New session now refuses to spawn a Pi runtime that would only die in bootstrap
retrieval when the DWH/vector host is unreachable (e.g. a dropped VPN). Before
`session new`, POST /sessions probes the DWH via `tht db ping`; if it is down it
returns 503 {code:"dwh_unreachable"} with a clear message and creates nothing.
- Gated behind the THT_DWH_PRECHECK flag (default off), enabled only by the local
dev launcher (run-stack.sh) — containers/CI never pay the probe, and existing
tests that don't set it are unaffected.
- ThtRunner.dbPing() runs `tht db ping` with a 10s timeout (run() gains an optional
timeout that SIGKILLs a hung child).
- Frontend: apiFetch throws a typed ApiError (status + parsed payload); the new-
session composer shows the specific alert on `dwh_unreachable` instead of the
generic retry hint, keeping the question for retry.
Verified live on an isolated backend (precheck on + broken DWH host → 503
dwh_unreachable, no session created) and via unit tests (backend 228, frontend 308).

Opening an in-progress session that has a live Pi runtime now reconnects to
its pending gate instead of the empty landing screen that read as "stopped".
Cold/completed sessions keep the read-only documents panel with its explicit
Resume, so a mere click never spawns a runtime. Backend GET /sessions now
reports a per-session `active` flag (live runtime bound) to drive this.
Also:
- "New session" now closes any open session detail panel (left box).
- The model-activity separator can be dragged to a full 50/50 split
(was capped at 576px); central-min still guards narrow viewports.
Test fixes uncovered along the way:
- Node 25 ships an experimental global localStorage that shadows jsdom's and
lacks clear(), failing every jsdom test at setup; install a spec-compliant
in-memory Storage (feature-detected, inert on CI/LTS).
- Fix 4 pre-existing session-mgmt tests that used an ambiguous getByText for a
session shown in both nav and header; target the nav item by test id.

The backend injects a single managed model key (THT_MODEL_API_KEY[_FILE]) as
the selected provider's env var, but that key belongs to one provider — so
selecting a second cloud provider (e.g. DeepSeek while the managed key is zai's)
forced the wrong key onto it and failed auth. This is why the model could not be
switched to DeepSeek.
When the selected provider is present in pi's own auth store
(~/.pi/agent/auth.json), skip injection and let pi resolve that provider's key
itself. Deployments without an auth store (containers) yield an empty set, so the
managed-key injection stays authoritative and fail-fast there. authProviders is
injectable into PiProcessManager for deterministic tests.
Verified live: GLM 5.2, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and aritmolab Qwen3.6 all operate through the ThothII model selector.

The FE derived 'working' purely as activeSession && !pendingWidget, so the
final workflow turn — the only one that ends without a follow-up gate —
left the spinner on forever (observed live: 21592s after F8 approve).
- SessionBridge maps Pi's agent_end -> SSE system_event {event: agent_end}
- PiProcessManager notifies the client (info error + synthetic agent_end)
when the child dies unexpectedly; expected teardowns stay silent
- sessionStore tracks agentActive (on: user entry/text_delta/ui_request,
off: agent_end); AppShell working now requires it; resume sets it
optimistically

ctx.ui.input in `pi --mode rpc` correlates extension_ui_response on its own
top-level RPC id (crypto.randomUUID), not the descriptor id the gate carries
in `title`. SessionBridge replied with the descriptor id, so Pi silently
dropped the response and the model never resumed — every reviewer widget hung
after the human answered.
SessionBridge now stores Pi's top-level m.id (pendingPiId) and replies
extension_ui_response{ id: pendingPiId, value: <uiResponse> }; value still
carries the descriptor id so the gate's internal resp.id === descriptor.id
check still holds.
The fake-pi double had masked the bug by forcing m.id == descriptor.id; it now
mirrors real Pi (distinct randomUUID, correlate on it, drop unknown ids), with
a negative regression test. SKILL.md Phase 1 also now steers multi-answer
disambiguation to reviewer_decide (multiselect).
Tests: backend 67/67, tsc clean, fake-pi contract 2/2.

pi 0.73 rpc mode is headless and runs tools without an approval gate; the
removed --approve flag made pi exit with 'Unknown option: --approve', breaking
every session spawn. Spawn args are now just --mode rpc. +regression test.

Found via live browser test: PUT /settings preflight was rejected because
@fastify/cors default methods omit PUT. GET/POST were unaffected.

workspace/provider/model/thinking now come from getSettings() injected into
sessionRoutes; the request body supplies only question+name. Also teaches
fake_pi_rpc to respond to set_model and set_thinking_level RPC commands so
tests that pass real model settings don't hang.
