Pi version 0.84.1 brings new preflight authentication capabilities via `pi auth check` to verify provider and model credentials before launch. This update adds Qwen Token Plan Individual as a built-in provider, improves fullscreen TUI selection controls, speeds up terminal theme detection, and fixes startup crashes related to Bun configuration preloads as well as runtime state resets during active runs.

–Out-of-the-box support for Qwen Token Plan Individual broadens access to diverse model providers.
–Text selection and theme detection enhancements make fullscreen terminal navigation significantly smoother.
–Important bug fixes prevent unexpected crashes during initialization and safeguard active session state.
