0.1.0 - 2026-03-12

Initial release — Claude Code-style task tracking and coordination for pi.

Added

• 6 LLM-callable tools — TaskCreate, TaskList, TaskGet, TaskUpdate, TaskOutput, TaskStop — matching Claude Code's exact tool specs, descriptions, and schemas.
• System-reminder injection — periodic <system-reminder> nudges appended to non-task tool results when tasks exist but task tools haven't been used for 4+ turns. Matches Claude Code's host-level reminder mechanism.
• Prompt guidelines — promptGuidelines on TaskCreate injects persistent guidance into the system prompt, nudging the LLM to use task tools for complex work.
• Task state in system prompt — before_agent_start event appends current task state to the system prompt on every agent loop, ensuring task awareness survives context compaction.
• Persistent widget — live task list above editor with ✔ (completed, strikethrough + dim), ◼ (in-progress), ◻ (pending), animated star spinner (✳✽) for active tasks with elapsed time and token counts (e.g., ✳ Running tests… (2m 49s · ↑ 4.1k ↓ 1.2k)).
• Multiple parallel active tasks — widget supports multiple simultaneous spinners.
• /tasks command — interactive menu: view tasks with actions (start, complete, delete), create tasks, clear completed.
• Bidirectional dependency management — addBlocks/addBlockedBy maintain both sides automatically. Edges cleaned up on task deletion.
• Dependency warnings — cycles, self-dependencies, and dangling references produce warnings in TaskUpdate responses. Edges are still stored, matching Claude Code's permissive behavior.
• File-backed shared storage — set PI_TASK_LIST_ID env var for multi-session coordination at ~/.pi/tasks/<id>.json. File locking with stale-lock detection prevents race conditions.
• In-memory session-scoped mode — default when no env var is set, zero disk I/O.
• Background process tracker — output buffering (stdout + stderr), waiter notification, graceful stop with timeout escalation (SIGTERM → 5s → SIGKILL).
• 78 unit tests — task store CRUD, dependencies, warnings, file persistence; widget rendering, icons, spinners, token/duration formatting; process tracker lifecycle.
