  "why_included": "PI-Desktop packages coding agents, reviews, permissions, models, MCP, skills, and subagents into a local-first workspace, but its early-preview interfaces remain unstable.",
  "summary": "PI-Desktop is an **early-preview** desktop workspace with a Rust host, Electron UI, and pi agent sidecar. Its **0.14.x** line supports multiple model providers, reviews, permission-aware tools, MCP, Skills, Subagents, plugins, and session checkpoints.",
  "practical_implication": "Choose **Agent, Plan, or Goal** mode according to the approval boundary: direct iteration, plan approval before execution, or locked outcomes with an agent-chosen path. Review privileged actions and diffs even when delegating background work.",
  "agent_context": "PI-Desktop is an **early-preview** desktop workspace with a Rust host, Electron UI, and pi agent sidecar.

  "connected_context": {
    "meaning": "This combines several emerging coding-agent controls in one desktop surface: selectable approval boundaries, background subagents, checkpoints, reviews, and permission-gated extensions. Relative to simpler planning modes and multi-agent supervisors, its distinctive claim is graduated autonomy within one workspace; early-preview interfaces, trusted plugins, and provider-bound context keep that autonomy operationally provisional.",
