Summary

A Pi process that exits, emits malformed RPC data, or reports an extension error before acknowledging a prompt can reject its settle promise before the caller observes it. Observe the command acknowledgement and settle promise concurrently so either failure reaches the caller without an unhandled rejection.

Keep success dependent on both results. Clear the active settle record only when it still belongs to that prompt, preserving a newer prompt's waiter. Request IDs, abort/close handling, process isolation and the existing command timeout are unchanged.

Add subprocess RPC regressions for failure and success orderings, and update the English/Korean Remote Workspace guide and its Structure contract.

Verification

  • HEAD 7ee21b188197b628b86f2e14a9630307ab3565bf preserves the maintainer's dev merge 26d7d61b and incorporates the shared chore(test): align Bun runner with the 1.4.4 security baseline #7627 setup/CI change. Both runtime and test runner use Bun 1.4.4; the six change-owned files remain intact.

  • Official Bun 1.4.4, native Windows, CI=true: bun test --isolate --timeout 60000 tests/clients/remote-workspace-cli-runtimes.test.ts — 8 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed / 22 assertions, including seven subprocess/stdin/stdout ordering cases.

  • These local checks ran on 09fa1532597c7ed2522817a3c393bd9b8ab44c27. Its complete tracked tree and four dependency inputs are identical to the current HEAD (tree 5d54547c58d12c77188e41ac3afcdeab683eb1c7), so the same local evidence is reused without claiming execution on the new commit SHA.

  • Root TypeScript, Structure, generated skill surface, diff, and scoped privacy/file-size checks passed. All validation processes returned exit 0 and EOF, the frozen dependency installation matched, and owned processes/fixtures were removed.

  • Independent source review confirmed preservation of the prompt-lifetime fix and the maintainer merge. The optional real Pi installation test was skipped. The complete native platform matrix and actual Pi distribution compatibility remain unverified. Pi events still have no turn identifier, and acknowledgement without a settle event retains the existing wait behavior.

  • Current-head PR CI completed SUCCESS on 7ee21b188197b628b86f2e14a9630307ab3565bf: 17 successful jobs / 6 conditionally skipped jobs, including aggregate ci. Conditional skips are not native-platform execution evidence.

  • A successful current-head enforce-target result has not been confirmed. The observed cancelled gate jobs report concurrency replacement by a higher-priority pr-gate-comment request; this is not a test failure or a successful quality-gate result. Quality-gate completion and maintainer/security acceptance remain separate from review readiness.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Remote workspace sessions now report Pi process exits and extension failures during turn startup, even if Pi has not acknowledged the turn yet. A prompt completes successfully only after both acceptance and turn settlement succeed.
  • Documentation

    • Updated contributor and runtime setup guidance to use Bun 1.4.4 for the test runner and shipped runtime. Clarified that the two roles are validated independently and that promotion requires a successful cross-platform CI run on the candidate commit.

Walkthrough

The test-runner Bun pin changes from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4, with updated runner-selection guidance and tests. Pi prompt handling now observes acceptance and turn settlement concurrently. The upload-test fixture adds coverage for upstream responses before buffered request bodies finish.

Changes: Bun test-runner version and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set Bun 1.4.4 defaults and CI guidance
package.json, Dockerfile, .github/actions/setup-project-bun/action.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/ci-workflows/*
The test-runner pin changes to 1.4.4. Bun role comments identify the defaults, independent validation, and full cross-platform lane=all promotion requirement.
Document and test runner selection
CONTRIBUTING.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/contributing.md, structure/runtime.md, tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts
The documentation describes runner resolution and validation. Tests cover matching and differing versions, incorrect overrides, and isolate-test execution.

Pi prompt lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Observe prompt response and turn settlement
src/remote-control/workspace-pi-runtime.ts, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/remote-workspace.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/ko/guides/remote-workspace.md, structure/remote-workspace.md
PiRpcProcess.prompt observes the RPC response and turn settlement concurrently, and clears the active turn only when it still matches. The documentation describes failure handling and the prompt contract.
Exercise Pi prompt outcomes in subprocess tests
tests/fixtures/pi-prompt-lifetime.ts, tests/clients/remote-workspace-cli-runtimes.test.ts
A fixture simulates prompt RPC outcomes. Parameterized tests check process exit, stderr, unhandled errors, and prompt results.

