| Pi extension | Captures prompts/session events, injects the Memory Protocol, and exposes compact Pi-native `mem_*` tools over the Engram HTTP server. |
| MCP tools | Keeps Engram's MCP surface available through `pi-mcp-adapter` for clients and flows that use MCP directly. |

Pi-native `mem_session_end` accepts only the current Pi host session ID; a different, missing, or empty ID is refused before an end request. If a resumed conversation has a distinct persisted session ID, the matching host request ends that effective ID through the same coordination as session shutdown. A raw host-ID end requires locally confirmed registration; an uncertain registration cannot authorize it. A pending resumed ID whose end acknowledgement was lost can be reconciled without another end request only when Engram confirms that exact ID is already ended under the resolved local project. To end an independent/manual session, use a separate direct client rather than supplying its ID to the Pi-native tool.

Move project-ownership policy out of the Pi adapter.

This branch decides whether a persisted session may be ended from local project state. Keep Pi-specific host-ID parsing in the adapter. Put the ownership and effective-session end rule behind a core Go API so the adapter calls the core operation and returns its result. As per path instructions, “Adapters stay thin: parse input, call the core Go API/tool, return. No business logic, no external runtime deps.”

Move the persisted-session ownership check and effective-session end decision
out of the Pi adapter branch using registeredSessionProjects,
sessionRegistrationProjects, and persistedPending. Keep Pi-specific host-ID
parsing in the adapter, then call a core Go API that applies the ownership and
end rules and return its result.
