feat(jetbrains): add Rules settings page; pin CLI to v7.4.13

[kirillk]

Context

Two JetBrains changes:

1. Adds a Rules page under Settings → Agent Behavior, matching the VS Code experience for managing instruction files and Claude Code compatibility.
2. Pins the CLI to v7.4.13 to repair cloud session history import.

Implementation

Rules settings page

• New Rules page under Settings → Agent Behavior.
• Manage additional instruction files (the instructions config) in a Skills-style list.
• Open in Editor, Edit (in-dialog content editor), and Delete per instruction file.
• Add file dialog with a "..." browse button.
• Claude Code Compatibility toggle (Load Claude Code Files).
• Per-row action buttons hide when the list is not focused (applies to all list-based settings pages, including Skills).
• Unified the add/edit path dialog across Rules and Skills into one reusable dialog.

CLI pin 7.4.11 → 7.4.13

JetBrains history loading is broken for cloud-only sessions. Loading such a session triggers a cloud import, which fails against the pinned CLI:

Cloud session import failed: HTTP 400 — {"_tag":"BadRequest"}
  at KiloBackendSessionManager.importCloudSession(KiloBackendSessionManager.kt:242)

The root cause is the pinned CLI binary, not the plugin. The plugin runs the CLI release pinned in packages/kilo-jetbrains/package.json (was 7.4.11). That binary contains the pre-fix cloud-import path, which fails in installed/compiled CLI builds and returns HTTP 400 BadRequest. The bug exists in every stable CLI release up to and including 7.4.11 — it is not a regression. The fix (#12329) landed on main and first ships in CLI v7.4.13; no plugin-side code change is required (the request/response contract is unchanged).

Why a pre-release pin: the normal path is to pin to the latest stable release, but none contains the fix yet:

• v7.4.13 — published pre-release, includes fix(cli): repair cloud session imports #12329, has all runtime assets. Pinnable and functional.
• v7.4.14 — draft, 0 assets → the plugin's CLI download would 404 at connect time. Not usable.
• v7.4.11 / earlier stable — no fix; the bug persists.

When a stable release ≥ 7.4.13 is published, the automated jetbrains-cli-pin-bump PR will move the pin to it and this pre-release pin can be dropped. kilo.cli.pinned stays true (releasable state).

How to Test

Manual/local verification

• Opened Settings → Kilo Code → Agent Behavior → Rules; added instruction files via the browse dialog, edited a file's contents in the in-dialog editor, toggled Claude Code compatibility, and confirmed values persist on OK/Apply.
• Confirmed per-row buttons hide when the list loses focus and reappear when it regains focus.
• Regenerated the OpenAPI client from the v7.4.13 spec; backend, frontend, and shared sources compile. Cloud session history imports without the HTTP 400 {"_tag":"BadRequest"} error.

Reviewer test steps

1. Open Settings → Kilo Code → Agent Behavior → Rules.
2. Click + to add an instruction file (use the "..." button to browse). Apply/OK and reopen to confirm it persisted.
3. Select a row, click Edit, change contents, OK the dialog, then OK Settings; confirm the file was written.
4. Toggle Load Claude Code Files and confirm it saves (backend restart).
5. Click into the search field so the list loses focus; confirm the row action buttons disappear.
6. Open a cloud-only session's history and confirm it imports without the HTTP 400 BadRequest error.

Blocked checks and substitute verification

• None. Ran ./gradlew typecheck and the full ./gradlew test suite from packages/kilo-jetbrains/ — both pass (executed by the agent).

User impact

On update, the plugin auto-downloads the pinned CLI (v7.4.13) on first connect, verifies its checksum, caches it, and prunes older cached versions. No user action required.

Code Review Summary

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

All issues from the previous review were addressed in 3d5ee24:

• Removed the test-only component() seams on SettingsPathDialog and InstructionEditDialog; tests now exercise settingsPathInput/settingsContentScroll and the public dialog API directly.
• Removed the unused settings.rules.files.remove bundle key from all 22 locale files.
• Updated the changeset to mention the cloud session history import fix alongside the Rules feature.

No new issues found in the incremental changes.

WARNING

File	Line	Issue
packages/kilo-jetbrains/frontend/src/main/kotlin/ai/kilocode/client/settings/base/SettingsPathDialog.kt	39	component() is a production method added only for test access, violating the package's own AGENTS.md guidance

SUGGESTION

File	Line	Issue
packages/kilo-jetbrains/frontend/src/main/resources/messages/KiloBundle.properties	525	settings.rules.files.remove bundle key is added but never referenced (dead string, duplicated across 29 locale files)
.changeset/jetbrains-rules-settings.md	5	Changeset describes only the Rules feature, omitting the user-facing CLI pin fix for cloud session history import
