ZacharyZhang-NY a3f062b522 F6: kimi-cli command parity — kigi acp, mcp auth, --mcp-config-file
- `kigi acp`: top-level alias for the stdio ACP server (kimi-cli `acp`).
  AgentArgs.mode is now optional — bare `kigi agent` and `kigi acp` both
  default to stdio at dispatch; `kigi acp <mode>` is rejected.
- `kigi mcp auth <name>`: authorize an OAuth-enabled remote MCP server
  (kimi-cli `mcp auth`). Reuses the doctor's interactive connection path:
  starts the named server with OauthInteractivity::Interactive (browser
  flow when required), completes the handshake, and reports the tool
  count. Stdio servers and unknown names fail with actionable errors.
- `--mcp-config-file <PATH>` (repeatable, global): extra MCP config files
  in the .mcp.json shape ({"mcpServers": {...}}), kimi-cli semantics.
  Files are validated at parse time (fail fast on unreadable/invalid
  JSON), carried across the TUI -> shell boundary via
  KIGI_MCP_CONFIG_FILES, and merged at HIGHEST priority — an explicitly
  passed file overrides every config scope. Covered by loader unit tests
  and verified live: an injected server surfaces in the session's
  x.ai/mcp/servers_updated notification via both the flag and the env.

The stale bare-agent-requires-mode CLI test is re-contracted to the new
default-to-stdio behavior.

kigi-tui

Terminal UI (TUI) for Grok Build. Provides the interactive full-screen interface including the scrollback view, prompt input, session management, and all modal dialogs.

Key Concepts

  • AppView — owns the welcome screen, agent sessions, and global config
  • AgentView — one per session; owns the prompt, scrollback, tool panes, and modals
  • PromptWidget — text editor component with file search (@), slash commands (/), history search, and paste elements
  • Action/Effect — Elm-style architecture: input → Action → dispatch → Effect → state update

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key Context Action
Ctrl+P or ? Agent screen Open command palette
Ctrl+L Any (nonVS Code family) Open plugins/hooks modal; on VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf / Zed use /plugins or /hooks (Ctrl+L is mid-turn interject)
Tab Prompt Switch to scrollback
Esc Turn running No-op (does not cancel; use Ctrl+C)
Esc Esc Idle, non-empty prompt Clear prompt (within 800ms; first press shows hint)
Esc Esc Idle, empty prompt + messages Open rewind picker (silent first press)
Ctrl+M Prompt Toggle multiline mode
Shift+Enter Prompt Insert newline
/ Prompt Start slash command
@ Prompt Start file search
! Prompt (empty) Enter bash mode
Ctrl+C Prompt (with text) Clear prompt (even while turn running)
Ctrl+C Prompt (empty) + turn running Cancel running turn
