 ## Unreleased
 
+- Added curated model support for `kimi-k2.6` -> `moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6` in the installer model picker and docs.
 - Made local alias package bootstrap publish without npm provenance because provenance requires a supported CI/OIDC provider.
 - Made alias package publishing skip cleanly until `@gonkagate/claude-code-setup` is bootstrapped on npm, with an explicit override for the first package publish.
 - Added `@gonkagate/claude-code-setup` as a setup-style alias for the existing Claude Code installer.

 If that model is unavailable, the likely cause is a backend deployment or model availability mismatch. This installer does not expose custom base URL or arbitrary custom model overrides, so the right next step is GonkaGate support or the backend troubleshooting docs in `gonka-proxy`.
