Minor Changes

  • #3990 32000d0 Thanks @Grapedge! - In fullscreen, click a folded block to open or close it.

  • #4004 e17ff67 Thanks @Grapedge! - Add a TUI mode setting to /settings with an experimental fullscreen layout; switching modes takes effect after restarting Kimi Code.

Patch Changes

  • #3964 6451f1e Thanks @7Sageer! - Block file tools from accessing files outside the working directory through symlinks.
