Release notes:

Minor Changes

  • #4159 `0a3a2fb` Thanks @RealKai42! - Add an opt-in NotifyUser progress update feature (off by default): new sessions can show the agent's mid-turn progress with an optional one-line title, enabled in the TUI /experiments or the web/Desktop settings' Lab section; set [experimental] notify_user = true or KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1 to turn it on.
  • #4145 `242ac23` Thanks @wbxl2000! - Add kimi app [path] to open a new desktop chat in the current or specified directory.
  • #4061 `20a2cea` Thanks @chengluyu! - Cap the agent's in-turn wait for background tasks at 90 seconds (longer timeouts are no longer accepted), discourage repeated waits, and let a new message end the wait immediately.
  • #3998 `09af3b4` Thanks @tpoisonooo! - Tower mode: a message sent while the agent is running aborts the in-progress turn and runs as its own turn.
  • #4031 `33e368a` Thanks @Grapedge! - Add sticky user message summaries in fullscreen mode; click a summary to jump to the original message.
  • #4074 `c9f01f0` Thanks @tpoisonooo! - Tower mode: deterministic orchestration with TowerRebase and LLM-free status, goal/tower mutual exclusion, and workspace protection.
  • #4059 `1f6f0b1` Thanks @7Sageer! - Add the KIMI_CODE_TRUST_WORKSPACE environment variable to mark the workspace as trusted.
  • #4165 `afd95f6` Thanks @Grapedge! - Replace user skill cards with highlighted prompts and support Ctrl-S for skill prompts.

Patch Changes

  • #4081 `06ebfc8` Thanks @sailist! - Fix shifted turns and lost replies when a UserPromptSubmit hook injects text; hook JSON output without a "message" field is no longer added to the conversation.
  • #4152 `f0bc988` Thanks @7Sageer! - Forked subagents now inherit the parent's available agent types, including custom agents.
  • #4081 `06ebfc8` Thanks @sailist! - Fix messages rendering out of place in sessions with a UserPromptSubmit hook.
  • #4153 `7091138` Thanks @RealKai42! - Let the agent write one- or two-sentence progress notes between tool calls instead of bare status lines; in the experimental Updates panel (KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1), stop asking the agent to repost its mid-turn text as an update and remind it to post updates less often.
  • #4054 `4fbe065` Thanks @RealKai42! - Stop prompting the agent to send NotifyUser updates when a session is opened in a host that does not display them.
  • #4091 `21406fb` Thanks @sailist! - Omit max_tokens for models without an explicit output limit, fixing repeated 400 errors on strict serving stacks (e.g. bare vLLM) when the model's max output size is unknown.
