Context

Adds a /session export command to the Kilo Code CLI that allows users to export their conversation sessions to shareable file formats (Markdown, HTML, JSONL). This enables users to save sessions for documentation, PR descriptions, bug reports, and auditing purposes.

Implementation

• Created cli/src/utils/export.ts with rendering functions for each format:
  • renderToMarkdown() - Generates README-friendly Markdown with metadata header
  • renderToHtml() - Produces a self-contained HTML file with dark theme styling
  • renderToJsonl() - Outputs one JSON object per line for programmatic processing
• Extended CommandContext with getMessages() and getExtensionState() to provide access to unified messages and session metadata
• Added export subcommand to the existing /session command, following the pattern of other subcommands (show, list, share, etc.)
• Messages are filtered to exclude internal types (api_req_started, checkpoints) and empty content
• Export files default to ./kilo-exports/ with auto-directory creation

How to Test

   pnpm cli:bundle
   cd cli && pnpm start

2. Send a message to start a conversation (e.g., "Hello")
3. Test the export commands:
   • /session export markdown - exports to ./kilo-exports/session-<id>.md
   • /session export html - exports to ./kilo-exports/session-<id>.html
   • /session export jsonl ./test.jsonl - exports to custom path
4. Open the exported files to verify content and formatting
