| Segment | Meaning | | --- | --- | | progress 25m | Work time | | agents 42m | Summed subagent runtime; hidden until a subagent reports | | current: … inferred | Model-inferred step; off until you set a model | | ● edit src/index.ts | Running tool | | ✓ bun test | Finished check | | touched … | Files edited or written successfully |

These show activity, not proof the result is correct. Inferred claims that something was "verified" are dropped without discarding other progress labels.

Commands

/progress status                        show inference state
/progress steps                         toggle recent history   (Alt+G)
/progress steps recent                  show the last eight steps
/progress steps all                     show full history       (Alt+Shift+G)
/progress model                         show the inference model

Configuration

// ~/.pi/agent/pi-progress.jsonc
{
  "model": null,           // "provider/model[:effort]" enables inference
  "maxInputChars": 12000,
  "maxTokens": 180,
  "timeoutMs": 15000
}

The inference model gets a bounded, redacted digest. It never sees reasoning, tool output, file contents, diffs, environment data, credentials, or the full transcript.
