Kinetick Code 0.5.3

Built from public source commit da9de8c. SHA-256: 1251c62810078c59a184843b920ce23654caff0d4b7be916727c051a5b15b5ec.

Download the tar.gz and its checksum, verify the checksum, then install:

npm install --global ./kinetick-code-0.5.3.tar.gz --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/ --include=optional --ignore-scripts=false --allow-scripts=better-sqlite3
kcode --version

Requires Node.js 22.19+ (22.x), 24.2+ (24.x), 25 or 26 and network access to public npm for runtime dependencies. Native dependencies may require a C/C++ toolchain and Python when no prebuilt binary is available.

The same archive passed npm installation and offline CLI/BYOK tests on Linux and macOS across the supported Node lines. Windows and live-service acceptance were not run. This package shares the official npm CLI's package name and user data. Install future GitHub archives explicitly; the built-in updater follows the npm registry channel.

What is in this release

Session tabs keep working while work continues elsewhere:

• Switching tabs no longer needs the run to be idle; a turn keeps streaming after you switch away from its Session.
• Each open Session keeps its own transcript pane (up to 6 retained), so returning to a tab shows its live tail rather than a rebuilt view.
• A turn that starts in a Session you are not looking at is adopted, so you can come back to it mid-flight.
• Pinned Sessions lead /sessions and the session manager, /pin [on | off] toggles the pin, and a pinned tab carries a * marker on the bar.
• The tab bar has a manual order (Shift+Alt+Left/Right, /tabs move left|right): opening appends, and only an explicit move reorders.

Pins are stored in the runtime's ordered pin list, so they survive restarts and are shared with any other client.

Source carried

• Released tree: f7115a0772eeef01fdd02ba8981d05e09242d81b, the version commit on top of 078840d.
• Upstream revision carried (release/extraction.json sourceRevision): 9b9885e42a3cf1a3df1cfa52a46e4fdb034cfcee.
• Upstream core: 0.5.2. Fork prerelease 2 on that core.

Known limits

• The tab bar's manual order is in memory only: a restart reopens tabs in insertion order. Pins are persisted; the bar order is not yet.
• The pin marker is covered by offline rendering assertions only; it has not been inspected in a real terminal.
• A background pane whose stream is lost is dropped and reloaded from saved messages when you return, so that pane can be rebuilt rather than complete.

Not run

• Live-service checks: no live model provider, desktop app, or paid media path was exercised for this release; this archive is validated by the offline suite, the packaging receipt and the install matrix only.
• Windows validation remains paused upstream-wide; this release is validated on Linux and macOS with Node 22.19.0, 24.2.0, 25 and 26.
