steer/followUp during streaming
- prompt() accepts new streamingBehavior option ('steer' or 'followUp') for explicit queueing during streaming
- steer() and followUp() now expand file-based slash commands and error on hook commands
