For users who do not have the pi coding agent installed, we want to fall back to using a bundled version of pi.
Do some deep planning on the best way to do this. Some considerations:
- do we bundle the binary itself in a fixed version?
- do we update which pi we use, how often? what compatibility are we pinning to in general anyway?
- am realizing we've mostly been developing and testing on my developer machine, which means it's just whatever pi i'm using, which is latest. using the bundled version may actually be a more reliable way to test. is this true?
- do we really need to bundle the binary/code of pi, or can we maybe on start detect if it's there and download if so? would that be slow?
Start with these considerations, think of others.
The simple goal is that a user can install PiNative without having to worry at all about pi being installed or not, it should be resilient and let them start working right away (model selection aside).
