Kilo Code Release Notes

7.4.22

Minor Changes

• #11219 8013e5f Thanks @sylwester-liljegren! - Make file references in agent responses clickable by validating inline code spans against the filesystem. Code spans that match real files in the workspace become clickable links that open the file at the referenced line. Non-existent paths stay as plain code. Also adds fallback workspace search and "File not found" warning when clicking dead links.
• #13071 3e3dd3d Thanks @cosi-conda! - Add Agent Manager PR comment actions: resolve/unresolve review threads, jump to comments section, and scroll-to-top for PR diff view.
• #13084 5c97b48 - Remove the built-in experimental Morph WarpGrep codebase search tool and ignore its retired configuration flag.

Patch Changes

• #13063 ca9a99f - Show and select the model's default reasoning variant in chat and Agent Manager.
• #13100 753d560 - Support structured AWS access keys and Google Cloud service-account JSON when connecting Bedrock and Vertex AI in VS Code.
• #12373 3a99f36 Thanks @mvanhorn! - Fix subagent permission errors that referenced phantom deny rules and blocked commands the subagent's own config explicitly allowed. A read-only or delegating agent's readOnlyBash allowlist is no longer projected onto a writable subagent as a bash ceiling, so a delegated subagent can run its own allowed commands (e.g. git status). Edit, notebook, and MCP denials are still inherited as hard ceilings.
• #13088 9f4ab3a - Keep the Changes chip and Git changes visible across tab switches in multi-repository workspaces.

• #13104 9b01d97 - Preserve workspace restoration outcomes when reverting fresh VS Code sessions.

7.4.21

Minor Changes

• #12945 e0dfec0 - Improve Agent Manager terminal focus and keyboard navigation. Cmd+/ now focuses a visible embedded terminal before hiding it, Cmd+Shift+T creates a side terminal only while that terminal area has focus, and Cmd+Shift+[ / ] switch terminal tabs. Cmd+Shift+M focuses the Agent Manager prompt instead of opening VS Code Problems. Cmd+W hides the last side terminal instead of stopping its shell.
• #12943 28ca073 - Improve model search relevance with provider-aware results and personalized usage suggestions.
• #12931 fa99749 - Let Agent Manager users choose the repository when creating or importing a worktree in multi-project mode.
• #12995 729f791 Thanks @bagatao-anaconda! - Move the "why was this tool call approved" line to after the tool output instead of between the header and body, add an icon to it, and add a Display setting to hide it.
• #12991 0e1f11b - Add nested slash command suggestions for /review in VS Code and support staged, unpushed, and quick review modes.
• #13014 73844ae - Support browsing an instance's model catalog before a session starts.
• #12859 7db6b96 - Support model, agent, variant, and sandbox slash commands in Agent Manager worktree prompts.

Patch Changes

• #12940 3092ce0 - Fix the Agent Manager sidebar keyboard shortcut badge so it appears on the right edge of local rows and only while hovered or holding the jump modifier, give worktree titles more room by no longer reserving space for hidden row actions, align project names and section headings with the row icons below them, and show which worktree a session belongs to in the search palette.

• #12975 56e981b - Align multi-project Agent Manager header actions with the worktree controls.

• #13034 4ff8f5e - Show underlying models for every Auto model in the model selector when the catalog includes them.

• #12941 bddce1a - Automatically expose broad reasoning effort options for custom provider models and link saved providers to advanced JSON configuration.

• #12927 58f8b02 - Remember Agent Manager worktree dialog model, variant, mode, and sandbox selections when reopened.

• #12924 b521829 - Reduce Agent Manager background Git polling load across large worktree sets.

• #12865 35801cb - Prevent VS Code sessions and Agent Manager worktrees from starting unused file watchers and defer file indexing until search is used.

• #12982 454cb93 - Update the active model, mode, and thinking selectors when executing a slash command with configured overrides.

• #12983 40121d8 - Compress speech-to-text audio input to AAC format across macOS, Linux, and Windows to prevent payload size errors on long recordings.

