Screen kilo/idle-v7-8-18
Kilo Code CLI 7.8.18 with no login starts in its input box. The box has the same shape as the box of opencode: a bar "┃" at the left, the placeholder "Ask anything... "Fix broken tests"", the line "Code · Auto Free Kilo Gateway" and a rule "╹▀▀▀" below it. The footer gives "tab agents ctrl+p commands", a tip, and the folder with the version at the bottom. The placeholder is not typed text. Eight more labels gave the same screen, except two parts that change from start to start (the example in the placeholder and the tip) and, on macOS, one space less before the version. On macos-26-intel the pane was still empty (blank-v7-8-18). The screen is the capture 20 s after the start, with no key sent, by scenarios/first-run.sh in the scenarios workflow run 41142220844 on the CI runner ubuntu-24.04 (x64), with a throwaway HOME, no login and no key.

provenance- measured-edited
edits- tools/scrub.sh changed the home folder of the runner account to ~, so the line that held the path is shorter
- the throwaway folder ~/.cache/agent-signals/run.<random>/work/example is replaced with /work/example, so that line is shorter again
