---

- **changed** — Align the print-mode run lifecycle across engines so `print_background_mode` and `print_max_turns` take effect for `kimi -p` on the experimental engine, and `kimi -p "/goal ..."` now stays alive until the goal reaches a terminal state instead of exiting after the first turn
- **changed** — Align the subagent timeout across engines to a fixed 2-hour default, overridable with `[subagent] timeout_ms` in config.toml or the KIMI_SUBAGENT_TIMEOUT_MS environment variable
- **added** — Add a builtin `check-kimi-code-docs` skill that answers Kimi Code product questions against the official documentation with source links
- **added** — Add the number of messages dropped during compaction retries to the session wire log's LLM request traces
- **changed** — Increase the default per-step LLM retry budget from 3 to 10 attempts to retry transient provider failures with exponential backoff
- **changed** — Rename the dynamic tool loading model capability from `select_tools` to `dynamically_loaded_tools`
- **changed** — Enforce goal wall-clock budgets while model or tool work is still running
- **fixed** — Fix tool call id collisions across turns for Gemini-protocol models
- **fixed** — Preserve active goal elapsed time across crash recovery
- **fixed** — Correct the guidance text shown when a goal cannot be paused or resumed
- **fixed** — Allow goals to use every configured turn before the turn budget stops further work
- **fixed** — Restore the AgentSwarm member list after a page refresh on the v2 backend
- **fixed** — Fix sessions created by newer builds failing to open in older CLI builds on the same machine
- **fixed** — Fix sub-agent completions being signaled as session turn completions, which fired premature completion notifications
- **fixed** — Fix code block copy buttons in the web UI when served over plain HTTP
- **fixed** — Prevent long streaming responses from stalling in the web UI after a tab is backgrounded

###### Patch Changes

- [#1704](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/1704) [`38a2363`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/38a2363a006d8ed32ff6100ccff2dc7d1a70b2b0) Thanks [@sailist](https://github.com/sailist)! - Align the print-mode run lifecycle across engines: `print_background_mode` and `print_max_turns` now take effect for `kimi -p` on the experimental engine, with the same exit / drain / steer semantics and defaults as the default engine, and `kimi -p "/goal ..."` now stays alive until the goal reaches a terminal state instead of exiting after the first turn.

It triggers automatically on product questions, or run `/check-kimi-code-docs`.

- [#1707](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/1707) [`8490c3e`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/8490c3e36b6a6cc3ba5c0f15d93b87347ce23878) Thanks [@sailist](https://github.com/sailist)! - Add the number of messages dropped during compaction retries to the session wire log's LLM request traces.

- [#1740](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/1740) [`a74ab44`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/a74ab44ac7d5656e2dd9cf93b8e484936b05a0c8) Thanks [@sailist](https://github.com/sailist)! - Increase the default per-step LLM retry budget from 3 to 10 attempts, so transient provider failures (429 / overload) are retried with exponential backoff for a few minutes before the turn fails. Tune with `loop_control.max_retries_per_step` in config.toml.
