[Feature] Add /btw side-question command in Kimi Code #182

Description

@MengyangGao

What feature would you like to see?

Legacy kimi-cli supported /btw <question> as a side-question command. In the new TypeScript-based Kimi Code(for now, v0.5.0) implementation, /btw does not appear in the built-in slash command registry or the current slash command documentation, and using it behaves as an unknown slash input / normal message instead of opening a side-question flow.

Legacy behavior

In legacy kimi-cli, /btw allowed the user to ask a quick side question without interrupting the main conversation.

Documented behavior:

  • Usage: /btw <question>
  • Available both when idle and during streaming.
  • Runs in an isolated context.
  • Can see conversation history.
  • Does not modify the main conversation history.
  • Tool calls are disabled; response is text-only.
  • During streaming, the response appears in a scrollable modal panel.
  • Wire / ACP clients could use BtwBegin / BtwEnd with run_side_question().

Expected behavior

Kimi Code should restore feature parity with legacy kimi-cli:

/btw <question>
