web_fetch now attempts supported AWS WAF proof-of-work challenges before falling back to a documentation index or reporting a blocked page. Challenge requests use the validated network transport, and tokens stay scoped to the current fetch; unsupported challenges can still block access.

The branch prepares pi-web-fetch 0.16.0 and simplifies package user guides, including Bun and usage-limit guidance for pi-opencode-free.

Walkthrough

Web fetch now attempts to resolve supported AWS WAF challenges with an in-process resolver and bounded worker. It stores a validated token and retries the page request once. The pull request also updates package documentation and adds manual testing guidance.

Changes: AWS WAF challenge resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolver contracts and network support
packages/pi-web-fetch/src/challenges/aws-waf.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/src/index.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/src/network/*
Adds resolver types and challenge detection. Extends pinned requests and redirect handling, and adds validated token storage to CookieJar.
Bounded proof-of-work worker
packages/pi-web-fetch/src/challenges/aws-waf-solver.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/src/challenges/aws-waf-worker.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/workers/*, package.json
Adds bounded bandwidth, SHA-256, and scrypt solving in a worker, plus a build script for the worker and solver.
Challenge parsing and resolution
packages/pi-web-fetch/src/challenges/aws-waf-resolver.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/tests/aws-waf-resolver.test.ts
Adds challenge extraction, browser-signal generation, worker execution, and solution submission. Tests cover successful and unsuccessful resolution paths, including aborts.
Acquisition retry and validation
packages/pi-web-fetch/src/acquisition/*, packages/pi-web-fetch/tests/aws-waf.test.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/tests/cookies.test.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/tests/llms-fallback.test.ts, packages/pi-web-fetch/tests/transport.test.ts
Acquisition attempts resolution when enabled, stores a returned token, and retries once. Tests cover challenge detection, token scope, fallback behavior, and disabled solving during probes.
Release and verification guidance
docs/architecture.md, docs/development.md, docs/testing.md, packages/pi-web-fetch/CHANGELOG.md, packages/pi-web-fetch/README.md, packages/pi-web-fetch/package.json
Updates the web-fetch package to version 0.16.0 and documents challenge support, worker packaging, and manual live checks.

Pages behind an AWS WAF challenge that takes a while to solve can end in a generic timeout error instead of the documentation-index fallback or the blocked-page result. Give the resolver its own time budget before merging. The manual live-test command should also expose tool events so its checks can be verified.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 97.30% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 37 functions across 17 files. (10 skipped: 10 unsupported.)

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Allow built-in tools for pi-gate checks.

This command disables the bash, write, and edit tools that pi-gate intercepts. A pi-gate live check cannot exercise its guarded paths. For that check, enable the required built-in tools. Use interactive mode when testing approval dialogs; -p cannot display them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comments at @docs/testing.md:
- Line 19: Update the live-test command in the testing instructions so it
exposes tool events instead of relying on `-p`, which prints only final
assistant text; use `--mode json` and inspect the tool events, or switch to an
interactive session.

Review comments at @packages/pi-web-fetch/src/acquisition/fetch.ts:
- Around line 507-524: Update resolveAwsWafToken to give the resolver a child
signal with an explicit budget shorter than timeoutMs, and pass that child
signal only to resolver.resolve. Return undefined when the child budget expires
while the parent signal remains active; preserve parent-signal cancellation
behavior and keep the parent signal for the retry request.
