feat: add Extra High reasoning, account defaults, image editing, and proxy recovery

[kenryu42]

This brings four improvements from Ayagikei's fork into the current account/session implementation, in four commits:

• Expose Extra High reasoning for Grok 4.6 instead of letting Pi clamp it to High.
• Remember an explicitly selected account for new sessions while preserving existing sessions' account selections.
• Edit local PNG, JPEG, or WebP images through /grok-cli-imagine --image (--edit alias) and the image_gen tool's image argument. Validate file signatures and dimensions before upload, and document the source-image upload.
• Retry pre-stream proxy HTTP 401/502/520 failures up to twice, rotating and persisting the conversation ID while keeping the prompt-cache key and account unchanged. Add /grok-cli-conv [status|rotate]. Do not retry after streaming starts, on cancellation, or for unrelated errors; preserve terminal error metadata and account ownership. Disable nested SDK retries to keep the total request budget at three attempts.

Validation: bun run check passes all 317 tests, including regressions for reasoning-level clamping, new versus existing session account selection, image editing and invalid image input, retry limits, cancellation, started responses, and restored conversation IDs. A local HTTP server exercises the real Pi adapter through two failures and a successful response, checking the actual conversation headers and prompt-cache keys.

Live xAI image editing and the effectiveness of conversation rotation against real Grok proxy failures have not been validated with an authenticated service call. Retry recovery is best effort and does not repair expired credentials.

Adapted from Ayagikei/pi-grok-cli commits cd04793, 08b47a5, ffd779e, and 1b87994; commits include co-author credit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added local image editing through /grok-cli-imagine and image_gen, supporting PNG, JPEG, and WebP files, relative paths, separate output, and overwrite behavior.
  • Added the /grok-cli-conv command for viewing or rotating conversation IDs.
  • Enabled Extra High reasoning for Grok 4.6.
  • Improved account activation persistence across sessions.

• Bug Fixes

  • Added automatic conversation-ID rotation and up to two retries for proxy 401, 502, and 520 errors.
  • Added validation for unsupported, invalid, or oversized image files, with a 400 KiB source limit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds local image editing, managed proxy conversation-ID rotation with retries, manual conversation controls, Grok 4.6 extra-high reasoning support, and persistent active-account updates.

Changes

Image editing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Local image editing flow src/imagine/*, tests/imagine/*, README.md, SECURITY.md	The image command and tool accept local PNG, JPEG, and WebP paths. Supported files become data URIs and use /images/edits. Invalid files and files over 400 KiB produce errors. Documentation describes the inputs and data boundary.

Proxy conversation recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Managed conversation IDs and stream retries src/provider/*, tests/provider/register.test.ts, README.md	Sessions use persisted conversation-ID generations. Proxy errors 401, 502, and 520 can trigger up to two retries with rotated IDs. The provider disables SDK retries and exposes /grok-cli-conv status and /grok-cli-conv rotate.

Model and account state

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model capability and account activation persistence src/models/catalog.ts, src/provider/accounts.ts, tests/models/catalog.test.ts, tests/provider/accounts.test.ts	The fallback grok-4.6 model supports xhigh. Account activation persists the active account ID in the vault and remains available to new and existing sessions.

Summary

This PR expands Grok CLI functionality while preserving session-specific state and placing explicit limits around retries and local image ingestion.

• Enables Extra High reasoning for Grok 4.6.
• Persists explicit account selections as defaults for new sessions while retaining restored selections for existing sessions.
• Adds local PNG, JPEG, and WebP image editing with signature, dimensions, and 400 KiB size validation.
• Adds persisted conversation-ID rotation and bounded recovery retries for eligible pre-stream proxy failures.
• The previously reported unbounded source-image memory usage is fixed by checking file size before reading and enforcing a bounded stream read.

from rotation persistence via pi.appendEntry, skip the retry when persistence
fails, and continue to onMessage(message) and the existing terminal-error path
so the original proxy failure is returned.
