BharatCode v7.8.8-bc.3

BharatCode VS Code extension v7.8.8-bc.3 — artifacts fully renamed to bharatcode, explicit fork attribution everywhere.

Fork notice: BharatCode is a fork of Kilo Code (itself a fork of OpenCode), rebranded and reconfigured for bharatcode.ai. All credit to the upstream projects — MIT licensed, attribution preserved.

Changed since v7.8.8-bc.2

• VSIX filenames: bharatcode-vscode-<platform>.vsix (were kilo-vscode-*)
• Embedded CLI binary: bharatcode / bharatcode.exe (was kilo)
• README + repo description now state the fork origin up front
• Alpine (musl) CLI targets selectable in the build (linux-x64-musl, linux-arm64-musl)

Install — pick your platform:

VSIX	Platform
bharatcode-vscode-win32-x64.vsix	Windows x64
bharatcode-vscode-win32-arm64.vsix	Windows ARM64
bharatcode-vscode-linux-x64.vsix	Linux x64 (glibc)
bharatcode-vscode-linux-arm64.vsix	Linux ARM64 (glibc)
bharatcode-vscode-alpine-x64.vsix	Alpine/musl x64
bharatcode-vscode-alpine-arm64.vsix	Alpine/musl ARM64
bharatcode-vscode-darwin-x64.vsix	macOS Intel
bharatcode-vscode-darwin-arm64.vsix	macOS Apple Silicon

code --install-extension bharatcode-vscode-<platform>.vsix

On first launch the extension asks for your BharatCode API key (create one at bharatcode.ai) and validates it live. Inline autocomplete needs a bring-your-own-key provider (mistral/inception) — BharatCode's models are chat-only; see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Checksums — SHA256SUMS asset.

BharatCode v7.8.8-bc.2

Superseded by v7.8.8-bc.3 — which renames all shipped artifacts to bharatcode (VSIX filenames + embedded binary) and adds explicit fork attribution. This release's assets still carry the old kilo-vscode-* filenames and kilo binaries; install from bc.3 instead.

Install commands from the original notes (old names, kept for the record):

code --install-extension kilo-vscode-<platform>.vsix

BharatCode VS Code Extension v7.8.8-bc.1

BharatCode VS Code extension — a rebrand of the Kilo Code extension (v7.8.8) with BharatCode as the sole AI provider.

Install (VS Code, Linux x64):

1. Download kilo-vscode-linux-x64.vsix
2. code --install-extension kilo-vscode-linux-x64.vsix (or Extensions → ••• → Install from VSIX)
3. Launch VS Code — the extension prompts for your BharatCode API key on first run (validates it live), then the sidebar chat is ready. Default model: qwen-3.8-27b.

What's inside:

• Provider: bharatcode only (base https://bharatcode.ai/api/model/v1, chat completions + responses + model listing)
• Kilo cloud/telemetry/marketplace coupling stripped at the spawn-env root choke (no egress to Kilo hosts)
• Full BharatCode rebrand: manifest, UI strings, 21 locales, icons, README
• First-run API-key onboarding + "BharatCode: Set API Key" command

Proven: shipped binary lists only bharatcode/qwen-3.8-27b + bharatcode/deepseek-v4.1-flash under strip env; live API smoke 200/200/401; provider tests green modulo one network-flaky case (passes isolated); production esbuild gate green.

sha256 for kilo-vscode-linux-x64.vsix is in SHA256SUMS.
Built from bc/main @ a47597c (fork of Kilo-Org/kilocode v7.8.8, MIT).
