Fold all runtime==='kimi'/isKimi logic branches into descriptor-driven
hostBehaviors (localInstallDeferred, verificationStyle, agentManifestStyle,
reapplyCommand, doneBannerStyle) + add 'kimi' to _DESCRIPTOR_AGENTS_RUNTIMES.
Kimi's skills/kimi-agents dispatch was already descriptor-driven (converter-by-
name + kimi-agents kind). Zero isKimi/runtime==='kimi' branches remain.
UPGRADE 1 (native hook bus): new hooksSurface 'kimi-hooks-toml' + a marker-
delimited config.toml [[hooks]] emitter (buildKimiHooksTomlBlock/writeKimiHooksToml
in runtime-hooks-surface.cts; resolveKimiHooksTomlDir in runtime-homes.cts).
GSD's lifecycle hooks now wire into Kimi's native ~/.kimi/config.toml (Context7-
confirmed path) at SessionStart/PreToolUse/Stop/PreCompact/SubagentStart/
SubagentStop — kimi becomes a hooks/ consumer (the 3 && !isKimi exclusion guards
removed). config.toml holds absolute install paths so it's golden-excluded via
an exact relative-path (.kimi/config.toml), not a basename (which would blind
Codex's config.toml). New hooksSurface value added to the closed enum in
capability-validator + runtime-config-adapter-registry.
UPGRADE 2 (background dispatch): flip dispatch.backgroundDispatch true (Kimi's
Agent tool takes run_in_background; root agent already gets the Agent tool), so
negotiation no longer flattens dispatch. subagentToolkit stays 'undocumented'
per AC (coder/explore/plan have distinct tool policies).
MCP transport explicitly deferred (no installer-driven MCP for any runtime).
Golden: only kimi.json changes (hooks/ scripts now installed); all 15 others +
claude-local byte-identical (kilo/zcode keep their own exclusions). Tests:
kimi-imperative-reference (adapter/axes/fail-closed/hostBehaviors + source-grep
guard) + kimi-upgrades (config.toml [[hooks]] SessionStart + marker idempotency
+ backgroundDispatch negotiation). CONTEXT.md glossary + matrix + how-to updated;
changeset (Added).