• #13046 9816009 - Improve custom provider edit dialog layout, make advanced configuration action prominent, and add bulk toggle buttons for reasoning and image modalities across all models.

• #12979 0485e36 - Start Agent Manager worktree sessions faster by prefetching base branches, reducing workspace file-watcher load, and overlapping independent multi-session setup.

• #12985 5ebec95 - Fix the Agent Manager terminal toolbar button to toggle panel visibility directly.

• #12936 26e113c - Prevent extension-managed GitHub CLI commands from opening transient Windows Terminal windows.

• #12958 fdc4665 - Reduce noisy memory timeout warnings and retry transient background consolidation failures once.

• #12993 d3c50e6 - Route Agent Manager tool-launched sessions to the project that owns the tool event directory, keep sandboxed worktree sessions inside their active worktree, and wait for busy managed sessions before prompting them.

• #12843 b894206 - Fix multi-project Agent Manager keyboard navigation and Cmd/Ctrl shortcut selection when worktrees are grouped in sections.

• #12850 561d178 - Fix Agent Manager progress indicators when multiple projects are expanded.

• #12871 5a95577 - Speed up local VS Code snapshot installs and scope Agent Manager session events and Git status to the active project, including edits inside nested repositories.

• #12894 573a660 Thanks @bagatao-anaconda! - Fix the sidebar navigation bar (New Task, History, Agent Manager, KiloClaw, Marketplace, Profile, Settings) disappearing in Cursor when the Kilo Code view is docked in the Secondary Side Bar. Cursor now renders the navigation inside the webview itself so it stays visible regardless of dock location. VS Code is unaffected — it continues to use its native title bar toolbar, which already worked correctly everywhere.

• #13009 c514c08 - Fix flickering and sticky scrolling when scrolling up in Agent Manager and chat sessions.

• #13040 48c4a4a - Ignore negative pricing entries from model catalogs and handle unpriced models gracefully in UI price formatting.

• #12866 ee1ac30 - Accept terminal input immediately while the Agent Manager shell starts.

• #12981 ead46f4 Thanks @fxnie! - Fix Mermaid Copy PNG/SVG in VS Code webviews so they put images on the clipboard instead of failing or copying SVG markup.

• #12989 e3e2327 - Keep Agent Manager terminals aligned and correctly wrapped when the terminal panel is narrow.

• #12819 220cdd2 - Keep recent sessions and the Show History action inset and usable in narrow VS Code sidebars.

• #12695 a606a91 - Changes from opencode v1.17.9 to v1.17.13 upstream:

  Core Improvements: MCP servers can append their instructions to the model context, and MCP resources are available as tools with template listing.

  Core Improvements: Model variants are generated from models.dev data, including modes exposed as models.

  Core Improvements: Tool definitions pass strict through for Codex parity, and Gemini requests support video and audio media.

  Core Bugfixes: Interrupted assistant steps settle instead of leaving sessions stuck busy.

  Core Bugfixes: MCP OAuth reconnects after authorization even when the server is disabled, refreshes credentials on reauthentication, requests refresh token scope, surfaces completion errors, and binds its callback to the IPv4 loopback.

  Core Bugfixes: MCP tool results prefer content over structured output, and denied resource template tools stay hidden.

  Core Bugfixes: Stale GitHub Copilot Responses item IDs are no longer replayed, and OpenAI reasoning variants are forced where required.

  Core Bugfixes: Adaptive thinking is enabled for Claude Sonnet 5, and expired promos were removed from the zen catalog.

  Core Bugfixes: Preserve released prompt history during database replay and keep native event streams connected for all supported Kilo events.

  Core Bugfixes: Remote skill manifests support optional per-skill versions; changing a version refreshes the cached skill atomically, and skill base directories are emitted as filesystem paths.

  CLI Improvements: Ports increment from the default when busy.

  CLI Improvements: Use --auto to start the TUI in a run-scoped auto-approve mode, and leave the mode mid-session from the command palette.

