Laments: pi complains, you fix

When pi needs a tool that is missing, unavailable or failing, it files a lament and carries on with a workaround. Read them to see what your setup lacks, then fix it.

pi finds ripgrep missing, files a Costly lament and carries on with grep; Fix starts a chat that fixes it in a worktree.

What you get

Three ways to sigh
😒 Annoying, 😠 Costly or 🤬 Blocking. pi files each one with its lament tool, then gets on with a workaround.
See what your setup lacks
The Lamenting board collects every complaint per project, so the tool that keeps letting pi down is hard to miss.
Fix it in a worktree
Click Fix and a new chat fixes the lament in a git worktree, on a branch of its own. Mark it resolved once the fix is in.
On the phone too
Laments show on the iPhone remote with their severity, next to the board and GitHub.
