>gh issue view 1070 --json title,body,comments,labels,state{"body":"**Summary**\nWe need to import PI RPC types in downstream TypeScript, but the RPC types live at a non-exported subpath (`dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.js`). This fails under modern TS module resolution because the subpath isn’t in `exports`.\n\n**Environment**\n- package: `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent@0.50.1`\n- TypeScript: 5.x\n- moduleResolution: `bundler` (also affects `node16`/`nodenext`)\n- ESM project\n\n**Repro**\n```ts\n// Type-only import in a consumer project\nimport type { RpcCommand } from \"@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.js\";\n```\n\n**Actual**\nTypeScript error:\n```\nTS2307: Cannot find module '@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.js' or its corresponding type declarations.\n```\n\n**Expected**\nRPC types should be importable from a public, exported path.\n\n**Why it matters**\nDownstream consumers (agent-runner/orchestrators, SDK wrappers, etc.) need `RpcCommand/RpcResponse` to send PI-native RPC and validate payloads. Today we have to add local TS path hacks or copy types.\n\n**Root cause (moduleResolution + exports)**\nIn TS `moduleResolution: bundler` / `nodenext`, package `exports` is enforced. When `exports` is present, deep subpaths are blocked unless explicitly listed. Since the RPC types are only in `dist/...` and not exported, TS can’t resolve them.\n\n**Proposed fix (simple)**\nExpose the RPC types subpath in `package.json` `exports` (or re-export from `dist/index`).\n\nExample:\n```json\n\"exports\": {\n \".\": {\n \"types\": \"./dist/index.d.ts\",\n \"import\": \"./dist/index.js\"\n },\n \"./rpc-types\": {\n \"types\": \"./dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.d.ts\",\n \"import\": \"./dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.js\"\n }\n}\n```\n\nThen consumers can do:\n```ts\nimport type { RpcCommand, RpcResponse } from \"@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/rpc-types\";\n```\n\nAlternative (also OK):\n- Re-export `RpcCommand/RpcResponse/RpcSessionState` from `dist/index.d.ts` so they’re available via the main entrypoint.\n","comments":[],"labels":[],"state":"OPEN","title":"Export PI RPC types via package exports (TS can’t resolve subpath)"}Locating coding-agent package
I'm identifying the package folder for the coding agent, likely under packages/coding-agent, to read its package.json and relevant files for further inspection.

I'm loading the full package.json in packages/coding-agent to understand its contents before making any modifications.
Locating RPC types path
I'm searching the src directory to find files related to RPC types to understand and fix the path issue.

I'm prioritizing reading the complete contents of key source files, including rpc-types.ts and index.ts, to understand their roles before considering any dist files.
Requesting full modes index file
Checking package exports and typings
I'm verifying how the package exports are structured, noting that only "." and "./hooks" are declared in package.json, which might restrict deep imports in TypeScript. I'll inspect the main source index file to confirm how RPC types are exported and whether dist/index.d.ts provides needed type accessibility.
>touch "/tmp/this is a test/foo.md"(no output)Analyzing type exports and package subpath issue
I found that RPC types are re-exported from the package root via modes index, but the error occurs because the specific subpath for type imports isn't declared in package.json exports. The fix involves adding that subpath export or directing users to import types from the root exports instead.
Completing export analysis and fix proposal
I reviewed all relevant source and config files, confirming the root cause is that the package.json exports block deep subpath imports needed for RPC types. The fix is to add explicit subpath exports for those types and update docs to encourage using root exports or the new subpaths; no code changes are needed.
Issue 1070: Export PI RPC types via package exports
Type: Bug (packaging and module resolution)
What I read
Actual root cause
Proposed fix
Example export entry
"./rpc-types": { "types": "./dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.d.ts", "import": "./dist/modes/rpc/rpc-types.js"}Then consumers can do:
import type { RpcCommand, RpcResponse, RpcSessionState } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent/rpc-types";Affected files and changes
Notes
if i do @"this is a test/fo" + TAB nothing completes anymore
Requesting issue details
The user reported a new issue without a concrete task, so I'll ask for where it occurs to clarify before acting.
Which module should I look at? Also please clarify where you see the "@\"this is a test/fo\" + TAB" completion failure. Is this in pi interactive mode, in the editor widget, or in a specific extension? Include steps to reproduce and expected behavior.
are we not exporting that shit from the main index? that's what they should use
Explaining export limitation and suggesting root import
They are exported from the main index, so deep importing is not possible due to exports. Suggest using the root import instead as the explicit path cannot be exposed.
Yes, RpcCommand/RpcResponse/RpcSessionState are already exported from the main index. They can import from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent". The issue is about consumers trying to deep import from dist, which is blocked by exports. If you want to support a dedicated subpath, add it to exports. Otherwise tell them to use the root export.
any reason to do deep imports?
Not really. The main index already re-exports the RPC types, and that is the supported public API. Deep imports into dist are brittle and break with exports. The only reason to do it is if the types were not re-exported, but they are.
say that on the issue in my tone close it
Commenting and closing issue bluntly
Composed a blunt, informal comment explaining that types are already exported from the main index, deep imports are unsupported due to the exports map, advising to import from the package root, then proceeded to close the issue using GitHub issue comment and close commands.
>gh issue comment 1070 --body "RPC types are already exported from the main entrypoint. Use `import type { RpcCommand, RpcResponse, RpcSessionState } from \"@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent\";`.

https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1070#issuecomment-3820935118Verifying command output despite import error
The command shows an import-related error (likely ImageMagick) but still produces a comment with a link; I'll verify by viewing the issue to confirm success before closing.

what in the fuck
Clarifying image handling
The image path likely refers to an error from an earlier command; I need to use a read tool to view the actual image and verify its contents.
Diagnosing comment failure due to shell command
The issue was caused by unescaped backticks in the comment body triggering the ImageMagick import command in the shell, which replaced the comment content with an error message output. Next, I'll fix this by posting a clarifying follow-up comment with properly escaped backticks to avoid command substitution.
Deleting incorrect comment and preparing correct follow-up
I'll delete the malformed comment using its ID via the GitHub API, then post a corrected follow-up comment with proper escaping and a brief explanation.
>gh api -X DELETE repos/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/comments/3820935118(no output)>gh issue comment 1070 --body 'RPC types are already exported from the main entrypoint.

Closing.'https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1070#issuecomment-3820937233That was my shell expanding the backticks in the comment body, which ran the ImageMagick import binary and pasted its output into the comment. I deleted the bad comment and posted the correct one.
eplain what happened there?
Clarifying backtick evaluation
Backticks in the comment body were evaluated by the shell since it was unquoted, causing the first token import to execute as an ImageMagick command. I'll explain this clearly without using em dashes.
The comment body was passed to the shell with backticks. In bash, backticks are command substitution, so it tried to execute import type { RpcCommand, RpcResponse, RpcSessionState } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";. The first token import ran the ImageMagick binary and its output got pasted into the comment. I removed that comment and reposted without triggering command substitution.