  TUI Improvements: Redesigned crash screen, model picker sorted by release date, bindable diff viewer and Move Session commands, main-branch diff source, and inline skill load errors.

  TUI Bugfixes: File autocomplete is scoped to the session, multi-day durations format correctly, and root sessions load in the session switcher.

• #12844 245ada5 - Allow Agent Manager project headers to collapse or expand their project body, and persist that state across panel opens and VS Code restarts.

• #12944 1e17055 - Preserve the selected reasoning effort when switching to a model that supports the same or nearest available variant.

• #12845 8fe5329 - Show previous and next navigation hints using each project's own Agent Manager sidebar order.

• #12860 a8edd85 - Keep Agent Manager worktree rows isolated when projects contain identical raw worktree IDs.

• #12883 95da8ee - Move the prompt navigator rail to the panel edge so it is harder to open by accident, and keep it clear of the pane splitter while resizing.

• #12888 c0649f7 - Reduce Agent Manager Git polling overhead by reusing the validated Git executable and bypassing the macOS developer-tool launcher when safe.

• #12925 70daa63 - Use a compatible Kilo wordmark in embedded Agent Manager terminals.

• #12885 817c04b - Prevent Agent Manager overview requests from timing out while refreshing Git statistics across many worktrees.

• #12851 44a908a - Remove the redundant selected-project indicator from Agent Manager.

• #12600 4e36297 - Apply saved sandbox settings to existing sessions and use the latest settings when enabling sandboxing

• #13045 00dc8d0 - Keep model and provider errors visible in VS Code when chat history refreshes.

• #12857 d210a92 - Show only one empty-state panel after removing the last Agent Manager worktree.

• #13008 b234d25 - Surface process exit signals and structured spawn failure details in server startup diagnostics

• #12858 e227378 - Persist the Agent Manager inspector width, share it between the terminal and diff viewer, and keep resizing responsive.

• #12956 6083de8 - Translate the Agent Manager terminal focus shortcut label in all supported locales.

• #12971 e2db064 Thanks @rakshith1928! - Long skill folder paths and URLs shown in the tooltip on the Skills settings page now wrap inside the viewport instead of overflowing on a single line.

• #12852 87b53e4 - Keep multi-project worktree rename inputs focused while selection updates are still settling.

• #12803 9819c1c - Restore Agent Manager sections and worktree drag-and-drop when multiple projects are shown, with ordering and section moves scoped to the owning project.
• #12836 4f7dfe6 - Remove the duplicate border along the Kilo Code sidebar edge.
• #12814 cd7d053 - Start voice input faster on macOS with native AVFoundation capture.

• #12805 8490124 - Keep the prompt controls at a consistent height when the model selector shows the prompt-training indicator.
• #12810 e04f653 - Update model search results instantly and keep the active match visible while typing.
• #12815 3d4294e - Allow Agent Manager sessions to move their worktree between sections or ungroup it through the agent_manager tool.
• #12798 dfc1607 - Bind voice input to Cmd/Ctrl+K in Kilo prompt and review comment fields, with hold-to-talk and release-to-send support.
• #12801 4810766 - Preserve prompt or Agent Manager terminal focus independently for each session when switching sessions.
• #12812 6ae16f9 - Start a fresh shell in the same Agent Manager terminal tab when the user types after the terminal ends.
• #12733 63220e0 Thanks @rakshith1928! - Fix skill folder path and URL rows clipping and pushing the remove (×) button off-screen in narrow Skills settings panels. Long paths and URLs now truncate within their row, and hovering a truncated value shows the full path or URL in a tooltip.

Added

Support sending another JetBrains prompt while a session is still running. Queued prompts now appear in the conversation and can be removed before Kilo starts processing them.

Show verbatim skill commands and the skill name in JetBrains permission prompts so approvals are easier to review.

Add improved session changes and diff review, including branch changes in the session header, richer diff navigation, and full-context file diffs.

Support executing commands from skill context with batch approval.

Fixed

Keep JetBrains permission prompts deterministic, including queued permissions, compacted summaries, escaped skill names, and auto-approve transitions.

