What's new in Kiro CLI, September 2026
Kiro CLI adds a V3 session dashboard, fullscreen chat and opt-in Workflows
Kiro CLI's September 2026 releases centered on the V3 terminal interface: a new session dashboard, fullscreen chat, session-wide tool approval and opt-in Workflows. Seven releases shipped, from v2.21.4 to v2.26.0.
v2.21.0 added the V3 dashboard for browsing, searching, resuming and cleaning up local and cloud sessions, plus a configuration panel and Configuration Sync that can apply uploaded cloud configuration to new local sessions. Fullscreen chat arrived in v2.22.0 for interactive TUI and Lite sessions. v2.24.0 added session-wide tool approval to V3 and stopped project .env files from loading automatically into chat sessions, MCP servers and tools. v2.25.0 added Powers management from local V3 sessions and a SessionEnd Hook. v2.26.0 added Workflows and tightened approval checks for file writes in untrusted workspaces. Other releases carried reliability updates for terminal rendering, authentication and long-running work.
