Added

  • Resume Claude and Codex sessions via the bundled Kilo Core runtime
  • Show the pinned Kilo Core version and whether the CLI build is downloaded or bundled
  • Developer tooling to pin, unpin, and update the bundled Kilo Core CLI
  • Remote CLI file delivery for attachment flows

Fixed

  • Avoid GitHub checksum API rate limits when verifying downloaded CLI assets
  • Dropped files registered as JetBrains file references so attachments reach Kilo
  • Eager Kilo Core file watchers stopped when running from JetBrains
  • Session diff rendering: full-file editor diffs, multi-hunk diffs, fallback handling, gutter line numbers, session-scoped diff paths
  • Configured subagent routing preserved in Kilo Core
  • Threshold compaction deferred during active tool loops
  • Faster local recall searches
  • Inline skill-shell doc examples no longer trigger permission prompts
  • Persona details omitted from generated session names
  • Startup work skipped for informational commands
  • Clearer invalid tool-argument errors
  • Explicit external markdown sources allowed
  • SQLite lock errors handled more gracefully

Changed
