Changes in kimi-code:
Update to version 0.42.0:
* Add an experimental Updates panel with paginated progress
messages from the main agent and subagents, enabled with
KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1
* Turn the subagent model pool, Remote Control and the minidb
session-index read model with the global search worker always
on; their experimental flags and opt-out variables are gone,
search persistence is now tuned via the [database] section
* Give tower worker and reviewer briefings the full mission
context, follow the subagent timeout for tower agents, and
show each background agent's model in /tasks
* Retrieve file search matches beyond the first 100 results,
accept HEIC, HEIF and BMP images with Kimi-served models,
and warn in kimi -p when project MCP servers are skipped in
an untrusted folder
* Read files with configurable character limits and resumable
long-line reads, decode malformed UTF-16 with a warning, and
preserve image and video filenames in session history
* Rework the dashboard: deletable sessions, reorderable media
rail, collapsed tool calls revealed with Ctrl-O, and less
jank on long conversations and session reloads
Update to version 0.41.0:
* Add experimental tower mode for multi-agent orchestration and
Remote Control for reaching a local web session remotely
* Add the WaitFor tool so the agent can wait for a background
task inside the current turn, and an optional fork parameter
that starts a subagent from a snapshot of the caller's history
* Support two OAuth login methods, kimi.ai and kimi.com, and
activate several skills in one prompt
* Enable the subagent model pool in every launch mode by default
and make turn-level file history unconditional
* Add a dangerous-command guard that always asks before shutdown,
reboot or rm -rf in manual and YOLO permission modes, disabled
with [permission] dangerous_command_guard; auto mode never
blocks
* Remove kimi web --allow-remote-terminals; PTY terminal routes
are served on loopback binds only
* Require Edit and Write to read a file first, and reject a write
when the file changed on disk since that read
* Rework the bundled web dashboard: multi-tab right sidebar,
Open/Done/Workspaces session tabs, a plugin marketplace panel
and mobile bottom sheets
* ... see upstream's release notes for the full list
- Vendor the runtime dependencies upstream stopped inlining in
0.39.0:
* Add ws, qrcode and qrcode's own pngjs and dijkstrajs as
sources, installed into the package's private node_modules
* Unpack the npm tarball directly instead of running npm install,
which would resolve the new dependencies against the registry
and pull in qrcode's CLI-only yargs tree
* Declare the vendored trees with Provides: bundled(...)
- CVE-2026-48779: ws denial of service from a high volume of tiny
WebSocket fragments; the ws inlined in the old bundle predated
the 8.21.0 fix, the vendored ws is 8.21.3 (boo#1268927)
- CVE-2026-45736: ws uninitialized memory disclosure via
websocket.close() with a TypedArray, fixed by the same ws version
(boo#1269951)
- Load the compiled node-pty addon during the build check as well

number.");
