- **added** — Add an experimental fullscreen TUI mode enabled with the KIMI_CODE_TUI_FULL_SCREEN=1 environment variable
- **added** — Add a configurable model pool for spawned subagents behind the secondary-model experiment with the /secondary-model command or [secondary_model] section in config.toml
- **changed** — Render LaTeX math formulas ($…$ / $$…$$) in messages as Unicode formulas
- **changed** — Update WorkspaceTrustInfo.gatedMcpServers to carry structured WorkspaceTrustMcpServerInfo records instead of plain strings
- **fixed** — Fix Ctrl+C being ignored during automatic retries of failed API requests
- **fixed** — Fix sessions failing with a provider 400 error on every follow-up request after a turn is interrupted while the model is still thinking on strict OpenAI-compatible providers
- **fixed** — Fix plain Markdown files in an installed plugin's root directory being misidentified as skills when the plugin relies on the root SKILL.md fallback
- **fixed** — Fix workspace trust prompt to show project MCP launch targets, default to declining trust, and resolve fd and stty binaries to absolute paths so untrusted workspaces cannot plant bare-name executables before confirmation
- **fixed** — Refresh active MCP connections after OAuth credentials are added or reset

###### Minor Changes

- [#2830](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/2830) [`ec84a6f`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/ec84a6f9a3eb35e1118f8a327f7a11b3978a899c) Thanks [@liruifengv](https://github.com/liruifengv)! - Add an experimental fullscreen TUI mode. Set the `KIMI_CODE_TUI_FULL_SCREEN=1` environment variable to enable it.

- [#2700](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/2700) [`c9bfe8b`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/c9bfe8b2c8314ba4ef8806fb3b92ac654c1d1860) Thanks [@7Sageer](https://github.com/7Sageer)! - Add a configurable model pool for spawned subagents behind the `secondary-model` experiment (`KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_SECONDARY_MODEL=1`, or the master flag): with the experiment on, the `/secondary-model` command or the `[secondary_model]` section in config.toml sets a default model or a small named pool that the main agent picks from per spawn. A lone legacy `model` key in the same section keeps working as the fallback default.

- [#2847](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/2847) [`3b0936d`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/3b0936d8e025c5a944759c40593d5f21bfb3e621) Thanks [@sailist](https://github.com/sailist)! - Fix plain Markdown files (such as CHANGELOG.md) in an installed plugin's root directory being misidentified as skills when the plugin relies on the root SKILL.md fallback.

- [#2843](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/2843) [`c212ae9`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/c212ae9715371c0d7939c15e664acbe0d7cf7fc3) Thanks [@sailist](https://github.com/sailist)! - Show project MCP launch targets in the workspace trust prompt, default to declining trust, and resolve fd and stty binaries to absolute paths so untrusted workspaces cannot plant bare-name executables before confirmation.

  `@moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk` contract change: `WorkspaceTrustInfo.gatedMcpServers` now carries structured `WorkspaceTrustMcpServerInfo` records (`name`, `transport`, and `command`/`args`/`cwd` or `url`) instead of plain strings, so SDK consumers rendering a trust prompt can show the full launch target.
