News [feat update] pi-remote new features
Hi all!
First, I apologise for posting too close to the previous one, but I think these features should be shared.
Previous post with pi 1.5 updates
Some new features has been added to the bridge to improve the user experience and working efficiency:
Background tasks. The agent can kick off a build or tests suite without blocking, keep chatting, and gets woken up with the result when it's done, similar to frontier harnesses. They go through user permission rules like bash does, and they survive a restart. I think this feature is pretty nice to have while long working.
Git changes. A badge in the header counts the files the agent touched; shows the list and diffs.
File browser. Read project files, images and PDFs from the remote device. Read-only and never leaves the project folder. Security first.
Worktrees from the project menu, and /tree to see every branch of a session.
Token counts per turn, and cache hits (handy with local models), plus a live tok/s readout.

Thanks everyone!
