iFlow CLI replaced by Qoder CLI in Code Tools	removed	notice		2026-06-17

What changed

The iFlow CLI option was removed from Code Tools, and a new Qoder CLI option was added in its place. iFlow CLI was officially discontinued upstream (service shut down on 2026-04-17), with Qoder as the vendor's recommended migration target.

Why this matters to the user

Users who previously selected iFlow CLI will no longer find it in the Code Tools CLI list, and its per-tool settings (model, environment variables, directories) are no longer shown. Qoder CLI appears as a new choice. Like GitHub Copilot CLI, Qoder CLI authenticates with its own Qoder account (via /login) instead of a Cherry Studio provider/model, so it does not require selecting a provider or model.

What the user should do

Switch to Qoder CLI or another supported Code CLI. iFlow CLI is discontinued upstream and can no longer be used regardless of this change — nothing else to do.

Notes for release manager

• iFlow CLI npm package @iflow-ai/iflow-cli reached EOL 2026-04-17; the vendor's official migration path is Qoder.
• Qoder CLI integration installs npm @qodercn-ai/qoderclicn (CN edition) and runs qoderclicn.
• Qoder ships an ESM bundle that Bun cannot execute, so Cherry Studio launches it directly via its #!/usr/bin/env node shebang. Qoder CLI therefore requires Node.js (>=20) on the user's PATH, unlike the other CLIs that run on Cherry Studio's bundled Bun.
