Kilo Code 7.4.21: Agent Manager keyboard/terminal rework and worktree startup speedups
Mostly Agent Manager work: reassigned terminal and navigation shortcuts, repository choice when creating worktrees in multi-project mode, and slash commands inside worktree prompts. Supporting changes cover model search relevance, custom provider configuration, and lower background load from Git polling and file watchers.

- Terminal/navigation keys reassigned:
Cmd+/focuses a visible embedded terminal before hiding it,Cmd+Shift+Tcreates a side terminal only when the terminal area has focus,Cmd+Shift+[/]switch terminal tabs,Cmd+Shift+Mfocuses the Agent Manager prompt (was VS Code Problems),Cmd+Whides the last side terminal instead of stopping its shell - Agent Manager: pick the repository when creating or importing a worktree in multi-project mode; model/agent/variant/sandbox slash commands in worktree prompts; worktree dialog remembers previous selections
/reviewgains nested slash-command suggestions andstaged,unpushed,quickmodes- Model search made provider-aware with usage-based suggestions; instance model catalog browsable before a session starts; Auto models show their underlying models
- Custom providers: broad reasoning-effort options exposed automatically, links to advanced JSON config, bulk toggles for reasoning and image modalities
- "Why was this tool call approved" line moved below tool output, given an icon, and hideable via a Display setting
- Performance: less background Git polling across large worktree sets, no unused file watchers, file indexing deferred until search is used, faster worktree session start via base-branch prefetch and overlapped setup
- Speech-to-text audio compressed to AAC on macOS/Linux/Windows to avoid payload size errors on long recordings