Improve JetBrains diff review reliability by restoring toolbar actions, aligning file headers, bounding branch-diff patch loading, and preserving promoted permissions.

Improve large branch diff performance by capping huge inline diff previews, compacting diff tree paths, and allowing horizontal scrolling for long file names.

Reflow existing long chat sessions after they load so transcripts lay out at the correct width without needing to resize the tool window.

Keep the prompt send/stop button synchronized when attachments are added, removed, or cleared while a session is busy.

Keep session reverts atomic and make snapshot diffs more resilient on Windows.

Surface provider stream error details more clearly and keep retry handling consistent for rate limits and response stream failures.

Handle missing nested config unsets and remove unset config keys from layered config files.

Reduce CLI startup time by deferring Kilo module loading and telemetry work.

Changed

• Hide expanded diff folder badges and refresh diff tree layout correctly when folders are toggled.

7.4.18

Minor Changes

• #12681 3ab1122 - Add a scope selector and base branch picker to the Agent Manager diff review. The side panel and full-screen review now let you switch between Branch, Staged, Unstaged, and Session scopes for the selected worktree, and the Branch scope's base branch can be overridden from a picker next to it. Branch stays the default, so existing review behavior is unchanged.
• #12566 46b7e55 - Add an experimental multi-project foundation for Agent Manager behind the Multi-Project Agent Manager toggle in Kilo Settings > Experimental. A persistent project registry catalogs additional Git repositories across restarts while the current workspace repository stays the pinned default project, and all repository-bound services (state, worktrees, setup scripts, stale tracking, polling) are now owned by immutable per-project contexts that can be activated, expanded, and switched through new project protocol messages. Every expanded project runs its own git stats and PR pollers, so all visible project accordions show live data at the same time; switching projects keeps previously visited projects expanded and restores the exact worktree or session that was open there. Sessions created anywhere (sidebar, another window, the CLI) appear in the owning project's list immediately, and open tabs stay private to the project they were opened in. Single-project behavior is unchanged when the experiment is disabled.
• #12709 5c140b1 - Make the Agent Manager diff review follow the sidebar selection instead of a single session. Switching session tabs inside a worktree no longer refetches the Branch, Staged, and Unstaged scopes, the Session scope now swaps to the active session's changes on tab switch, and the Local tab gains the Session scope so sessions running in the workspace can be reviewed on their own. The Session scope shows a notice when snapshots are disabled instead of a blank list, worktrees without an open session now still show their branch diff, and the Apply dialog lists the worktree's changes again.
• #12680 49223b3 - Run Agent Manager project scripts in the terminal selected by the existing toolbar dropdown. Agent Manager panel uses the named side terminal, while VS Code terminal retains the integrated task flow.
• #12424 d6380b2 Thanks @bsflasher! - Add Persian (Farsi) as a UI language, including right-to-left layout. Contributed by Babak Safabahar.
• #12606 286b672 Thanks @bagatao-anaconda! - Show skill shell commands in the permission prompt. When a skill runs embedded shell commands, the approval dialog now lists every command with Allow / Reject.
• #12703 5076b62 - Run Agent Manager worktree setup scripts in the terminal selected by the toolbar dropdown. Agent Manager panel shows live setup output in a named Setup side tab that reveals itself while provisioning and hides again on success unless you engaged with the panel, while VS Code terminal retains the integrated task flow.

