Enable Kiro spec-review mouse mode and set stream idle timeouts
Kiro 2.19.2 adds mouse navigation in spec review (toggle with m) plus stream recovery: idle watchdog, retries with backoff, and a 60-minute streaming timeout. Set api.streamIdleSoftTimeout, api.streamIdleHardTimeout, and api.timeout so stalled or throttled turns recover instead of hanging.Why this loop
v2.19.2 (Aug 25, 2026) and v2.19.1 (Aug 21, 2026) change two daily loops. Spec review now accepts mouse: scroll the document and click to place the cursor; press m to toggle mouse support. Under the hood, an idle watchdog warns after 60 seconds of stream silence and cancels at 300 seconds; throttling, 5xx errors, and connection drops retry automatically with backoff; streaming responses default to a 60-minute timeout so long turns are not cut off. Dropped or throttled requests should no longer hang or end the turn. Developers who still kill stalled sessions or stay keyboard-only in spec review miss both fixes. Tune recovery with api.streamIdleSoftTimeout, api.streamIdleHardTimeout, and api.timeout rather than restarting the agent.
Proposed actions
- Upgrade Kiro to v2.19.2 so spec-review mouse support and automatic stream recovery (idle watchdog, retries with backoff, 60-minute stream timeout) are available.
- In the Kiro spec review screen, press m to turn mouse support on, then scroll to navigate the document and click to position the cursor.
- Set Kiro api.streamIdleSoftTimeout so the idle watchdog warns after 60 seconds of stream silence, and api.streamIdleHardTimeout so a stalled stream is cancelled at 300 seconds instead of hanging the turn.
- Set Kiro api.timeout to 60 minutes so long streaming responses are not cut off by default.
- On a stalled stream, throttle, 5xx, or dropped connection, leave the Kiro turn running and let automatic retries with backoff recover it instead of ending the turn.
