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.
