Proposed fix: [Kilo CLI] 'Persistent processes for this project are managed by another Kilo process' — second Kilo instance cannot start persistent background processes
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Use the Kilo instance that owns the project's persistent processes, close the other instance, or start the process with session lifetime.
Option: Use the Kilo instance that owns the project's persistent processes, close the other instance, or start the process with session lifetime. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Starting a persistent (lifetime: persistent) background process from a second Kilo instance/window/worktree on the same project
Steps:
1. Close other Kilo instances for the same project (or wait ~10 s after one crashed so the lease goes stale).
2. Retry the persistent process start.
3. Or start it with session lifetime.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
