Kimi Code 0.28.0

Minor Changes

• #1826 a41a09c Thanks @sailist! - Replace the kimi server command tree with kimi web: the server runs in the foreground (the background daemon and OS-service lifecycle commands are removed), and multiple servers can now share one home directory, each taking the next free port. Manage instances with kimi web kill [server-id|all], kimi web ps, and kimi web rotate-token; any kimi server … invocation prints a deprecation notice and exits 1.

• #1933 11c1683 Thanks @liruifengv! - Thinking effort persists only levels below the model's top tier (max).

Patch Changes

• #1867 3086e47 Thanks @RealKai42! - Rename the stale "afk" reference to "auto" in the built-in MCP config skill guidance.

• #1867 3086e47 Thanks @RealKai42! - Correct the YOLO and Auto permission mode descriptions in CLI --help output and in the ACP session mode selector shown by IDE clients.

• #1867 3086e47 Thanks @RealKai42! - web: Correct the YOLO and Auto permission mode descriptions in the slash command list and the mobile permission sheet.

• #1867 3086e47 Thanks @RealKai42! - Fix the YOLO and Auto permission mode descriptions to match their actual behavior: YOLO auto-approves tool actions but the agent may still ask questions, while Auto is fully autonomous and never asks.

• #1867 3086e47 Thanks @RealKai42! - Correct the YOLO mode notice shown when replaying a session: tool actions are auto-approved, but the agent may still ask questions.

• #1843 a3e773f Thanks @7Sageer! - Fix the web backend ignoring symbolic links when loading AGENTS.md files and reading files.

• #1940 d71bf9e Thanks @wbxl2000! - web: Add a note in the model switcher that switching models or thinking effort invalidates the existing prompt cache.
