we added a env var for cursor, we need to invert the logic, only use the hardware cursor if the env var is set

Done. Changed PI_NO_HARDWARE_CURSOR=1 (opt-out) to PI_HARDWARE_CURSOR=1 (opt-in). The hardware cursor is now disabled by default and only enabled when the env var is set.

if (process.env.PI_HARDWARE_CURSOR !== "1") { is this look up in env quick?

again

No, process.env lookups have overhead. Let me cache it:

Done. Cached process.env.PI_HARDWARE_CURSOR === "1" once at class instantiation instead of looking it up on every render.

README.md needs an update in coding agent, and CHANGELOG.md probably as well (likely already has entry for the old way we enabled this)

No existing changelog entry. Let me update both files:

I added it to the wrong section. Let me fix that:

Done. Updated:

README.md: Changed PI_NO_HARDWARE_CURSOR=1 to PI_HARDWARE_CURSOR=1 in IntelliJ section
CHANGELOG.md: Added entry under [Unreleased] → ### Changed

for all commits since the last release, check that we have changelog.md entries in the respective packages. any changelog.md entry in a package != coding-agent that also affects coding-agent should be duplicated in coding-agent. figure out a process to follow, then write a new prompt template called cl.md in .pi/prompts/ so we can repro this process easily in the future before a release

Let me analyze which commits are missing changelog entries:

Now I have a clear picture. Missing entries:

packages/ai:

ba8059a5 - sanitize bedrock tool call ids (#781)

packages/coding-agent:

c45ea27d - display timeout in bash tool UI (#780)
58839959 - session picker hint overflow (#764)
c5cf74e0 - export getShellConfig for extensions (#766)
b11b7d1f - update theme-schema.json (#763)
Duplicate from tui: Kitty CSI-u fix (#779)
Duplicate from ai: bedrock tool call ids (#781)

Let me add these:

I see a typo in the existing entry. Let me fix it:

Done. Summary of changes:

Added missing changelog entries:

Package	Commit	Entry

Cross-package duplications (to coding-agent):

Kitty CSI-u fix from tui (#779)
Bedrock tool call IDs fix from ai (#781)

Fixes:

Changed tui's PI_NO_HARDWARE_CURSOR entry to PI_HARDWARE_CURSOR (Changed section)
Fixed typo: #768 → #778 in PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR entry
Added missing author attribution for #779 (@iamd3vil)

Created prompt template: .pi/prompts/cl.md for future changelog audits before releases.

ok, commit the files you changed, do not touch the other changed files

Committed 6 files: 3 changelogs, README, tui.ts, and the new cl.md prompt template.
