- Fixed Bedrock `AWS_PROFILE` region resolution by honoring profile `region` values ([#1800](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1800)).
- Fixed Gemini 3.1 thinking-level detection for `google` and `google-vertex` providers ([#1785](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1785)).
- Fixed browser bundling compatibility for `@mariozechner/pi-ai` by removing Node-only side effects from default browser import paths ([#1814](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1814)).
=======
- Added `session_directory` extension event that fires before session manager creation, allowing extensions to customize the session directory path based on cwd and other factors. CLI `--session-dir` flag takes precedence over extension-provided paths ([#1729](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1729)).

#### session_directory
Fired by the `pi` CLI during startup session resolution, before the initial session manager is created.
This event is:
- CLI-only. It is not emitted in SDK mode.
- Startup-only. It is not emitted for later interactive `/new` or `/resume` actions.
- Bypassed when `--session-dir` is provided.
- Special-cased to receive no `ctx` argument.
If multiple extensions return `sessionDir`, the last one wins.
```typescript
pi.on("session_directory", async (event) => {
return {
sessionDir: `/tmp/pi-sessions/${encodeURIComponent(event.cwd)}`,
};
});
```
#### session_start
Fired on initial session load.

Every handler receives `ctx: ExtensionContext`:
