Kimi Code CLI as a T2 Handoff Source | Reinstate

Kimi Code CLI is T2: a handoff source and a read-only local index. Reinstate does not launch Kimi as a native resume target and does not sync Kimi sessions.

T2 means rein handoff --from kimi can build a portable capsule. Kimi Code CLI is not a T3 resume agent and not a T5 sync agent.

What T2 includes

  • T1 read-only discovery, search, and inspect of local Kimi Code CLI sessions.
  • T2 structured handoff from Kimi Code CLI into a new Claude Code or Codex session.
  • Fail-closed behavior on an unrecognized layout (exit code 5).
  • Unknown wire.jsonl records stay referenced, with no payload body.

What T2 excludes

  • No rein resume / rein fork of a Kimi session.
  • No rein handoff --to kimi destination.
  • No rein push / rein pull of Kimi sessions.
  • No write into Kimi’s session store.

Native resume is same-vendor, and Kimi Code CLI is not a T3 agent.

A handoff starts a new Claude Code or Codex session. It does not reconstruct Kimi history or translate the vendor transcript.

Kimi's T2 handoff source is merged and ships in the current tree, but it has not reached a certified stable release: stable remains v0.5.1, where Kimi Code CLI predates this tier. See the release boundary and thechangelog.
