# Kilo Code 7.4.6: in-chat search, multi-session tabs, sandbox network allowlist

> Pre-release adding in-conversation text search with regex, multiple same-repo sessions as tabs, a configurable allowlist of network destinations for sandboxed tools, and an @-mention file picker that reaches outside the workspace. Also hides gpt-5.5-pro under ChatGPT OAuth because Codex rejects it with HTTP 400.

## What changed


- In-chat search in the VS Code sidebar and editor tabs: match case, whole word, regex, next/previous stepping
- Multiple same-repository sessions can open as tabs from the sidebar and editor-tab chats
- Sandboxed tools can be given specific reachable network destinations while network access stays otherwise restricted
- `@` mention dropdown gains "Browse files...", opening a native picker for files outside the workspace; those files are not auto-attached and are read on demand through the Read tool under existing permissions
- gpt-5.5-pro hidden from the model picker under ChatGPT OAuth login (Codex returns HTTP 400)
- Troubleshooting and migration guidance shown when Google Gemini rejects API credentials
- Rollback/redo controls supported in JetBrains sessions, with clearer redo conditions
- Headless `kilo serve` shuts down when the launching editor client exits uncleanly, avoiding orphaned CLI processes
- Effective permission defaults surfaced; external-directory approvals clarified; sandbox controls shown only once sandboxing is enabled
- Faster VS Code settings saves; consistent expanded diff previews; Agent Manager local sessions start on Windows when drive-letter casing differs
