7.7.1

Minor Changes

  • #14126 4fb9f38 - Copy a link to any PR review comment from the Agent Manager PR panel.

  • #14144 53a553f - Add a Reasoning Blocks display setting with Expanded, Preview, and Headline modes. Headline shows only the reasoning header and streaming indicator until you open the block, and your open or closed choice is kept while the response streams. Preview keeps a short capped scrolling preview while the agent writes and stays compact after it finishes, and blocks from earlier sessions start collapsed. Expanded keeps the full text open. The setting replaces Auto-Collapse Reasoning; existing auto_collapse_reasoning: true configurations map to Preview.

    Keep the Preview viewport anchored to the newest reasoning text after the block finishes, so later tool calls no longer make it jump back to the top.

    Background subagent transcripts use the same Reasoning Blocks setting instead of always showing the capped preview.

Patch Changes

  • #14127 7bbba88 - Fix "Close Others" in the Agent Manager leaving closed session tabs open in the local tab bar.

  • #14150 94c3e3c - Fix the Agent Manager sidebar going blank when a PR badge changes status

  • #14145 c1195f0 - Stop showing a merged or closed pull request of an old branch on an Agent Manager worktree that only reuses its branch name.

  • #14146 9701f12 - Keep the project row with its New worktree button pinned while scrolling the Agent Manager project list.

7.7.0

Minor Changes

  • #14102 81ecad2 - Mention sessions, worktrees, terminals, and open documents by dragging their tab or card into the prompt.

  • #14051 b30b2cf - Let permission denials include feedback so the agent can adjust before retrying.

    Keep saved approval rules unchanged unless explicitly selected, and show a clear message when an edit has no changes to review.

  • #14025 1ef46bd - Post inline comments to a checked-out GitHub pull request from Changes and Agent Manager diff views. The compact composer saves locally, sends to Kilo, or posts to GitHub with an explicit destination choice. Cmd/Ctrl+Enter saves a comment, and pressing it again in the review view sends all comments to Kilo without publishing to GitHub. The toolbar shows separate send-all-to-Kilo and send-all-to-GitHub actions, and only the Kilo action carries the keyboard shortcut. GitHub posting stops on the first error so unpublished comments are kept.

  • #14105 b06c745 - Disconnect built-in providers without disabling them, and let users change stored API keys directly for providers with standard API-key authentication.

    Keep settings saves available after disabling or enabling a provider.

  • #14134 50fc57d - Enable the Kilo Swarm shared board by default. Turn it off in Agent Behaviour settings or with experimental.shared_agent_board: false.

  • #14050 7a6ab9a - Speed up Agent Manager worktree creation by pre-warming reusable worktrees and claiming a ready one instead of running a full checkout. Control the pre-warming in Agent Manager settings under "Pre-warm worktrees"; it is enabled by default and uses one extra checkout of disk space per open project.

    Prepare snapshots during session creation to reduce first-prompt initialization work. Start no-script sessions after environment files are copied, while preserving setup-script completion before agent startup. Discarded worktrees now remove their checkpoint data instead of leaving it behind.

    Resolve the primary checkout with one git call instead of four and discover agents and skills for a new worktree before the first prompt arrives, so the first response starts sooner.

Patch Changes

  • #14104 3c040da - Keep background subagent task cards collapsed and show their reasoning as a compact preview instead of expanding while the agent runs.

  • #14116 81b9c21 - Reduce GitHub API usage of Agent Manager PR status polling by resolving all worktrees in one request per sync.
