gsxdsm 32da0aedac feat: add "Anthropic — via Claude CLI" as a first-class provider
Replaces the stray useClaudeCli settings checkbox + onboarding question
with a proper provider-card UX. The card lives next to OAuth + API-key
cards in onboarding and settings, with Enable/Disable + Test actions.

Backend:
 - Vendors rchern/pi-claude-cli@0.3.1 as packages/pi-claude-cli
   (MIT, attribution in UPSTREAM.md). Lets us bump peer-dep on
   pi-coding-agent in lockstep with Fusion (upstream pinned ^0.52.0
   vs ours ^0.62.0) and fix bugs without waiting on upstream.
 - Adds @fusion/pi-claude-cli as a workspace dep of @runfusion/fusion
   so users don't have to `npm install -g pi-claude-cli` manually.
 - serve/daemon/dashboard conditionally load the extension via
   discoverAndLoadExtensions() when GlobalSettings.useClaudeCli is on;
   no side-effects on user ~/.fusion/agent/settings.json.
 - New GET /api/providers/claude-cli/status: claude --version probe
   + toggle state + cached extension resolution.
 - New POST /api/auth/claude-cli: flips useClaudeCli, refuses if the
   claude binary is missing, fires the existing skill-backfill hook.
 - /api/auth/status now injects a synthetic {id:"claude-cli", type:"cli"}
   provider entry so onboarding + settings see a consistent list.

Frontend:
 - New ClaudeCliProviderCard component shared between ModelOnboardingModal
   and SettingsModal's Authentication section.
 - New AuthProvider.type = "cli" variant.
 - Removed the old "Route AI calls through the Claude CLI" checkbox from
   Global Models settings and the opt-in step from the onboarding wizard.
 - ProviderIcon gets a composite Anthropic-mark-plus-terminal glyph for
   the claude-cli provider id.

Tests:
 - 8 unit tests for extension resolution (@fusion/pi-claude-cli is
   workspace-linked so these run in-tree).
 - 2 unit tests for the binary probe.
 - Existing /auth/status tests filter out the new synthetic entry so
   they keep asserting structural OAuth/API-key behavior in isolation.
 - The vendored package's own 296 tests still pass unchanged.

pi-claude-cli

A pi extension that routes LLM calls through the Claude Code CLI as a subprocess. Use your Claude Pro/Max subscription as the LLM backend — no API key, no separate billing.

How it works

The extension registers as a custom pi provider exposing all Claude models. Each request spawns a claude -p subprocess using the stream-json wire protocol, with --resume on follow-up turns to reuse the CLI's session state instead of replaying full history. Claude proposes tool calls, pi executes them natively. Custom pi tools are exposed to Claude via a schema-only MCP server.

Requirements

  • Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated (claude on PATH)
  • A Claude Pro or Max subscription
  • pi or GSD

Installation

Add to ~/.gsd/agent/settings.json:

{
  "packages": ["npm:pi-claude-cli"]
}

Then select a Claude model via /model in the interactive UI. All Claude models appear under the pi-claude-cli provider.

Features

  • Streams text, thinking, and tool call tokens in real-time
  • Maps tool names and arguments bidirectionally between Claude and pi
  • Exposes custom pi tools to Claude via MCP (schema-only, no execution)
  • Break-early pattern prevents Claude CLI from auto-executing tools
  • Session resume via --resume eliminates history replay on follow-up turns
  • Configurable thinking effort with elevated budgets for Opus models
  • Cross-platform subprocess management (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Inactivity timeout and process registry for cleanup
