pi-web drops browser UI for Pi coding agent

pi-web is an open-source web-based user interface designed for the terminal-native Pi coding agent. It allows developers to transition from CLI-only interactions to a browser-based workspace, offering session branching, real-time streaming communication, and multi-model switching.

// ANALYSIS

While terminal-native agents like Pi offer lightweight efficiency, they often suffer from poor visual feedback and lack of context management for complex, multi-turn coding sessions. pi-web bridges this gap by adding a highly interactive visual layer without compromising the local, hackable nature of the underlying agent.

* Visual session branching and recovery dramatically improve quality of life compared to linear CLI command histories.

* A built-in file browser and rich diff viewer minimize window switching and make code validation faster and more intuitive.

* Running easily via `npx` preserves the zero-friction, local-first developer experience.