Early upload response test fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture early TLS responses during buffered uploads
tests/claude-integration/claude-picker-upload.test.ts
The fixture adds a TLS mode that responds before the request body completes and records request completion and response flushing. The test asserts those observations.

- Around line 144-151: Update the prompt flow around `this.command("prompt",
...)` and `this.activeSettle` so an `extension_error` invalidates and stops the
failed Pi handle before another prompt can use it, or correlate settlements with
their turns to prevent a stale event from resolving a later prompt. Add a
regression test that sends a second prompt before the first response and
verifies each prompt requires its own distinct settlement event.

RPC also adds `extension_error` when an extension handler throws:
    
    `{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;extension_error&quot;,&quot;extensionPath&quot;:&quot;/path/to/extension.ts&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;tool_call&quot;,&quot;error&quot;:&quot;Error message&quot;}`

Extension UI records are a separate RPC subprotocol, not `AgentSessionEvent` values. See RPC Extension UI.

## TypeScript types

Copied

The SDK&#39;s `AgentSessionEvent` contains cumulative streaming snapshots for in-process consumers. JSON and RPC transform only `message_update`:
    
    `type WithoutPartial&lt;T&gt; = T extends { partial: unknown } ? Omit&lt;T, &quot;partial&quot;&gt; : T;
    
    type JsonAssistantMessageEvent&lt;T&gt; = T extends { type: &quot;toolcall_start&quot;; partial: unknown }
      ? WithoutPartial&lt;T&gt; &amp; { id: string; toolName: string }
      : WithoutPartial&lt;T&gt;;
    
    type JsonAgentSessionEvent =
      | Exclude&lt;AgentSessionEvent, { type: &quot;message_update&quot; }&gt;
      | {
          type: &quot;message_update&quot;;
          usage: Usage;
          assistantMessageEvent: JsonAssistantMessageEvent&lt;AssistantMessageEvent&gt;;
        };`

Use the exported `JsonAgentSessionEvent` type from `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`. Its implementation is in `json-event.ts`.

## Example

Print completed messages from a one-shot run:
    
    `pi --mode json &quot;List files&quot; 2&gt;/dev/null | jq -c &#39;select(.type == &quot;message_end&quot;)&#39;`</excerpt>

[&quot;pi&quot;, &quot;--mode&quot;, &quot;rpc&quot;, &quot;--no-session&quot;],

## Errors

A failed command returns one response with `success: false`:
    
    {&quot;id&quot;:&quot;req-3&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;response&quot;,&quot;command&quot;:&quot;set_model&quot;,&quot;success&quot;:false,&quot;error&quot;:&quot;Model not found: invalid/model&quot;}

Malformed JSON produces a parse response without a request ID:
    
    {&quot;type&quot;:&quot;response&quot;,&quot;command&quot;:&quot;parse&quot;,&quot;success&quot;:false,&quot;error&quot;:&quot;Failed to parse command: Unexpected token...&quot;}

A success response only covers command handling. Provider failures and aborts after a prompt is accepted appear in the message and event stream.

Clients must also handle child-process startup failures, unexpected exits, stderr diagnostics, cancellation, and their own deadlines. Do not parse stderr as protocol data.

## Shutdown

Close the child&#39;s stdin to request an orderly shutdown. Pi disposes the active runtime before exiting. Clients should still handle process signals and unexpected exits.

An extension can also request shutdown through its extension context. Pi completes shutdown after the current command or after the active run emits `agent_settled`.

## Events

Events are streamed to stdout as JSON lines during agent operation. Events do not generally include an `id` field; `bash_execution_update` includes the `id` of its originating `bash` command when one was provided.

