What the release notes say
2.16.2 Aug 6, 2026 2.16.1 Aug 4, 2026 Tangent Side-Conversations and Per-Tool Token Breakdown This release introduces tangents: branch into side-conversations that inherit your full conversation history, explore freely, then jump back exactly where you left off. /context also gains a per-tool token breakdown so you can see what's consuming your context window. /tangent side-conversations (v3) Loading image... Need to look something up mid-task without polluting your main thread? /tangent branches into a side-conversation that inherits everything discussed so far — explore freely, then jump back to exactly where you left off. Create named tangents with /tangent <name> , browse your whole conversation tree in a visual picker with /tangent ls , and jump straight back to the main conversation from any depth with /tangent root . Available in V3 mode ( kiro-cli --v3 ).
