Release notes

Kilo Code v7.4.21

7.4.21

Minor Changes
  • #12945 e0dfec0 - Improve Agent Manager terminal focus and keyboard navigation. Cmd+/ now focuses a visible embedded terminal before hiding it, Cmd+Shift+T creates a side terminal only while that terminal area has focus, and Cmd+Shift+[ / ] switch terminal tabs. Cmd+Shift+M focuses the Agent Manager prompt instead of opening VS Code Problems. Cmd+W hides the last side terminal instead of stopping its shell.

  • #12943 28ca073 - Improve model search relevance with provider-aware results and personalized usage suggestions.

  • #12931 fa99749 - Let Agent Manager users choose the repository when creating or importing a worktree in multi-project mode.

  • #12995 729f791 Thanks @bagatao-anaconda! - Move the "why was this tool call approved" line to after the tool output instead of between the header and body, add an icon to it, and add a Display setting to hide it.

  • #12991 0e1f11b - Add nested slash command suggestions for /review in VS Code and support staged, unpushed, and quick review modes.

  • #13014 73844ae - Support browsing an instance's model catalog before a session starts.

  • #12859 7db6b96 - Support model, agent, variant, and sandbox slash commands in Agent Manager worktree prompts.

Patch Changes
  • #12940 3092ce0 - Fix the Agent Manager sidebar keyboard shortcut badge so it appears on the right edge of local rows and only while hovered or holding the jump modifier, give worktree titles more room by no longer reserving space for hidden row actions, align project names and section headings with the row icons below them, and show which worktree a session belongs to in the search palette.

  • #12975 56e981b - Align multi-project Agent Manager header actions with the worktree controls.

  • #13034 4ff8f5e - Show underlying models for every Auto model in the model selector when the catalog includes them.

  • #12941 bddce1a - Automatically expose broad reasoning effort options for custom provider models and link saved providers to advanced JSON configuration.

  • #12927 58f8b02 - Remember Agent Manager worktree dialog model, variant, mode, and sandbox selections when reopened.

  • #12924 b521829 - Reduce Agent Manager background Git polling load across large worktree sets.

  • #12865 35801cb - Prevent VS Code sessions and Agent Manager worktrees from starting unused file watchers and defer file indexing until search is used.

  • #12982 454cb93 - Update the active model, mode, and thinking selectors when executing a slash command with configured overrides.

  • #12983 40121d8 - Compress speech-to-text audio input to AAC format across macOS, Linux, and Windows to prevent payload size errors on long recordings.

  • #13046 9816009 - Improve custom provider edit dialog layout, make advanced configuration action prominent, and add bulk toggle buttons for reasoning and image modalities across all models.

  • #12979 0485e36 - Start Agent Manager worktree sessions faster by prefetching base branches, reducing workspace file-watcher load, and overlapping independent multi-session setup.

  • #12985 5ebec95 - Fix the Agent Manager terminal toolbar button to toggle panel visibility directly.

  • #12936 26e113c - Prevent extension-managed GitHub CLI commands from opening transient Windows Terminal windows.

  • #12958 fdc4665 - Reduce noisy memory timeout warnings and retry transient background consolidation failures once.

  • #12993 d3c50e6 - Route Agent Manager tool-launched sessions to the project that owns the tool event directory, keep sandboxed worktree sessions inside their active worktree, and wait for busy managed sessions before prompting them.

  • #12843 b894206 - Fix multi-project Agent Manager keyboard navigation and Cmd/Ctrl shortcut selection when worktrees are grouped in sections.

  • #12850 561d178 - Fix Agent Manager progress indicators when multiple projects are expanded.

  • #12871 5a95577 - Speed up local VS Code snapshot installs and scope Agent Manager session events and Git status to the active project, including edits inside nested repositories.
