ZacharyZhang-NY 86e3724310 F8: distribution and GitHub-Releases self-update
- .github/workflows/release.yml: on tag v* build all 5 targets (macOS
  arm64/x86_64, Linux arm64/x86_64 incl. free arm runners, Windows
  x86_64) with the release-dist profile, archive kigi-<version>-<triple>
  with LICENSE/NOTICE/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES, generate SHA256SUMS, publish
  the release (prerelease for tags containing '-'), with a tag↔workspace
  version guard.
- install.sh / install.ps1 (repo root): platform detection, latest or
  --version download from GitHub Releases, SHA-256 verification against
  SHA256SUMS, install into the kigi home's downloads/ + bin/kigi symlink
  (the same layout the self-updater manages), smoke test, PATH guidance.
- kigi-update rewritten onto the GitHub Releases API (documented wire
  shape; stable=/latest, alpha=semver-max across the list, pinned=/tags):
  SHA-256 gate before any binary swap, tar.gz/zip extraction per
  platform, atomic bin/kigi symlink swap, channel/rollback semantics and
  the KIGI_AUTO_UPDATE gate preserved verbatim; every x.ai/GCS/npm
  endpoint deleted, npm/gh-release installers removed, legacy grok/agent
  links retired on install. kigi-env owns the update base URL with a
  KIGI_UPDATE_BASE_URL override (this is what the test artifact server
  injects).
- .cargo/config.toml: removed the non-portable neoverse-v2 CPU pin on
  Linux arm64 (fleet-specific); RELRO/NX hardening link-args now apply
  to the gnu targets too, matching the release-dist profile's contract.
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES regenerated via cargo-about (about.toml +
  template); the M0 hand-built file is dropped and README points at the
  generated one. docs/RELEASE.md carries the release checklist.
- Deleted xAI-era leftovers: kigi-tui/scripts/install*.{sh,ps1} (x.ai
  CDN) and the @xai-official/grok npm skeleton (PRD F8: no npm).

Gates: fmt clean; workspace check/clippy 0/0 (--locked, -D warnings);
kigi-update 58 lib + 86 integration tests green; deny ok;
release-dist build of kigi-bin succeeds and reports 'kigi 0.1.0'.

Kigi

Kigi (kigi) is an unofficial Kimi Code CLI community build — a terminal-based AI coding agent based on the Apache-2.0 sources of xai-org/grok-build, re-targeted at the Kimi Code subscription API and the Moonshot open platform.

It runs as a full-screen TUI that understands your codebase, edits files, executes shell commands, and manages long-running tasks — interactively, headlessly for scripting/CI, or embedded in editors via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

Kigi is not affiliated with Moonshot AI or xAI. It coexists with the official kimi CLI on the same machine: independent binary name, independent config directory (~/.kigi), independent keyring credentials, and a KIGI_* environment-variable namespace. Nothing the official client installs or stores is touched.

Status

0.1.0 — milestone M0 (compilable skeleton) complete:

  • 62 workspace crates renamed to the kigi-* namespace; brand and env-var namespaces separated from upstream.
  • Telemetry, voice input, announcements, plugin marketplace, and relay/gateway remote services removed. Kigi is zero-telemetry: the only outbound connections are the inference/auth APIs you configure, GitHub Releases for updates, and MCP servers you add.
  • Toolchain Rust 1.97.0; cargo check/clippy --workspace --all-targets clean; cargo deny check advisories gate in place.

Authentication and inference against Kimi Code (milestone M1), the compatibility surface (M2), and release distribution (M3) are in progress.

Providers and API keys

Kigi talks to a fixed three-platform registry:

Platform id Base URL Auth
kimi-code https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1 Kimi Code subscription OAuth (kigi login)
moonshot-cn https://api.moonshot.cn/v1 Moonshot open-platform API key
moonshot-ai https://api.moonshot.ai/v1 Moonshot open-platform API key

Moonshot API keys come from the environment or ~/.kigi/config.toml (environment wins; values are never logged):

export KIGI_MOONSHOT_API_KEY=sk-...     # applies to both open platforms
export KIGI_MOONSHOT_CN_API_KEY=sk-...  # platform-scoped, beats the generic name
export KIGI_MOONSHOT_AI_API_KEY=sk-...
# ~/.kigi/config.toml
[platforms.moonshot-cn]
api_key = "sk-..."

[platforms.moonshot-ai]
api_key = "sk-..."

On login and on startup Kigi syncs each configured platform's model list from GET {base}/models and shows the merged catalog in the model picker (catalog keys are {platform_id}/{model_id}). If the sync fails, the last cached catalog is used; with no cache, a small built-in fallback list applies. Model selection resolves as --model CLI flag > KIGI_DEFAULT_MODEL > [models] default in config.toml > server-delivered list > built-in fallback.

KIGI_CODE_BASE_URL re-points the subscription platform (useful for testing); KIGI_MOONSHOT_CN_BASE_URL / KIGI_MOONSHOT_AI_BASE_URL are the equivalent dev/test overrides for the open platforms.

Building from source

rustup toolchain install 1.97.0
cargo build --profile release-dist -p kigi-bin
./target/release-dist/kigi --version

protoc is invoked through the vendored dotslash launcher at bin/protoc; install dotslash (brew install dotslash or cargo install dotslash) if it is not already on your PATH.
