Kaku V0.12.0

A fast, out-of-the-box terminal built for AI coding.

Changelog

  1. Session Scrollback: Reopening restores each pane's scrollback up to 1,500 lines, reflowing when the width changed.
  2. Codex Backend: Kaku Assistant runs on your existing Codex / ChatGPT login, no separate API key needed.
  3. AI Chat: The chat overlay streams answers in real time, suggests your next message with /suggest, and reopens reliably every time.
  4. AI Shell: The # quick-fix adds injection detection, and tool access blocks credential files like .env and SSH keys in any directory.
  5. SmartPrompt: Cmd+Q quits instantly when every pane sits at a shell prompt, and asks first when an agent or editor is running.
  6. macOS Window: Theme flips refresh all windows at once, fullscreen exit is clean, a title-bar click no longer maximizes, and cursor and tab-bar rendering are tightened.
  7. Document Open: PDFs, images, media, archives, and Office files open in their default app instead of VS Code.
  8. Tidy: smart_tab_mode is added, Simplified Chinese localization is removed, the zsh comment highlight is brighter, and new CI gates are in place.

更新日志

  1. 会话历史恢复:重开后会恢复每个面板最多 1,500 行滚动历史,列宽变了也会自动重排。
  2. Codex 后端:Kaku Assistant 可以直接用你现有的 Codex / ChatGPT 登录,不用再单独配 API key。
  3. AI 聊天:聊天面板实时流式输出,可以用 /suggest 预测你的下一句,每次都能稳定打开。
  4. AI Shell# 生成命令加入注入检测,工具访问在任意目录拦截 .env、SSH 私钥等敏感文件。
  5. SmartPrompt:所有面板都停在 shell 提示符时 Cmd+Q 直接退出,仍有 agent 或编辑器运行时会先询问。
  6. macOS 窗口:浅深色切换一次刷新所有窗口,退出全屏更干净,标题栏单击不再误触最大化,光标和标签栏渲染也更稳。
  7. 文档默认打开:PDF、图片、音视频、压缩包、Office 文档都用系统默认 app 打开,不再被 VS Code 抢走。
  8. 轻装:新增 smart_tab_mode,移除简体中文本地化,zsh 注释高亮更清晰,新增多道 CI 检查。

Special thanks to @t0m-car for the non-fancy tab bar fixes.
