CLI entry points now short-circuit to a Kimi Code installer.

What's Changed

• chore: archive kimi-cli and point users to Kimi Code CLI by @RealKai42 in https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/pull/2659
• chore(release): bump kimi-cli to 1.51.0 by @RealKai42 in https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/pull/2660

Introduces a deprecation-aware update flow that prompts users to migrate to Kimi Code with a single command. Also includes a fix to omit empty anthropic-beta header when no beta features are declared.

Kimi CLI no longer sends reasoning effort implicitly, and the completion budget now correctly uses remaining context. Empty-string reasoning_content is preserved as ThinkPart, and telemetry events align with the TS schema.

What's Changed

• fix(kosong): round-trip empty reasoning content by @RealKai42 in https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/pull/2446
• feat(soul): escalate repeated-tool-call reminders and force-stop on dead-end streak by @jackfish212 in…

What's Changed

• fix(tools): include trailing output in error briefs and render brief as plain text by @liruifengv in https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/pull/2389
• docs: rename project to Kimi CLI and link to Kimi Code CLI successor by @RealKai42 in…

• Shell: Support styled text in welcome tips
• ACP: Replay session history on load
• Core: Prevent TTY hang on exit
• Core: Close MCP connections during shutdown

• Shell: /clear is now an alias for /new — both commands start a new session; previously /clear only cleared context without creating a new session
• Shell: Fix misleading "Quota exceeded" prefix shown on every 403 error

• Shell: Add slash command alias resolution — aliases such as /h, ?, and status now resolve to their canonical commands (/help, /usage); the completer and help output display alias matches as /name (alias) for clarity
• Shell: Fix /usage alias registration — the…

• Security: Bump pillow to 12.2.0 to address CVE-2026-25990 (out-of-bounds write when loading PSD images); unblocks installs in environments that gate on the older pinned version
• Shell: Fix missing visual spacing in the shell UI — add blank lines after user input echoes,…

• Shell: Switch the Windows shell backend from PowerShell to Git Bash, so the Shell tool now runs commands through bash.exe (POSIX semantics) instead of powershell.exe. Windows users get the same Unix-style command syntax (&&, ||, |, /dev/null, grep, sed, etc.)…

• Plugin: Support installing plugins directly from a .zip URL — kimi plugin install now accepts HTTP(S) URLs ending in .zip (e.g. GitHub/GitLab archive links like .../archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and downloads + extracts them before resolving plugin.json, in addition…

• Core: Fix --yolo mode unintentionally preventing the model from calling AskUserQuestion — yolo used to inject a system reminder telling the model it was in "non-interactive mode" and must not ask, and the ask-user tool auto-dismissed in yolo. Both were wrong: yolo only…

• Skill: Fix project-scope skills being ignored and user-scope skills silently winning name conflicts — the system prompt now groups discovered skills under ### Project / ### User / ### Extra / ### Built-in headings so the model can tell where each skill came from, and…

• Shell: Fix Rejected by user misleading message when an approval modal times out — after the 300s safety timeout, the tool call now rejects with Rejected: approval timed out, so users returning to their session after stepping away can tell the rejection was a timeout rather…

• Print: Wait for background tasks before exiting — in one-shot --print mode, the process now waits for running background agents to finish and lets the model process their results, instead of exiting and killing them. The wait is capped at `min(max(active_task.timeout_s or…

• Anthropic: Fix Claude Opus 4.7 returning invalid_request_error — Opus 4.7 (which rejects the legacy {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N} thinking config) now correctly uses adaptive thinking, and the client explicitly sets display: "summarized" so thinking content still…

• Shell: Flip show_thinking_stream default to true so fresh installs see the streaming reasoning preview out of the box; set it to false in your config to keep the compact 1.32 indicator
• Web: Prevent stream watchdog from reconnecting during pending approval or question —…

• Core: Fix CLI crash on TaskStop — stopping a stuck background agent no longer prints Unhandled exception in event loop / Exception None and freezes the terminal; the cancelled task is now kept in the manager's live-tasks dict until its runner finishes cleaning up,…

• Shell: Unify managed model display as "Kimi for Code" and drop hardcoded kimi-k2.5 version references from the welcome screen and /login tip
