Pi Coding Agent 0.84.3 adds PowerShell

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT X

Pi Coding Agent 0.84.3 adds optional native PowerShell execution on Windows, safer atomic updates, searchable thinking controls, and broader provider support. Released August 24, the update targets reliability and workflow polish for terminal-based AI coding. [GitHub release](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/releases/tag/v0.84.3)

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical infrastructure release that strengthens Pi’s minimalist, customizable coding-agent approach without bloating its core.

–Optional PowerShell execution gives Windows developers native command support while keeping the tool opt-in.
–Staged, verified, atomic updates reduce the risk of corrupting installer-managed installations.
–Searchable `/thinking` controls and explicit Ctrl+S persistence make reasoning configuration more discoverable and predictable.
–xAI Responses API support, encrypted reasoning replay, and configurable thinking-token budgets improve compatibility across modern providers and local inference servers.
–Deferred syntax grammars, on-demand runtimes, and extension cleanup should make Pi feel faster and more reliable in daily CLI use.
