Command Execution

Interactive terminal output rendering and approval controls for executed commands.

Location

Command execution rendering is now handled by kilo-ui's <KiloMessage> component which includes per-tool renderers including BasicTool. There is no standalone command execution component — tool messages are rendered through the unified message pipeline.

Interactions

• Expand/collapse terminal output (chevron down icon)
• Abort button to kill running processes (shows PID)
• Exit status indicator - color-coded dot (green=success, red=failure) with tooltip
• Command pattern selector:
  • Allow/deny command patterns
  • Updates auto-approval settings
• Real-time output streaming - shows live command output as it executes
• Syntax highlighting for shell commands

Suggested migration

Reimplement? Partial.

• With Kilo CLI executing tools server-side, “abort” should map to Kilo CLI’s session abort semantics (see Phase 2 in docs/opencode-core/opencode-migration-plan.md) rather than killing a local PID.
• If Kilo CLI does not expose the underlying process PID, the UI may need to degrade gracefully (hide PID, keep “Abort current run”).
• Kilo CLI UI reference: command/tool output is rendered as markdown/code in packages/ui/src/components/message-part.tsx.
• Streaming output should be sourced from Kilo CLI SSE events (adapter work), but the webview rendering can remain.
