kagent v1.0 Can Run Claude Code as a Managed Kubernetes Agent

kagent v1.0.0-alpha1 is out, the first release of the 1.0 branch after nine months on 0.x. Instead of Kubernetes Deployment, agents are now described by an AgentInstance object with a gRPC lifecycle, and CLI Claude Code and Codex can be run as harnesses with checkpoints, forks, and suspension.

• AgentInstance replaces Deployment: idempotent gRPC lifecycle with READY, SUSPENDED, ABORTED states
• Checkpoints and conversation forks: snapshot saves turn boundary, fork copies its identity
• Resume from golden snapshot gVisor instead of cold OCI start: Claude first output 1282 ms vs 1068 ms
• Claude Code and Codex run as harnesses via A2A with streaming, cancellation, and session resumption
