Notifications

Kodik sends notifications through the OS’s native notification system — not VS Code toasts — so they appear even when the IDE is running in the background or minimized.

Notifications fire when the setting is enabled and the IDE window is not focused:

  • Task complete — the agent finished its task.
  • Permission required — the agent is waiting for you to approve an action.
  • Shell command running for 30 seconds — an auto-approved shell command is still running and may need attention.
  • Mistake limit reached — the agent stopped after encountering repeated errors.
