2026-09-21-pi-coding-agent-compaction-docs-now-match-the-package-session-compact-failed-shipped-in-0-84

Compaction docs now match the package: session_compact_failed shipped in 0.84.3. The parent’s docs-ahead-of-package gap is closed. Same release: /model and /thinking no longer persist globally unless you press Ctrl+S (#5263); compaction and branch-summary requests no longer expose tools to the provider; auth.json and models-store.json writes stop clobbering admin-set permissions and ACLs (#7779); session shares now include the current system prompt and active tool definitions.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-08-24.

Operator consequence: Upgrade from 0.84.2 if you wrote handlers against the live compaction page; on 0.84.3+ they fire. If you share sessions, note shares now carry your system prompt and tool definitions; check what your prompt contains before sharing.
