Summary

• Install Marketplace plugins from a git repository, using a git source such as git:github.com/owner/[email protected]#subdir so a plugin can be distributed without publishing to npm.
• Install plugins from the Kilo Marketplace via npm packages, alongside agents, skills, and MCP servers.
• Fix git-hosted Marketplace plugins so ~/ repository paths resolve, a failed clone leaves no staging directory, POSIX paths with a backslash are preserved, and uninstalling a plugin deletes its cloned

Full notes

### Added

- Install Marketplace plugins from a git repository, using a git source such as `git:github.com/owner/[email protected]#subdir` so a plugin can be distributed without publishing to npm.
- Install plugins from the Kilo Marketplace via npm packages, alongside agents, skills, and MCP servers.

### Fixed

- Fix git-hosted Marketplace plugins so `~/` repository paths resolve, a failed clone leaves no staging directory, POSIX paths with a backslash are preserved, and uninstalling a plugin deletes its cloned cache when no scope still uses it. The plugin install dialog no longer describes every plugin as an npm plugin.
- Deliver plan completion questions to directory-scoped clients such as JetBrains without requiring a reconnect.
- Explain that file checkpoints require Git when a revert cannot restore files, showing "File checkpoints require a Git repository" instead of the generic "No file checkpoint was available" notice.
- Keep Agent Manager attention badges in sync with resolved prompts, surface sandbox escalation permissions, and center status glyphs.
- Keep JetBrains worktree session tabs responsive by deferring and batching transcript updates accumulated while a tab is hidden.
- Fix the JetBrains shared board dialog layout when resizing and remove redundant message hover tooltips.
- Add missing JetBrains release locale keys and guard localized bundles against stale entries.

### Changed

- Update the bundled JetBrains CLI pin to Kilo CLI v7.7.9.
