Pi v0.79.4 ships automatic theme detection

Pi version 0.79.4 introduces automatic theme detection and SHA256SUMS integrity verification for GitHub release assets. The update also fixes truncated process outputs, signal handlers during interactive shutdowns, custom provider configuration literals, and layout glitches on narrow terminals.

// ANALYSIS

While version 0.79.4 is a minor update, it significantly refines the terminal developer experience and process reliability. Solving terminal glitches and ensuring robust background process management makes Pi a much more dependable harness for complex coding tasks.

–Automatic theme detection removes onboarding friction by aligning with user preferences instantly.
–Ensuring output streams are fully drained prevents missing information when descendants write after their parent process exits.
–Adding SHA256SUMS files ensures users can verify the integrity and security of standalone binary downloads.
–UI and layout adjustments for narrow terminals and CJK wide characters make the TUI readable across diverse setups.
