Kimi will, seemingly at random, misspell the directory of a project its working on - and proceed to continue misspelling it for the duration of a session.

Reproduction steps: zero clue. For me, it can happen at any time.

My setup:
Opencode V1.2.5
Windows 10 Pro
Using Kimi K2.5 Via Allegretto Coding Plan Sub, API Key

Temporarily switching to a different model broke this deadlock.

Some digging around suggests issues with tokenization (Craft Architect becomes Craft-arch-itect, and the middle gets cut out)
