Shell: Collapse long pasted text into [Pasted text #n] placeholders — text pasted via Ctrl-V or bracketed paste that exceeds 300 characters or 3 lines is displayed as a compact placeholder token in the prompt buffer while the full content is sent to the model; the external editor (Ctrl-O) expands placeholders for editing and re-folds them on save
Shell: Cache pasted images as attachment placeholders — images pasted from the clipboard are stored on disk and shown as [image:…] tokens in the prompt, keeping the input buffer readable
Shell: Fix UTF-16 surrogate characters in pasted text causing serialization errors — lone surrogates from Windows clipboard data are now sanitized before storage, preventing UnicodeEncodeError in history writes and JSON serialization
Shell: Redesign slash command completion menu — replace the default completion popup with a full-width custom menu that shows command names and multi-line descriptions, with highlight and scroll support
Shell: Fix cancelled shell commands not properly terminating child processes — when a running command is cancelled, the subprocess is now explicitly killed to prevent orphaned processes
1.21.0 (2026-03-12)
Shell: Add inline running prompt with steer input — agent output is now rendered inside the prompt area while the model is running, and users can type and send follow-up messages (steers) without waiting for the turn to finish; approval requests and question panels are handled inline with keyboard navigation
Core: Change steer injection from synthetic tool calls to regular user messages — steer content is now appended as a standard user message instead of a fake _steer tool-call/tool-result pair, improving compatibility with context serialization and visualization
Wire: Add SteerInput event — a new Wire protocol event emitted when the user sends a follow-up steer message during a running turn
Shell: Echo user input after submission in agent mode — the prompt symbol and entered text are printed back to the terminal for a clearer conversation transcript
Shell: Improve session replay with steer inputs — replay now correctly reconstructs and displays steer messages alongside regular turns, and filters out internal system-reminder messages
Shell: Fix upgrade command in toast notifications — the upgrade command text is now sourced from a single UPGRADE_COMMAND constant for consistency
Core: Persist system prompt in context.jsonl — the system prompt is now written as the first record of the context file and frozen per session, so visualization tools can read the full conversation context and session restores reuse the original prompt instead of regenerating it
Vis: Add session directory shortcuts in kimi vis — open the current session folder directly from the session page, copy the raw session directory path with Copy DIR, and support opening directories on both macOS and Windows
Shell: Improve API key login UX — show a spinner during key verification, display a helpful hint when a 401 error suggests the wrong platform was selected, show a setup summary on success, and default thinking mode to "on"
1.20.0 (2026-03-11)
Web: Add plan mode toggle in web UI — switch control in the input toolbar with a dashed blue border on the composer when plan mode is active, and support setting plan mode via the set_plan_mode Wire protocol method
Core: Persist plan mode state across session restarts — plan_mode is saved to SessionState and restored when a session resumes
Core: Fix StatusUpdate not reflecting plan mode changes triggered by tools — send a corrected StatusUpdate after EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode tool execution so the client sees the up-to-date state
Core: Fix HTTP header values containing trailing whitespace/newlines on certain Linux systems (e.g. kernel 6.8.0-101) causing connection errors — strip whitespace from ASCII header values before sending
Core: Fix OpenAI Responses provider sending implicit reasoning.effort=null which breaks Responses-compatible endpoints that require reasoning — reasoning parameters are now omitted unless explicitly set
Vis: Add session download, import, export and delete — one-click ZIP download from session explorer and detail page, ZIP import into a dedicated ~/.kimi/imported_sessions/ directory with "Imported" filter toggle, kimi export <session_id> CLI command, and delete support for imported sessions with AlertDialog confirmation
Core: Fix context compaction failing when conversation contains media parts (images, audio, video) — switch from blacklist filtering (exclude ThinkPart) to whitelist filtering (only keep TextPart) to prevent unsupported content types from being sent to the compaction API
Web: Fix @ file mention index not refreshing after switching sessions or when workspace files change — reset index on session switch, auto-refresh after 30s staleness, and support path-prefix search beyond the 500-file limit
1.19.0 (2026-03-10)
Core: Add plan mode — the agent can enter a planning phase (EnterPlanMode) where only read-only tools (Glob, Grep, ReadFile) are available, write a structured plan to a file, and present it for user approval (ExitPlanMode) before executing; toggle manually via /plan slash command or Shift-Tab keyboard shortcut

Shell: Show token counts (used/total) alongside context usage percentage in the status bar (e.g., context: 42.0% (4.2k/10.0k))
Shell: Rotate keyboard shortcut tips in the toolbar — tips cycle through available shortcuts on each prompt submission to save horizontal space
MCP: Add loading indicators for MCP server connections — Shell displays a "Connecting to MCP servers..." spinner and Web shows a status message while MCP tools are being loaded
Web: Fix scrollable file list overflow in the toolbar changes panel
Core: Add compaction_trigger_ratio config option (default 0.85) to control when auto-compaction triggers — compaction now fires when context usage reaches the configured ratio or when remaining space falls below reserved_context_size, whichever comes first
Core: Support custom instructions in /compact command (e.g., /compact keep database discussions) to guide what the compaction preserves
Web: Add URL action parameters (?action=create to open create-session dialog, ?action=create-in-dir&workDir=xxx to create a session directly) for external integrations, and support Cmd/Ctrl+Click on new-session buttons to open session creation in a new browser tab
Web: Add todo list display in prompt toolbar — shows task progress with expandable panel when the SetTodoList tool is active

Shell: Add /new slash command to create and switch to a new session without restarting Kimi Code CLI
Wire: Auto-hide AskUserQuestion tool when the client does not support the supports_question capability, preventing the LLM from invoking unsupported interactions

Shell: Allow Space key to submit single-select questions in the question panel
Web: Add tab-style navigation for multi-question dialogs with clickable tab bar, keyboard navigation, and state restoration when revisiting a question
