Kimi Code 2.3.2 makes single-agent the default; subagents and Agent Swarm now need explicit opt-in
Kimi Code CLI 2.3.2 changes its defaults: the agent now handles tasks itself instead of proactively spawning subagents, and delegation must be requested in the prompt, AGENTS.md, a skill or a multi-agent mode. The agent can no longer launch AgentSwarm on its own; swarms run only when the user turns on swarm mode, so they are unavailable in headless kimi -p runs and ACP clients such as Zed.
Why it matters
Automatic fan-out can turn one prompt into many concurrent model calls. Opt-in delegation makes token use more predictable, but workflows that relied on automatic swarms need explicit instructions.
