One signal

Moonshot AI has released kimi-cli 1.51.0 with a notable change hidden among two terse release notes: the kimi-cli project is being archived, and users are being directed to Kimi Code CLI instead.

Why it matters

The release does not explain the migration path, feature differences or support timetable. Developers relying on kimi-cli should therefore check Moonshot’s Kimi Code CLI documentation before assuming the old project will continue receiving updates. It is a small release with a large maintenance question attached. Software rarely says goodbye with a brass band, but an archive notice is still worth spotting. Should projects publish a fuller migration plan when they retire a developer tool?
