Kilo Code JetBrains 7.0.12-rc.3: Agent Manager terminals, multi-project, shell-permission fix

Large release candidate spanning the JetBrains, VS Code and CLI surfaces. Headline items are embedded side-panel terminals and a multi-project foundation for Agent Manager, plus a fix that enforces permissions on shell commands the parser cannot scan. Relevant to anyone running Kilo Code agents against multiple repos or relying on command approval.

Added

  • Agent Manager: embedded side-panel terminal destination, multiple side-panel terminals, project and setup scripts run in the selected terminal, diff scope selector, worktree name on hover, jump-shortcut badges
  • VS Code: multi-project Agent Manager, prompt navigator rail in the chat transcript
  • Permission prompt now shows verbatim skill shell commands and the skill name (VS Code and JetBrains)
  • TUI: collapsible Context/Token Usage sidebar sections, /auto-approve slash command, commands execute in skill context
  • Web search availability configurable for all providers; opencode websearch via Exa routed through the Kilo proxy
  • Persian (Farsi) UI language; telemetry now includes host OS properties

Fixed

  • CLI: permissions enforced on shell commands the parser fails to scan
  • CLI: agent loop no longer freezes when a provider stalls after sending headers
  • CLI: session reverts kept atomic; unset config keys removed from every layered config file; startup time reduced by deferring Kilo module loading and telemetry
  • CLI: gpt-5.6 excluded from ChatGPT subscriptions; credentials included in console URLs printed for headless users; honest exit codes for headless runs
  • VS Code: MCP server toggle state persisted, faster embedded terminal startup, past chats listed across the worktree family, eager worktree watchers avoided
  • Windows: snapshot diffs made resilient
