Pi + ChatGPT stopped connecting—does fixing it mean giving up some security?

After the previous release improved sign-in protection, Pi + ChatGPT could stop shortly after a conversation began. 0.1.162 restores the connection without giving Pi access to more account information.

The short answer

Pi + ChatGPT connects again, and your sign-in information remains protected in the same way as before.

After the previous privacy improvement, a Pi + ChatGPT conversation could begin and then stop before any work was completed. 0.1.162 fixes that interruption.

The connection now reaches the right conversation

FinchStory now sends the temporary sign-in permission to the conversation that requested it. Connection progress is clearer, and the app allows a more reasonable amount of time for Pi + ChatGPT to finish connecting.

Your account protection stays in place

Pi still receives only the temporary permission needed for the current connection. It does not receive the information that keeps your account signed in over time.

The connection is restored by sending the right temporary permission to the right conversation—not by exposing more of your account.
