feat: add Kimi Code driver over ACP stdio

[koeseo]

What

Adds Moonshot's Kimi Code CLI (kimi) as a new agent provider, riding the generic ACP runtime in server/drivers/acp/core.ts — the same path as Grok Build and Gemini. One support object (server/drivers/acp/kimi.ts), one registration line, one default-fleet instance.

Why ACP (not Kimi's --output-format stream-json)

Verified empirically against kimi-code 0.29.1: the CLI's own stream-json mode emits bare {"role":"assistant","content":…} lines — no tool events, no permission protocol. kimi acp however is a full ACP server: initialize reports loadSession: true (session resume works), mcpCapabilities http+sse, and a session/new → session/prompt roundtrip streams agent_thought_chunk + agent_message_chunk and settles with end_turn. So Kimi gets inline permission cards, thinking-stream rendering, and session continuity for free via the existing core.

Per-harness quirks encoded

• Auth: the only advertised authMethod is {id: "login", type: "terminal"} (device-code flow) — it can't be driven over ACP, so pickAuthMethod returns null and turns ride the ambient login from a prior kimi login (~/.kimi-code/credentials/kimi-code.json), authFailure: "continue".
• Model selection: -m is a global commander option and must precede the acp subcommand (verified on 0.29.1). Catalog mirrors the CLI's own aliases (kimi-code/k3 default, k3-256k, kimi-for-coding, kimi-for-coding-highspeed).
• Billing guard: MOONSHOT_API_KEY / KIMI_API_KEY are stripped from the child env so a subscription CLI can't silently flip to pay-as-you-go (mirrors the claude/grok drivers).

Verified

• pnpm typecheck clean, pnpm test 259 passed / 8 skipped on current main.
• Live end-to-end through the harness API: bot created with modelSelection {instanceId: "kimi", model: "kimi-code/k3"}, turn sent, streamed reply with thought chunks, turn.completed ok — persona injection via buildPromptText confirmed working.
• /api/instances snapshot: kimi → available, authenticated: true, version 0.29.1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Kimi Code ACP driver that uses the kimi acp CLI, detects ambient authentication, supports model selection, and registers a default kimi instance.

Changes

Kimi ACP integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Kimi ACP driver implementation server/drivers/acp/kimi.ts	Adds KimiAgentDriver with model metadata, CLI spawning, environment cleanup, credential detection, prompt construction, and non-interactive authentication handling.
Kimi driver validation server/drivers/acp/acp.test.ts	Adds coverage for Kimi defaults, platform-specific installation commands, sign-in behavior, and credential resolution.
Kimi driver registration and default instance server/drivers/builtIn.ts, server/config.ts	Registers KimiAgentDriver and adds the default kimi instance mapped to kimiAgent.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7aa5e

This adds the Kimi Code provider with localized registration and configuration changes, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Reviewing now. Looks pretty good

[kargnas]

Follow-up implemented in #143: Kimi models, defaults, effort levels, and capabilities are now discovered from the installed provider JSON instead of a hardcoded list, then validated and applied through ACP.
