Platforms

  • ForgeKairos is developed and tested on Windows. The macOS and Linux packages have not been built or tested.
  • The built-in browser panel needs Microsoft Edge WebView2 and works only on Windows.
  • The bundled remote server is for Linux x86_64 hosts.
  • On Windows 11, Open with ForgeKairos may appear only under "Show more options".
  • Collaboration (calls and screen sharing) is not included.

Network control

  • The proxy given to agents and MCP servers works only for programs that read the proxy environment variables.
  • The allowlist does not restrict the editor's own tools (language servers, extensions, updates, Git) or, by default, the built-in browser.
  • Outside the sandbox, an agent's network is restrained only as far as it honors the proxy settings.

Translation

  • Text sent to language models and log messages stay English.
  • Some labels, such as tab titles, switch language only after a restart.
  • A remote server uses one display language for all clients connected to it.

C and C++

  • The symbol index matches by name: a result can be an unrelated symbol of the same name. Results from the index are marked as name matches.
  • After a language server restart, diagnostics for files that no one has open stay cleared. "Restart All Servers" with no file open leaves the servers stopped.
  • With clangd.index_mode = "light", references, call hierarchy and renames cover only open files.

Remote development

  • Terminals that survive disconnects work only on SSH hosts other than Windows, and not for tasks or agent shells.
  • Folders watched by polling on Linux show external changes a few seconds late.

Markdown, Mermaid and CSV

  • Text colors and sizes use HTML style attributes, which GitHub does not render.
  • Editing Mermaid labels by double-clicking in the preview works only for flowcharts, ER, state, class, sequence, pie and Gantt diagrams. The structured editor refuses to open a diagram whose syntax it cannot reproduce.
  • The CSV grid has no formulas, number or date formatting, merged cells, or column reordering by dragging.