Patch Changes

• #12696 a2b22d0 - Apply the Agent Manager base branch picker selection to the active diff immediately. Changing the base branch now refreshes the diff against the new base instead of keeping the previous comparison until the scope or session changed.
• #12720 57a9a60 - Fix Agent Manager embedded terminals not opening in the side panel or as a tab.
• #12691 301c14e - Make Cmd/Ctrl+/ toggle the Agent Manager terminal even when the webview keybinding forwarding drops the key while the prompt input is focused, and stop it from triggering the Agent Manager terminal while the Kilo sidebar is focused.
• #12694 af6bb00 - Match the Agent Manager terminal shortcut fallback to the platform modifier (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere) and consume the extension echo once per keypress so unrelated invocations are no longer swallowed.
• #12722 5678c09 - Fix the Agent Manager detail pane blanking when an unassigned session is selected. Clicking a session that belongs to no worktree now renders the chat and read-only banner again instead of an empty content area, and live terminal tabs stay mounted across the switch.
• #12658 dbcd582 - Keep the Agent Manager terminal cursor visible on the bottom row.
• #12369 44f1373 - Allow users to enable web search for models from all providers through Kilo configuration, VS Code settings, and Kilo Console settings.
• #12624 af4cb42 Thanks @Hardik180704! - Persist MCP server enable and disable changes from VS Code settings across window reloads.
• #12656 f0d2c8f - Navigate long conversations from a compact prompt rail that loads earlier history as you scroll.
• #12692 faf0236 - Fix the @ "Past chats" picker in Agent Manager showing only the current session's directory. It now lists previous sessions across the whole worktree family — the local workspace and every Agent Manager worktree — each labeled with its worktree name, matching the Agent Manager session search. Any listed session can be attached as context, including chats from other worktrees of the same repository.
• #12689 1cd81a9 - Open an embedded terminal automatically when switching to a worktree without one.
• #12693 1e2a7f1 - Make Agent Manager panel terminals behave like session tabs: right-click Close and Close Others, arrow-key tab navigation, overflow scrolling with edge fades, and stable tab widths while closing. The new-terminal button now sits directly next to the last terminal tab instead of the far edge of the panel.
• #12738 84b8b96 - Show a write-aware cache hit rate in the VS Code session usage bar.

Minor Changes

• #12631 3321216 - Show the ⌘1-9 (Ctrl+1-9 on Windows/Linux) shortcut badges on every Agent Manager sidebar card while the modifier key is held, making it easy to see which number jumps to which worktree before pressing it.
• #12598 c6711fc - Let users open Agent Manager terminals in the VS Code terminal or an embedded side panel. The terminal button's dropdown picks the destination; the side panel shares the right-hand inspector with the diff view and keeps running in the background when hidden.
• #12633 23039c0 - Support multiple Agent Manager side-panel terminals per context. The panel header is now a tab strip that reuses the main tab bar's terminal tabs: click to switch, drag to reorder, X to close a single terminal, and + to open another one. Terminal numbers fill gaps left by closed terminals, and tabs pick up the live title from the shell or running program (OSC escape codes), so a dev server or build names its own tab.
• #12632 0d853df - Add a prompt navigator rail to the chat transcript. A thin rail of ticks on the left edge shows one tick per prompt you sent; hovering or focusing it expands a card listing those prompts with a short preview of the answer, and clicking jumps the transcript to that turn. It appears in the sidebar, Kilo editor tabs, the sub-agent viewer, and Agent Manager, and never changes the readable width of the chat.

