session not found: %s

Error message

session not found: %s

What it means

Agent.DeleteSession returns this when findKimiSessionDir cannot locate a directory corresponding to the given sessionID under kimi's session storage. It guards os.RemoveAll against deleting a nonexistent or unresolvable session path.

Solutions

1. Call ListSessions first and use an exact ID from its output
2. Verify the session directory exists under kimiSessionsBaseDirs() for the daemon user
3. Treat this as idempotent: ignore the error if the goal is 'ensure deleted'
4. Check that the daemon's HOME matches the user who created the sessions

Example fix

// before
_ = agent.DeleteSession(ctx, "abc123") // guessed ID
// after
sessions, _ := agent.ListSessions(ctx)
for _, s := range sessions {
    if s.ID == wantID {
        if err := agent.DeleteSession(ctx, wantID); err != nil {
            if !strings.Contains(err.Error(), "session not found") { return err }
        }
    }
}

sessions, err := agent.ListSessions(ctx)
if err != nil { return err }
found := false
for _, s := range sessions { if s.ID == sessionID { found = true } }
if !found { return nil } // nothing to delete

if err := agent.DeleteSession(ctx, id); err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "session not found") {
        return nil // idempotent delete
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling DeleteSession(ctx, sessionID) with an ID that does not match any on-disk kimi session directory — already deleted, wrong ID format, or the session belongs to a different workDir/user.

Common situations: User issues /delete with a stale or mistyped session ID from chat; session was removed by kimi CLI cleanup; sessions stored under another user's HOME because the daemon runs as a different user.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
