# Kilo Code 7.4.16: @-mention past chats as context, auto-approval provenance, queue controls

> Typing `@` in the CLI TUI or VS Code extension now surfaces a searchable picker of previous sessions and attaches that transcript as context. Expanding a tool call shows why it was auto-approved and which rule allowed it (agent, project config, global config, or YOLO mode), and queued chat messages can be deleted before they run.

## What changed


### Minor
- `@` mention opens a searchable "Past chats" picker scoped to the current workspace/worktree; selecting a session attaches its transcript as context. Clicking the mention opens that session. CLI TUI and VS Code extension
- Delete queued chat messages in VS Code before they run
- Session queue state emitted so remote clients can display queued messages
- Tool call expansion shows whether it ran automatically or after approval, and which rule allowed it (agent, project config, global config, auto-approve/YOLO)
- Searchable open-tabs switcher in the sidebar tab bar
- `/sessions` history filtered to the current Agent Manager worktree

### Patch
- Enter no longer activates the first result in searchable lists when no row is highlighted
- Plan implementation sessions open immediately; recovered plan choices submit without a second click
- Unexpected provider finish reasons preserved; request and Gateway generation IDs shown when a response ends unexpectedly
- Request ID shown when a model response ends without a finish reason
