Koder CLI 0.4.0-preview.18

Preview.18 repairs the execution-permission flow when a saved record is damaged. A fresh explicit choice can allow one action or rebuild a remembered/full-workspace grant with an exact local backup. Valid UTF-8 BOM records load normally. Unsafe or inaccessible files remain blocked; Koder approvals do not grant Windows administrator rights.

Celebrations now use valid terminal RGB colors. Failed background installations display a retry message while chat stays usable. Existing MCP readiness, MiniMax diagnostic, verified download and safe-update handoff behavior is retained.

Validation: the exact distributed runtime passed the full CLI and MCP host lifecycle gates on hosted Windows, macOS and Linux. Native Windows CMD/PowerShell installation and real-terminal permission recovery passed. Windows stress covered 20 cold compile-cache starts, 10 WeChat update handoffs and four full animation/skip suites at the original deadlines; four installer rejection/preservation cases passed. Test setup now uses the real installer argument transport and one immutable archive with separate mutation fixtures. No functional assertion or timeout was relaxed. Historical failures are retained in ACCEPTANCE-REPORT.json.

The reporting user's physical PC and paid provider accounts were not tested. MiMo Token Plan, Kimi API, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, Alibaba Token Plan, Volcano Coding Plan and Volcano Ark API remain gray and unavailable. No fallback engine is enabled automatically.

Users on older previews can run koder update once. Automatic updates remain optional: koder update auto off|on|status. Configuration, memory and bindings are retained. License text and digest are unchanged. Personal noncommercial use remains available under the included terms; commercial or organizational use requires separate written authorization.
