fix(pi): stop installing pi-mcp-adapter in Pi setup - #1578
Conversation
Pi 0.99.0 ships built-in MCP that reads mcp.json, and an installed pi-mcp-adapter replaces that built-in support. Engram on Pi is already native-only, so init no longer declares the adapter in settings.json. An existing adapter entry is left untouched. Drop the optional pi-mcp-adapter peer dependency and update the README and help text.
Pi 0.99.0 ships built-in MCP that reads mcp.json, and an installed pi-mcp-adapter replaces that built-in support. engram setup pi no longer runs pi install npm:pi-mcp-adapter or declares it in settings.json; an existing adapter entry is left untouched. The gentle-engram pin stays at 0.1.16. Update the Pi setup docs and record both Pi fixes in the changelog.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winEnforce the Pi version required by native MCP.
installPiaccepts thepiexecutable without checking its version. It installs onlynpm:gentle-engram@0.1.16. Existingnpm:pi-mcp-adapterentries remain, but fresh settings receive no adapter. Therefore, a fresh setup on a Pi version without built-in MCP can leave Pi without MCP support.If versions before Pi 0.99.0 remain supported, retain the adapter compatibility path. Otherwise, enforce Pi 0.99.0 or later and document that minimum.

Add deterministic tests for Pi settings error paths.
TestInstallPiCommandFailure covers pi install failure. The settings path still lacks tests for invalid JSON, read errors, and write errors in ensurePiPackageSettings. Add deterministic tests for these branches and assert the returned errors.
