Summary
Pi's experimental orchestrator PR adds a local daemon for managing Pi instances over a Unix socket with start, list, stop, and kill controls. The change points toward agent CLIs becoming process-managed runtimes rather than single interactive terminal sessions.
What changed
Pi opened an experimental pi-orchestrator package for local daemon-based instance management.
Why it matters
Long-running and multi-session agent workflows need lifecycle controls that survive beyond one TUI session. A local orchestrator gives extension authors and power users a more reliable control plane for spawning, tracking, and stopping agent work.
