Kilocode 7.7.0 pre-warms git worktrees so an agent session does not wait on a full checkout

Released 2026-09-15, Agent Manager now pre-warms reusable worktrees and claims a ready one instead of running a full checkout, enabled by default at the cost of one extra checkout of disk space per open project. Alongside it: the primary checkout resolves in one git call instead of four, agents and skills are discovered for a new worktree before the first prompt arrives, and the first snapshot reuses the checkout's index state instead of re-hashing every file, with snapshot object repacking deferred until the repository is idle rather than blocking the running turn's tool steps. The same release enables the Kilo Swarm shared board by default (experimental.shared_agent_board: false to disable) and adds posting inline review comments to a checked-out GitHub PR from the diff views.
