Summary
In the Kimi Code VS Code extension chat panel, individual characters occasionally go missing from the assistant's rendered message text. The underlying model output is intact — verified against the session wire log — so the loss happens at the rendering (or copy-from-panel) layer.
Evidence
Session wire log (~/.kimi-code/sessions/.../agents/main/wire.jsonl) contains the full correct text, e.g.:
В режиме «спрашивать когда нужно» — displayed/copied as В режим «спрашивать когда нужно» (missing е)(разрешить — она закроет...) — displayed as (разреш — она закроет...) (missing ить)/yolo — displayed as /olo (missing y) — especially harmful for slash commands«продолжай», и она пойдёт — displayed without the closing quote and comma
The dropped characters are single, scattered, and look consistent with a redraw/line-wrap race during streaming in the webview.
Environment
- Extension: moonshot-ai.kimi-code 0.7.5 (darwin-arm64), latest on the marketplace as of 2026-09-05
- VS Code on macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Model: Kimi K2
Impact
Low for prose, but dangerous for commands: a missing character in a slash command or shell snippet silently breaks copy-paste execution.
Suggestion
If the webview re-renders streamed markdown on line-wrap boundaries, consider diffing against the accumulated raw text (source of truth) rather than incremental DOM patches, or re-sync the final message text once streaming completes.
