Summary

Pi applies extension flag values after the extension factory returns, while saved fff-mode entries become available in session_start. Resolve both there, then initialize the finders and register the tools with their final names. SDK sessions that do not bind session_start use the same one-time preparation before their first agent turn.

A /fff-mode change between prefixed and override tools is now saved but remains pending until /reload. Changes between tools-and-ui and tools-only still apply immediately. This keeps the reported mode, active tool names, and prompt guidelines in sync.

The tests now model Pi's flag lifecycle and cover startup precedence, invalid mode fallback, saved-mode restoration, dynamic registration, active-tool preservation, the SDK fallback, and the reload boundary.

Validation

  • bun test packages/pi-fff/test (76 tests)
  • bun run typecheck
  • Biome checks on the changed files
  • Isolated pi --mode rpc checks for CLI override, invalid-mode fallback, and persisted override after reload
  • An unbound createAgentSession() check confirming the tools are active before its first agent turn

Fixes #792.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Restores the selected mode when a session starts.
    • Applies compatible mode changes immediately and persists the selection.
    • Clearly indicates when /reload is required after switching to or from override.
    • Keeps available tools aligned with the restored or selected mode.
    • Reports initialization failures clearly and prevents unsupported access before setup completes.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded /fff-mode guidance to cover mode precedence, session restoration, and reload requirements.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

pi-fff now resolves startup settings and restores session mode before finder initialization and tool registration. Mode-dependent tools are deferred until startup preparation. Mode changes persist entries, and override transitions require /reload.

Changes

Startup mode and tool registration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deferred startup initialization
packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts
Startup configuration, persisted mode restoration, finder factories, and fallback preparation now run after startup values are available.
Deferred tool registration and activation
packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts
Queued tool definitions use the active mode for names, labels, and prompt guidelines before registration. Active tool names are updated after registration.
Mode persistence and reload boundary
packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts, packages/pi-fff/test/extension.test.ts, packages/fff-bun/test/multi-session.test.ts, packages/pi-fff/README.md
Mode changes persist session entries. Transitions into or out of override require /reload. Tests cover restoration, active tools, invalid modes, first-turn setup, and persistence. Documentation records precedence and reload behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 039a8

The startup configuration behavior is updated with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining; the PR is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

lower-precedence value, preserving only supported FffMode values in state.

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: Reviewed and tested. Logic is sound, tests green. One real biome violation on the changed file — CI won't catch it (no biome step in .github/workflows/) but repo ships biome.json and PR body claims biome passed, so flagging.

Tested (branch checked out locally):

  • bun test packages/pi-fff/test -> 76 pass, 0 fail. Matches PR body.
  • bun run typecheck -> only errors are Cannot find module '@ff-labs/fff-node' and the two implicit-any it cascades into (index.ts:230,241, both pre-existing, outside diff). Environmental: native workspace pkg not built locally. No type errors in changed code.
  • Biome with pinned version (bun.lock -> @biomejs/biome@2.5.8): biome check packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts -> 2 errors.
packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts:27:1 assist/source/organizeImports  FIXABLE
  × Sort the imported names.
packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts format
  × Formatter would have printed the following content

biome check --write produces:

-import { Type, type TSchema } from "@sinclair/typebox";
+import { type TSchema, Type } from "@sinclair/typebox";

-    setMode(

-    );
+    setMode(
+      getConfigValue("fff-mode", "PI_FFF_MODE", config.mode, "tools-and-ui", parseMode),

Fork PR, cannot push — apply the diff above (cd packages && bunx biome check --write pi-fff/src/index.ts).

Logic: startup ordering, parseMode fallthrough, saved-mode restore before registration, and the override /reload boundary all check out. Correctness hinges on /reload re-running the extension factory (resets toolsRegistered) — that is the load-bearing assumption; the immediate-vs-deferred split is correct given it.

@gustav-fff make a separate PR with changing biome to oxc formatter and linter project wise and make sure that the they are correctly wired to the CI (only for packages/ folder)

[triage-bot] DIRECTED: Done — #796.

biome -> oxfmt@0.63.0 + oxlint@1.78.0, scoped to packages/, and wired to CI (biome never was — that was the gap behind my earlier comment).

  • packages/.oxfmtrc.json migrated with oxfmt --migrate=biome, so printWidth: 90 / double quotes / trailing commas / semicolons are preserved. ignorePatterns holds the file set to *.ts like biome's includes did, so no README or package.json reflow noise.
  • packages/.oxlintrc.json: correctness only. Wider categories produce ~45 findings across existing code (no-await-in-loop, no-underscore-dangle, no-shadow) — not this PR's job.
  • Script names in packages/package.json unchanged, so make format-ts / make lint-ts / make all need no edit.
  • Both bun.lock and package-lock.json regenerated — external-tests.yml:151 runs cd packages && npm ci, stale lockfile would break it.
  • .github/workflows/oxc.yml on packages/**, -f github --deny-warnings.

CI green on #796:

Check packages with oxfmt and oxlint	pass	12s

Verified failure path too: misformatted temp .ts -> oxfmt --check exit 1; duplicate object key -> oxlint exit 1 with ::error file=... annotation. It is not a no-op job.

Two files reformatted, 13 lines: packages/pi-fff/src/index.ts, packages/fff-node/src/index.ts. Note oxc has no import sorter, so biome's organizeImports assist is dropped, not replaced — the @sinclair/typebox import order nit from my last comment just stops being a violation. If you want that enforced, it needs a separate tool.
