###### Minor Changes

-   [#319](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/319) [`fe7db4a`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/fe7db4a7e361b83194eb1ebb52d27daed53be532) - Append the current todo list as markdown to compaction summaries before writing them to history.

-   [#334](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/334) [`eeefa98`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/eeefa98083e9d037d2ba7c59de9e5eb51b19fdd7) - Add background automatic upgrades, which can be disabled in tui.toml.

-   [#270](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/270) [`ac37d74`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/ac37d7448458fdb73fbe00e35856dcf44a13f734) - Add experimental goal mode for longer tasks that need more than one turn. Turn it on with `KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_GOAL_COMMAND=1` before you start Kimi.

    Use `/goal <objective>` in the TUI when you want Kimi to keep working on one task across turns. For example:

    ```text
    /goal Fix the failing checkout test
    ```

    Kimi shows the goal in the TUI and keeps progress visible while it works. Use `/goal status`, `/goal pause`, `/goal resume`, `/goal cancel`, and `/goal replace <objective>` to manage the goal. This feature is still experimental. Try it and tell us what would make it more useful.