Patch Changes

• #12629 0a1c140 - Keep each Agent Manager panel's terminal destination consistent. A dropdown pick is now remembered per panel and no longer flips when another window rewrites the shared terminal destination setting, so the terminal shortcut keeps opening the terminal type that panel is actually using. The shortcut also no longer dead-ends on worktrees without an active session, and terminals left over from a reloaded webview are cleaned up instead of leaking.
• #12587 16f8e7e - Keep conversations and workspace files unchanged when a checkpoint cannot be fully restored.
• #12333 290a5af Thanks @IamCoder18! - Include basic-auth credentials in the Local and Network Console URLs printed by kilo console, so users on headless hosts (no DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY, SSH sessions, CI runners) can open the URL in a browser on another machine and reach the Console.
• #12630 a7f972f - Open Agent Manager terminals faster and avoid delayed shell prompts.
• #12560 65c5e9d - Update the visible agent mode when cycling modes in Kilo sidebars and pending session tabs.
• #12561 44f5963 - Fix settings changes sometimes failing to save and apply in VS Code.
• #12540 2da8949 Thanks @Githubguy132010! - Preserve parenthesized tilde expressions as literal text in rendered chat messages.
• #12591 625d2b9 - Show prompt input toggle tooltips instantly on hover instead of after a delay.
• #12460 51d8031 - Changes from opencode v1.17.5 to v1.17.9 upstream:
  Core Bugfixes: Improved MCP server compatibility by declaring Kilo's supported client capabilities.
  Core Bugfixes: Plugin client requests now reuse the active server instead of assuming the default local port.
  Core Bugfixes: ACP shell tool calls now show the command and working directory from the start.
  Core Bugfixes: Plugin-provided shell environment variables now apply to PTY sessions.
  Core Bugfixes: OpenAI-compatible providers now accept MCP tool schemas that previously failed validation. (@jquense)
  Core Bugfixes: Cloudflare AI Gateway now receives the configured API key correctly. (@keefetang)
  Core Bugfixes: MCP tools without declared schema properties now work with providers that expect object properties.
  Core Bugfixes: Long-running MCP tools now keep their timeout alive when they report progress. (@Nomadcxx)
  Core Bugfixes: The MCP OAuth callback server now shuts down once authorization finishes or is cancelled.
  Core Bugfixes: MCP tool failures now surface the server's error text instead of a generic failure.
  Core Bugfixes: MCP OAuth error pages now escape provider error text correctly.
  Core Bugfixes: Honor configured agent step limits by forcing a final text response instead of failing mid-run.
  Core Bugfixes: Queue steering prompts before dismissing pending questions so the previous turn cannot resume first.
  Core Bugfixes: Prevent local server credentials from leaking into spawned PTY processes.
  Core Bugfixes: Fix Devstral model detection when provider IDs use different casing. (@Robin1987China)
  Core Bugfixes: Pass configured custom headers to Copilot model requests.
  Core Improvements: MCP servers can now receive the current workspace as a client root.
  Core Improvements: Session timelines load much faster and avoid flicker or scroll jumps.
  Core Improvements: Add high and max thinking variants for GLM-5.2 across supported providers. (@imranshaiedi-byte)
  Core Improvements: Stop wrapping follow-up user messages in a steering reminder so prompt caching stays effective.
  TUI Bugfixes: MCP debug now uses the SDK's latest protocol version.
  TUI Bugfixes: Only show the background subagent shortcut when the server supports it.
  UI Bugfixes: Render completed Mermaid blocks from diagram source instead of fenced Markdown.
• #11984 26dac19 Thanks @sylwester-liljegren! - Mention @ file references in the chat input placeholder so users know they can add file mentions. Translated across all supported languages.
• #12593 160b066 - Prevent the VS Code backend from eagerly starting native file watchers for every Agent Manager worktree.
• #12123 3075d35 Thanks @mjnaderi! - Keep message and response copy buttons working after switching focus away from VS Code.
• #12583 1310c12 Thanks @noobezlol! - Keep Windows snapshot diffs parseable and preserve valid files when a stored patch is malformed.
• #12410 85d65a3 - Open Kilo chats, settings, and files as tabs in the selected editor pane without creating, locking, or resizing editor panes.
• #12639 8a47d8b - Stop flashing a "Turn interrupted" warning when a follow-up message is queued while the assistant is still working. The running turn now closes with a dedicated "superseded" reason instead of "interrupted" when it hands off to the queued prompt, so the premature-stop warning only appears for real interruptions.
• #12602 5d87ca5 - Remove unused translation keys from the Agent Manager, sidebar webview, shared kilo-i18n, and autocomplete dictionaries across all locales, and add a conservative lint test for unreferenced, unprotected dictionary keys.
• #12463 1f3383c Thanks @IamCoder18! - Show the Ctrl+T variant cycling shortcut in the TUI prompt hint row whenever the active model exposes reasoning variants, as the first hint before the agent and command palette hints
• #12634 4c5c242 - Show the worktree directory name on the Agent Manager worktree hover card
