 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [7.0.13-rc.1] - 2026-08-05
+
+### Added
+
+- Show the pinned Kilo Core version and whether JetBrains is using a downloaded or bundled CLI build.
+- Add JetBrains developer tooling for pinning, unpinning, and updating the bundled Kilo Core CLI used by the plugin.
+- Support resuming Claude and Codex sessions through the bundled Kilo Core runtime.
+- Add remote CLI file delivery support for attachment flows.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Avoid GitHub checksum API rate limits when JetBrains verifies downloaded Kilo Core CLI assets.
+- Add dropped files as JetBrains file references so attachments are available to Kilo reliably.
+- Stop eager Kilo Core file watchers when running from JetBrains to reduce unnecessary background work.
+- Improve JetBrains session diff rendering, including full-file editor diffs, multi-hunk diffs, fallback handling, gutter line numbers, and session-scoped diff paths.
+- Preserve configured subagent routing in Kilo Core.
+- Defer threshold compaction during active tool loops so long-running sessions do not compact at unsafe points.
+- Speed up local recall searches in Kilo Core.
+- Stop inline skill-shell documentation examples from triggering permission prompts.
+- Omit persona details from generated session names.
+- Skip Kilo Core startup work for informational commands.
+- Make invalid tool-argument errors clearer and more actionable to the model.
+- Allow explicit external markdown sources in Kilo Core.
+- Handle SQLite lock errors more gracefully.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Bump the JetBrains CLI pin to Kilo CLI v7.4.20.
+- Include upstream OpenCode updates through v1.17.13.
+- Adopt upstream reasoning variant metadata from OpenCode v1.18.11.
+

 # When true (default) the JetBrains plugin uses the pinned CLI release from package.json.
 # Set to false ONLY for local dev: generate the client from local source + bundle the local binary.
 # false is NOT releasable -- production builds fail unless this is true.
