+
+    ```markdown
+    ## Summary
+    - Bump <package> to <version>
+    - Move the current release notes under <version>
+    - (If applicable) Move breaking-change entries under <version>
+    - (If applicable) Any additional noteworthy changes (dependency pin updates, etc.)
+
+    ## Validation
+    - uv run python scripts/check_version_tag.py --pyproject <pyproject> --expected-version <version>
+    - (For root releases) uv run python scripts/check_version_tag.py --pyproject packages/kimi-code/pyproject.toml --expected-version <version>

+    ## Post-merge
+    After this PR lands, create and push the release tag:
+
+    ```sh
+    git tag <tag>
+    git push origin <tag>
+    ```
+    ```
 
 11. **Hand off the tag step.** After merge, switch to `main`, pull latest, and tell the user the exact `git tag` command for the final release tag (pick the right tag pattern from the table above — e.g. `git tag 1.43.0` for a root release, `git tag kosong-0.54.0` for a kosong release). The user will run the tag and push tags themselves.

 Kimi Code CLI now uses FastMCP 3's persistent OAuth storage API for MCP servers and stores MCP OAuth tokens under `~/.kimi/mcp-oauth/`. Tokens from the old FastMCP 2.x cache location are not migrated automatically.