### Event Types

Event  | Description
--- | ---
`agent_start`  | Agent begins processing
`agent_end`  | One low-level agent run completes (may still be followed by retry, compaction, or queued continuations)
`agent_settled`  | Agent run is fully settled; no automatic retry, compaction retry, or queued continuation remains
`turn_start`  | New turn begins
`turn_end`  | Turn completes (includes assistant message and tool results)
`message_start`  | Message begins
`message_update`  | Streaming update (text/thinking/toolcall deltas)
`message_end`  | Message completes
`bash_execution_update`  | Direct RPC bash command output chunk
`tool_execution_start`  | Tool begins execution
`tool_execution_update`  | Tool execution progress (streaming output)
`tool_execution_end`  | Tool completes
`queue_update`  | Pending steering/follow-up queue changed
`compaction_start`  | Compaction begins
`compaction_end`  | Compaction completes
`auto_retry_start`  | Auto-retry begins (after transient error)
`auto_retry_end`  | Auto-retry completes (success or final failure)
`summarization_retry_scheduled`  | Retry scheduled for a transient compaction or branch-summary summarization error
`summarization_retry_attempt_start`  | Retried summarization request starts
`summarization_retry_finished`  | Summarization retry loop completes
`extension_error`  | Extension threw an error


### agent_start

Emitted when the agent begins processing a prompt.
    
    {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;agent_start&quot;}

### agent_end

Emitted when one low-level agent run completes. Contains all messages generated during this run. If `willRetry` is true, an automatic retry will follow.
    
    {
      &quot;type&quot;: &quot;agent_end&quot;,
      &quot;messages&quot;: [...],
      &quot;willRetry&quot;: false
    }

### agent_settled

Emitted after the full session-level run settles. At this point Pi will not continue automatically through retry, compaction retry, or queued follow-up messages.
    
    {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;agent_settled&quot;}

### turn_start / turn_end

A turn consists of one assistant response plus any resulting tool calls and results.
    
    {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;turn_start&quot;}
    
    {
      &quot;type&quot;: &quot;turn_end&quot;,
      &quot;message&quot;: {...},
      &quot;toolResults&quot;: [...]
    }

### message_start / message_end

Emitted when a message begins and completes. The `message` field contains an `AgentMessage`.
    
    {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;message_start&quot;, &quot;message&quot;: {...}}
    {&quot;type&quot;: &quot;message_end&quot;, &quot;message&quot;: {...}}


### message_update (Streaming)

Emitted during streaming of assistant messages. Contains a delta event without a cumulative message snapshot.
    
    {
      &quot;type&quot;: &quot;message_update&quot;,
      &quot;usage&quot;: {
        &quot;input&quot;: 100,
        &quot;output&quot;: 1,
        &quot;cacheRead&quot;: 0,
        &quot;cacheWrite&quot;: 0,
        &quot;totalTokens&quot;: 101,
        &quot;cost&quot;: {&quot;input&quot;: 0, &quot;output&quot;: 0, &quot;cacheRead&quot;: 0, &quot;cacheWrite&quot;: 0, &quot;total&quot;: 0}
      },
      &quot;assistantMessageEvent&quot;: {
        &quot;type&quot;: &quot;text_delta&quot;,
        &quot;contentIndex&quot;: 0,
        &quot;delta&quot;: &quot;Hello &quot;

Invalidate a failed Pi handle before admitting another prompt.

extension_error clears the active settlement while the prompt command can remain pending. The session keeps the same handle and allows another prompt after the failure. Because agent_settled has no turn identifier, a later settlement from the failed run can resolve the next prompt. Its RPC response can then make Promise.all complete before the next run settles.

Stop and discard the failed RPC child before allowing another prompt, or correlate settlement events with their turns. Add a regression that sends a second prompt before the first response and gives both prompts distinct settlement events.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Review comment at @src/remote-control/workspace-pi-runtime.ts around lines 144 -
151:
Update the prompt flow around `this.command("prompt", ...)` and
`this.activeSettle` so an `extension_error` invalidates and stops the failed Pi
handle before another prompt can use it, or correlate settlements with their
turns to prevent a stale event from resolving a later prompt. Add a regression
test that sends a second prompt before the first response and verifies each
prompt requires its own distinct settlement event.
