### Added

- Add Checkpoints settings for snapshots and automatic session cleanup, including manual cleanup controls and the latest cleanup result.
- Install companion skills when adding MCP servers from the marketplace.
- Publish CycloneDX software bills of materials alongside JetBrains release artifacts.
- Support MCP servers that use client ID metadata documents for OAuth registration.

### Fixed

- Avoid a crash when reloading or unloading the JetBrains plugin while editor history still references Kilo virtual files.
- Keep model selection isolated to each session, including overlapping agent runs and cleanup.
- Keep sub-agents that belong to an active chat during session cleanup.
- Make background-agent and todo strip headers expand, collapse, and highlight consistently while keeping expanded agent links actionable.
- Show specific revert guidance when snapshots are disabled, a checkpoint is unavailable, or the project is not a Git repository.

### Changed

- Reclaim database space after session cleanup and allow cleanup to be stopped.
- Speed up switching between worktree session editor tabs with long transcripts and reduce unnecessary Agent Manager list repainting.
- Trim single-line transcript labels more consistently with an ellipsis when they overflow.
