Description

What feature would you like to see?

encountered Max number of steps reached: 100 after kimi works for some time. the low default makes no sense - when the cli stops, context is sitting at 34.5% used (bottom-right corner) in my experience. Of course a simple solution is to change the config, but i don't think that is very "expected" for out-of-box experience.

Expected Behavior/Enhancement: by default, allow enough steps to make full use of the available context. further auto compact could be added for better long task handling

Additional information

kimi, version 1.16.0

Research direction

Start in the CLI configuration and execution path by locating the default maximum-step setting and the code that reports “Max number of steps reached: 100.” Reproduce the behavior with kimi 1.16.0 or the current version, then verify that the default supports longer tasks without requiring configuration changes and that existing step-limit behavior remains covered.
