---

- **added** — Add a `/connect` command that configures a provider and model from a model catalog
- **added** — The `/connect` provider and model pickers now support type-to-search filtering, and long lists are paginated
- **added** — Add `Ctrl-J` as an additional shortcut for inserting new lines in the TUI prompt
- **added** — Migrate user skills from `~/.kimi/skills/` to `~/.kimi-code/skills/` during the first-launch migration
- **changed** — Flatten tool call data by inlining tool names and arguments at the top level, and limit legacy record migration so it only rewrites matching tool call payloads
- **changed** — The `/model` picker is now paginated when many models are configured
- **changed** — Report the macOS product version in OAuth device information instead of the Darwin kernel version
- **changed** — Persist model selections from the terminal UI to the default configuration, and honor the configured default thinking state for new sessions
- **changed** — Resume sessions with a newer wire protocol version instead of failing, with a warning shown in the TUI and records replayed without migration
- **changed** — Let Kimi requests use the remaining context window for completion tokens by default while keeping explicit environment limits as hard caps
- **fixed** — Correct the `X-Msh-Platform` header value to `kimi_code_cli`
- **fixed** — Clarify the prompt-mode error when no model is configured by pointing users to the login flow
- **fixed** — Hide the empty current session from the sessions picker while keeping other empty sessions visible
- **fixed** — Stop mentioning OAuth credentials in the migration UI and prevent OAuth-only installs from triggering the migration screen
- **fixed** — When no models are configured, `/model` and the welcome panel now point users to `/login` for Kimi and `/connect` for other providers
- **fixed** — Surface API-provided error messages during feedback, usage, login, and model setup failures
- **fixed** — Retry compaction responses that do not contain a summary before updating conversation history
- **fixed** — Avoid CPU spikes from large streamed tool arguments and coalesce high-frequency streaming UI updates
- **fixed** — Warn tmux users when extended key settings may prevent modified Enter shortcuts from working
