nicobailon/pi-subagents v0.17.1 on GitHub

Foreground subagent runs now make deeper live detail easier to discover. Running cards show an explicit Ctrl+O hint, lightweight live-state signals like recent activity, current-tool durations, and artifact output paths when available. Common array-heavy tool previews such as web_search.queries and fetch_content.urls are now summarized more clearly instead of collapsing into opaque fallback text.

Forked delegated runs now use stronger prompt-side guidance for pi-intercom coordination instead of runtime policing. The default fork preamble and intercom bridge instructions now explicitly treat inherited fork history as reference-only context, tell children not to continue the parent conversation in normal assistant text, and steer upstream questions or handoffs through intercom when needed.
Documented an opt-in custom agent pattern for forked chat-back workflows so users can make that coordination contract explicit without changing builtin agents.
Slash-run status text and /subagents-status summary output now use the same more explicit observability language, including clearer live-detail hints and surfaced output/session paths in the async status overlay.
Builtin agent defaults now prefer openai-codex models for planner, scout, researcher, context-builder, and worker.

Removed the short-lived foreground intercom enforcement/retry layer from delegated fork runs. Coordination behavior is now shaped by prompt and agent design only, avoiding hidden retries, heuristic output inspection, and failure paths based on guessed intent.
