ZacharyZhang-NY ea0ce9d15f F3: Kimi inference pipeline + full grok cloud-surface excision
Sampler / inference (PRD F3):
- kimi_compat.rs: single adaptation point for the Kimi chat/completions
  dialect (thinking-field mapping, model_id stripping, empty-content
  tool-call message fix, stream_options.include_usage), with kimi-cli
  source citations
- Rate-limit handling reworked for Kimi/Moonshot semantics; UA kigi/{version}
- /models replaces the xAI models-v2 endpoint everywhere; idle model
  refresh carries X-Msh-* device headers only (X-XAI-Token-Auth and
  x-grok-client-mode/CLIENT_MODE_HEADER machinery deleted)

Cloud-surface excision (PRD §5, zero-egress):
- remote/ conversations lane, cli-chat-proxy-types crate, prod/ dir,
  share command, credit bar: deleted (single local session lane;
  paginate() replaces merge_and_paginate)
- Subscription/tier gate stack deleted end-to-end: AppView
  gate/tier/team/ZDR fields, app/subscription.rs watch loop,
  dispatch/billing.rs paywall + SuperGrok upsell, free-usage-exhausted
  chain, tier-restricted commands, GateInfo, RemoteSettings gate fields,
  SettingsUpdateNotification gate fields
- /privacy + coding-data-sharing setting deleted (backed by a dead xAI
  RPC; Kigi is zero-egress — nothing to share or retain remotely)

Auth UX correctness (user-reported):
- Device-flow fixtures now mirror the live Kimi payload shape
  (https://www.kimi.com/code/authorize_device?user_code=..., verified
  against auth.kimi.com); the fabricated auth.kimi.com/device?code=...
  URLs are gone
- open_browser_detached is a no-op under cfg(test): unit tests drove
  wiremock fixture URLs into the real browser (root cause of the
  "garbage mock link" ABCD-1234 tabs)
- Welcome/pager-minimal rebrand: Grok Build -> Kigi, grok.com ->
  kimi.com, "Sign in to Grok" -> "Sign in to Kimi"

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.
