Run V3 specs with /spec run in Kiro’s full-screen task view
Kiro 2.20.1 gives V3 spec runs a dedicated full-screen task execution view via /spec run, with real-time progress and pre-run task scope selection, plus a Preserve scrollback toggle that keeps terminal history through overflow and resize redraws.Why this loop
v2.20.1 changes how V3 specs should be executed. Inline or partial runs hide progress and make it easy to execute the wrong slice of a spec. /spec run now opens a dedicated full-screen task execution view: pick task scope before anything starts, then follow progress in real time. During long runs, overflow and resize redraws can wipe terminal history unless Preserve scrollback is on. Treat full-screen /spec run plus that toggle as the default V3 execution path so scope is chosen deliberately and terminal output remains inspectable after the run.
Proposed actions
- Upgrade Kiro to v2.20.1 (27 Aug 2026) so V3 spec runs get the full-screen task execution view and Preserve scrollback.
- In Kiro, open the V3 spec you intend to execute and run
/spec runto open the dedicated full-screen task execution view instead of kicking tasks inline. - In that full-screen view, choose the task scope you actually want before execution begins, then watch real-time progress rather than running the whole spec unscoped.
- Turn on the Preserve scrollback toggle so terminal history stays available through overflow and resize redraws during the spec run.
