VS Code

7.8.8

Minor Changes

• #14891 ce9a04b - Pin worktrees in the Agent Manager sidebar with Shift+click or the context menu. Pinned worktrees stay at the top of the list, get the first jump shortcuts, and keep their section for when you unpin them.

• #14885 0abb254 - Open chat web links in-app by default when the experimental Integrated Browser is enabled: sidebar chats use a browser tab and Agent Manager uses its browser panel. Choose "System browser" under "Open links in" to opt out. In-app links show a browser icon, and links no longer open in two browsers.

Patch Changes

• #14890 3453059 - Reduce the height of Agent Manager section headers so more sessions fit in the sidebar.

Minor Changes

• #14797 ecb450b - Make multi-project Agent Manager available by default, with the current workspace project first, and remove the experimental toggle and old single-project view.

  Keep restored tabs, background sessions, and branch defaults with their project, and restore the remaining project after removing the active project.

• #14806 b85a1ab - Show one keyboard shortcut hint in the prompt that fits what you do now: how to add selected code to the chat, return to the prompt, stop a run, jump to a session that needs you, or review changes and the pull request in Agent Manager. Empty Agent Manager sessions list the main shortcuts, the mode picker shows its shortcut on hover, and all shortcut labels follow your custom keybindings. Turn hints off in Display settings.

7.8.2

Minor Changes

• #14634 34ec938 Thanks @brunoagatao! - Add a copy content button to the Documents viewer toolbar, and expand the document tab context menu with Copy Path, Copy Relative Path, Copy File Name, and Open in Editor.

• #14630 de285a6 Thanks @brunoagatao! - Add a manual Fetch Models button to the Custom Provider settings dialog.

• #13589 2d6d0a0 Thanks @sylwester-liljegren! - Suggest files from every folder in a multi-root VS Code workspace when typing @, so folders added through "Add Folder to Workspace..." are mentionable without reaching for the file picker. Files outside the session's own project are still only

Added

• Add Checkpoints settings for snapshots and automatic session cleanup, including manual cleanup controls and the latest cleanup result.
• Install companion skills when adding MCP servers from the marketplace.
• Publish CycloneDX software bills of materials alongside JetBrains release artifacts.
• Support MCP servers that use client ID metadata documents for OAuth registration.

Fixed

• Avoid a crash when reloading or unloading the JetBrains plugin while editor history still references Kilo virtual files.
• Keep model selection isolated to each session, including overlapping agent runs and cleanup.
• Keep sub-agents that belong to an active chat during session cleanup.
• Make background-agent and todo strip headers expand, collapse, and highlight consistently while keeping expanded agent links actionable.
• Show specific revert guidance when snapshots are disabled, a checkpoint is unavailable, or the project is not a Git repository.

Changed

• Reclaim database space after session cleanup and allow cleanup to be stopped.
• Speed up switching between worktree session editor tabs with long transcripts and reduce unnecessary Agent Manager list repainting.

VS Code

7.8.1

Patch Changes

• #14513 03b5606 - Publish CycloneDX software bills of materials alongside every release artifact. Each CLI archive, npm package, container image, VS Code extension, and JetBrains plugin now ships a machine-readable inventory of its components, bound to the artifact's SHA-256 and signed as a GitHub attestation.

7.8.0

Minor Changes

• #13804 9f739b0 - Support public HTTPS pages and public CDN resources in localhost previews with a high-resolution streamed Agent Manager browser. Explain missing browser installations and provide download, retry, and settings actions. Keep clipboard actions ordered, honor page clipboard handlers, and close stalled browser sessions without waiting on renderer input. Preserve native cross-origin request checks while blocking unowned browser pages.

• #14540 277103f Thanks @vkeerthivikram! - Add a stop button to session cleanup: a running cleanup

VS Code

Minor Changes

• #14510 c06228d - Install MCP servers with companion skills from the marketplace, preview the included skills, and remove owned skills with the server.

• #14490 bfa384d - Animate tool calls in chat more smoothly. New tool rows rise into place, their details reveal as input arrives, the icon shows when a tool is working and when it finishes, and the transcript glides instead of jumping when output or results appear. To-dos tick off as they finish, and write, edit, and patch rows show the file path, command, and a live change count while the model is still writing them. History and session switches stay still. The reasoning headline no longer jumps between a long and a short title while it streams.

Added

• Fold and unfold large pasted text blocks directly from the prompt input and transcript.

• Add a Marketplace page to JetBrains settings for browsing, installing, and removing marketplace agents, MCP servers, and skills without leaving the IDE.

• Install Marketplace plugins from npm packages or from a git repository (for example git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir).

• Add Kilo Swarm support to JetBrains, including an Agent Behavior toggle, readable board tool cards, and a board viewer for session collaboration.

• Add a cleanup flow for leftover Agent Manager worktree folders, with size reporting, git-checkout warnings, and safe removal from JetBrains.

• Add unique avatars for subagents and a background agents strip in the session header, with a collapsed preview so active work stays visible without expanding the panel.

• Add copy path and reveal actions when nested worktree deletion is blocked.

• Add CLI support for background process monitoring, session cron scheduling, pull request linking, and experimental self-context tools.

Fixed

• Pause the working timer while waiting on a permission prompt or a question.

Added

• Install Marketplace plugins from a git repository, using a git source such as git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir so a plugin can be distributed without publishing to npm.

• Install plugins from the Kilo Marketplace via npm packages, alongside agents, skills, and MCP servers.

Fixed

• Fix git-hosted Marketplace plugins so ~/ repository paths resolve, a failed clone leaves no staging directory, POSIX paths with a backslash are preserved, and uninstalling a plugin deletes its cloned cache when no scope still uses it. The plugin install dialog no longer describes every plugin as an npm plugin.
• Deliver plan completion questions to directory-scoped clients such as JetBrains without requiring a reconnect.
• Explain that file checkpoints require Git when a revert cannot restore files, showing "File checkpoints require a Git repository" instead of the generic "No file checkpoint was available" notice.
• Keep Agent Manager attention badges in sync with resolved prompts, surface sandbox escalation permissions, and center status glyphs.
• Keep JetBrains worktree session tabs responsive by deferring and batching transcript updates accumulated while a tab is hidden.
