Docs: VS Code extension getting-started page still claims new CLI (TS) users cannot install the extension #1937

Description

@DarknessChaser

What version of Kimi Code is running?

0.27.0

Which open platform/subscription were you using?

Kimi Code membership (managed service, logged in via /login)

Which model were you using?

kimi-for-coding

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.2.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The Kimi Code for VS Code getting-started pages still show a compatibility banner that is no longer true:

This stopped being true when the extension migrated to the in-process Node SDK (v0.6.0+, e.g. #1769, released on 2026-07-17 with v0.6.3 / #1856) — the extension now runs the same engine as the new TS CLI and no longer requires a legacy Python CLI. I am running extension 0.6.3 (darwin-arm64) together with CLI 0.27.0 and it works fine.

The banner has been stale for over a month (present since at least 2026-06-18 per web.archive.org snapshots) and may discourage new-CLI users from installing the extension.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Install the new (Node.js / TS) Kimi Code CLI 0.27.0 and log in.
  2. Install Kimi Code for VS Code extension 0.6.3 from the Marketplace — installation and usage work.
  3. Open the docs pages listed above: they still claim installation is not supported for TS-version CLI users.

What is the expected behavior?

The compatibility banner is removed or updated to reflect the current state, e.g. requiring extension >= 0.6.0 for the new Node.js CLI, in both the Chinese and English pages.

Additional information

Related closed issues about the extension compatibility itself: #1600, #1725 (fixed by the v0.6.3 release). This issue is only about the documentation not being updated afterwards.
