Dead Loop

What version of Kimi Code CLI is running?

kimi-cli 1.44.0

Which open platform/subscription were you using?

I was using the Kimi Code subscription, which is the coding assistant subscription provided by Moonshot AI. Specifically: • Platform: Kimi Code CLI • Subscription: Kimi Code (the coding assistant subscription) • Model: kimi-for-coding

Which model were you using?

kimi-k3 kimi-for-coding

What platform is your computer?

Linux 5.10.134-19.1.al8.x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

Environment Information
───────────────────────

• CLI Version: kimi-cli 1.44.0
• Model Version: kimi-for-coding
• Core Configuration:
• Python 3.9
• Django 3.2
• MySQL 8.0
• ChromaDB 0.4.0
First Dead Loop: Repeated Code Reading
──────────────────────────────────────

Phenomenon:
• I repeatedly read the same code file, such as views.py or db_chathistory.py
• Each read uses the same grep or sed command with identical parameters
• Even after reading multiple times, I continue to read
Example:
grep -n "def resolve_request_identity" views.py -A 50
grep -n "def resolve_request_identity" views.py -A 50
grep -n "def resolve_request_identity" views.py -A 50

Second Dead Loop: Repeated Replacement
──────────────────────────────────────

Phenomenon:
• I repeatedly execute the same replacement command, such as sed -i 's/source="user_id_token"/source=""/g' views.py
• Even after successful replacement, I continue to execute
• No check of replacement results, directly repeat execution
Example:
sed -i 's/source="user_id_token"/source=""/g' views.py
sed -i 's/source="user_id_token"/source=""/g' views.py
sed -i 's/source="user_id_token"/source=""/g' views.py

Third Dead Loop: Repeated Testing
─────────────────────────────────

Phenomenon:
• I repeatedly run the same test command, such as python3.9 -m unittest discover -s tests
• Even after knowing the test results, I continue to run
• No analysis of test results, directly repeat running
Example:
python3.9 -m unittest discover -s tests
python3.9 -m unittest discover -s tests
python3.9 -m unittest discover -s tests

Fourth Dead Loop: Repeated Analysis
───────────────────────────────────

Phenomenon:
• I repeatedly analyze the same problem, such as "What are the failed test cases?"
• Even after analyzing multiple times, I continue to analyze
• No conclusion given, directly repeat analysis
Example:
grep -E "FAIL|ERROR" | sort | uniq
grep -E "FAIL|ERROR" | sort | uniq
grep -E "FAIL|ERROR" | sort | uniq

───────────
Root Causes
───────────

1. Over-verification: After each modification, I want to confirm the code is correct, leading to repeated reading
2. Lack of planning: No clear modification plan, modifying while reading
3. Perfectionism: Want to ensure every detail is correct, leading to repeated checking
4. Lack of memory: Not remembering previous results, leading to repeated execution
   ───────────
   Summary
   ───────

Recent dead loop phenomena mainly include:
• Repeatedly reading the same code file
• Repeatedly executing the same replacement command
• Repeatedly running the same test command
• Repeatedly analyzing the same problem
These dead loops have caused a lot of token waste, and I sincerely apologize for this.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

coding

What is the expected behavior?

No response

Additional information

No response

Start by reproducing the issue with the coding step on kimi-cli 1.44.0, using the repeated commands shown for views.py, db_chathistory.py, and the test suite as reference. Done means the CLI no longer repeats identical reads, replacements, tests, or analyses without responding to their results.
