Copilot CLI Updates & Release Notes

Added

• Add --plugin, --mcp, and --skill flags for plugin mutations
• Add skill removal support to copilot plugins remove --skill

Improved

• Reveal full file paths when expanding compact editing rows
• Make the plan-approval menu deterministic across models
• Keep /add-dir directories visible in the agent context across turns

Fixed

• Wrap ask-user and elicitation inputs in the split-pane chat view
• Modified vim keys (Ctrl+K, uppercase J/K) no longer move the selection in tool-permission prompts and other text-input select menus; only unmodified j/k, the arrow keys, and Ctrl+P/Ctrl+N navigate.
• /terminal-setup now refuses to modify a VS Code keybindings.json that contains a JSON syntax error (instead of rewriting it and reporting success), matching its documented invalid-JSON handling.

copilot -p --autopilot no longer hangs when a background shell or agent outlives the turn; it now honors the COPILOT_TASK_WAIT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS timeout the same way plain -p does.

Reopening the /subagents model picker keeps each agent's reasoning effort and context tier

Refresh memory context after 30 minutes in long-lived sessions

Keep MCP tool lists up to date when servers change

Avoid leaving long-running background git processes after exit

Add a configurable maximum for Ctrl+R command history

On startup, an invalid settings.json now shows a warning identifying the offending value instead of silently ignoring your settings

/terminal-setup no longer skips setup on terminals without real kitty keyboard support

Add /voice devices to choose and persist the microphone for voice mode

Limit which built-in agents are available to tasks and subagents

Add canvas support in the CLI for extension-driven interactions

Enforce the sandbox filesystem policy on LSP file reads and rename edits

Allow empty owner and author emails in marketplace metadata

Keep all MCP Server Type options visible on short terminals

Mark disabled skills in copilot skill list and its JSON output

Plan mode now hard-blocks built-in tool calls that would modify the workspace, so the agent can no longer edit files or run mutating shell commands while planning (built-in mutators like opening a pull request are blocked; MCP and external tools are still allowed)

Improve /chronicle cost-tips recommendations with richer cost profiles

Highlight standalone hex colors inline in Markdown

Persist GitHub MCP toolset/tool config via settings.json (githubMcpToolsets, githubMcpTools, etc.)

Add plugins marketplace subcommands to list, add, and remove plugin marketplaces

Persist sidebar sessions across restarts

Add plugins marketplace browse and update commands

Split /worktree and /move: /worktree now creates a new worktree and leaves your uncommitted changes behind, while the new /move carries them into the new worktree

Add local and cloud cost profiles to /chronicle cost-tips

Switching to autopilot mid-turn now auto-answers questions asked during that same turn

Custom agents that request a shell tool by alias now also receive the matching read, list, and stop shell tools

Slash commands and their autocomplete now match regardless of case (e.g. /SESSION works like /session)

Show repo-enabled plugins in /plugin list and skill pickers

Press ? twice to dismiss quick help and start a prompt with a literal ?

Shell completions suggest positional-argument choices

Show the /app launch message and download link immediately on Linux

Validate --max-autopilot-continues rejects NaN, negative, and fractional values

Honor NO_COLOR in the CLI even when chalk cached a color level

Apply updated session options (shell flags, streaming, custom agent defaults) immediately after /settings changes

Announce the focused /model row for screen readers

Announce the focused picker row to screen readers

Show selected custom agents once in /agent and keep their source label when the file name differs from the display name

Clear the /model pricing banner when no models match

Keep /share file session and /share html session from using the full-session selector as an output path

Honor --context in fresh interactive sessions

Fixed the model picker changing a hidden model's reasoning effort or context window when the search matched no results, and hid the inert key hints shown in that empty state

Display plugin root skills as /plugin instead of /plugin:plugin

Keep valid hooks in a config file when one hook entry is malformed

Denying write(path) now blocks only the specified path

Using --add-github-mcp-tool "*" now enables all GitHub MCP tools

Render empty untracked files without a phantom added line

Show clean failure messages when copilot skill add fails

Press Enter on a blank settings array item to show an error instead of saving an empty value

Press Enter once to toggle booleans with a registered default in /settings

Declining folder trust in /cwd keeps your live session open and returns to the previous folder

Show a warning when a workspace MCP config is malformed or cannot be loaded

Make bare copilot mcp and copilot skill print help and exit 0, matching copilot plugin. Consistent with plugin, the implicit help form is not supported for these groups; use copilot mcp --help (or copilot skill --help) instead.

Show malformed allowed_models.txt policy errors cleanly in -p mode

Resume synced sessions by name without a false multiple matches error

Show an error when --name is used with --session-id for an existing session

Server mode reconnects OAuth MCP servers from cached tokens

Keep stored Git credential helpers available for marketplace plugin installs

The /model picker shows the Auto model description as markdown with a clickable Learn More link

Keep sessions tied to their working directory across prompts, restarts, and workspace tools

Always offer a custom answer in ask_user choice prompts

Lower the default maximum sub-agent nesting depth from 6 to 4 to curb runaway recursive sub-agent delegation. Usage-based billing users can still adjust subagents.maxDepth (up to 128).

Add a pinned prompts setting in /settings to control prompt pinning

Add Repo and Repo (local) scope tabs to the /settings dashboard

Interactive shell commands now fail with a retryable "reconfiguring" message instead of an "unknown shellManager handle" error after the shell manager is disposed, and a detached command's completion notification is no longer lost when the shell context is reconfigured while a read is in progress

Reject custom-agent names that would create hidden files

Reject malformed --allow-tool and --deny-tool patterns with an error message

Show retained shell output in /tasks Shell Details for finished tasks

Remove duplicate Error: prefixes from plugin command failures

Shell completions stop suggesting subcommands as flag values

Show singular message counts in /usage activity graph

Keep /cd from switching to files or inaccessible directories

Dismissing the quick-help overlay with ? no longer leaves a stray ? in the prompt

--sandbox and --no-sandbox now show their "ignored" warning during interactive startup when the sandbox feature is unavailable (previously it was only visible in non-interactive mode)

Show the full command with its arguments (not just the wrapper) in the /mcp server detail view

Hide the inert navigate and view-log hints in the empty /lsp logs (LSP Services) panel

Exit non-interactive prompt runs with a failure code when a prompt is blocked before responding

Show the Auto discount in the redesigned inline model picker
