What the release notes say

September 11, 2026 Session Search Scope, V2 Harness Flag, and Unified Settings Keyboard 2.21.4 Choose whether session search covers agent responses, run a single session on the V2 harness, and move through every settings menu with the same keys. This version lets you choose what session search covers, adds a flag that selects the V2 agent harness for a single run, and gives every settings menu the same keyboard behavior. Choose what session search covers In V3, /sessions search indexes session titles, your prompts, and agent responses, so you can find a session by what Kiro answered rather than only by what you asked. Open /settings and choose Session search to switch between Prompts only and Prompts and agent responses . Tool output is not indexed in either mode. If your local index currently covers prompts only, /sessions asks once before rebuilding it.

It works on both kiro-cli and kiro-cli chat , and it takes precedence over a saved chat.agentEngine value without overwriting it, so your default stays as you set it.
