What's New in v0.16.3

v0.16.3 brings Pi phase configuration, a CLI help message, and two code review fixes that address missing untracked files when the agent runs from a subdirectory and scroll position persisting across file switches. 4 PRs, 3 from external contributors, 2 first-timers.

Pi Phase Configuration

Pi users can now customize Plannotator's phase behavior (model, tools, prompt) through configuration files. Phase settings can be defined in a project-level plannotator.json, in .pi/agent, or globally in ~/.pi/agent. This lets you tailor Plannotator's planning workflow per project or globally without modifying the extension itself.

CLI Help and No-Arg Usage

Running plannotator directly in a terminal with no arguments previously hung waiting for stdin, giving no indication of what it expected. Now it prints a short clarification message and exits. plannotator --help shows a top-level usage message listing available subcommands. The existing hook contract (stdin-fed JSON from Claude Code) is unchanged.

Untracked File Discovery Fix

When an agent's working directory was a subdirectory of the repo (e.g., after cd packages/foo/), git ls-files --others would only find untracked files within that subtree, silently dropping files elsewhere in the repo. Paths in the diff output were also CWD-relative instead of root-relative, causing mismatches with tracked file diffs. The fix resolves the repo root and uses it as the CWD for both git ls-files and git diff --no-index. A regression test verifies the fix from a subdirectory.

Additional Changes

  • Review scroll reset. The code review diff viewport now resets to the top-left when switching files, instead of preserving the scroll position from the previous file (#452, closing #451 reported by @UberMouse)
