Added

  • Show /rubber-duck in pre-auth help and self-documentation

  • Prevent copilot init from hanging in non-interactive mode

@copilot-cli-release-app copilot-cli-release-app released this 04 Jul 23:38

Added

  • Add /mcp list to show attached MCP servers and their status, and allow /mcp list and /plugin list to run while the agent is working
  • Allow opening the /mcp manager while the agent is working to enable or disable servers mid-turn; add, edit, delete, and re-auth stay paused until the turn finishes
  • Add auto allow-all mode that auto-approves requests an LLM judge evaluates as acceptable
  • Add a stayInAutopilot setting (default false) that keeps the CLI in autopilot mode after an autopilot task completes

Improved

  • Browse and filter models more easily in the CLI model picker
  • Resume sessions faster by removing quadratic work when rebuilding the timeline
  • Warn when static context uses most of the prompt budget and block requests when little conversation room remains
  • Improve CLI responsiveness when reading and writing session databases
  • Improve slash-command and theme picker option descriptions

Fixed

  • Pinned prompts keep their full frame aligned while scrolling
  • Suppress macOS pasteboard stderr during clipboard reads and writes
  • Keep colons intact in rendered markdown output
  • Warn when multiple plugins define the same MCP server
  • Collect debug logs without truncating large files or dropping multiline secrets
  • Find PRs from worktree branches when the local branch name differs from the PR head ref
  • Skip the autopilot permission prompt when bypass mode is disabled by policy
  • Allow WSL UNC paths for local files in the CLI
  • Apply --reasoning-effort reliably when the CLI starts
  • Keep slash-command picker rows intact in tab-expanding terminals
  • Keep model switches working when tool call IDs include punctuation
  • Double-press Esc now interrupts the running main turn (flushing queued messages), or stops background agents when the main agent is idle
  • Prevent benign Windows crash reports when the CLI exits
  • Wrap clipboard writes in tmux passthrough so copy reaches the outer terminal
  • OAuth-gated MCP servers now register their tools after reconnect
  • Keep CLI authentication working in one-shot sessions
  • Ctrl+C dismisses ask_user and elicitation prompts like Escape
  • Show Authenticate for cancelled MCP OAuth requests
  • Keep /help from listing rewind/undo twice
  • Keep MCP servers in needs-auth after OAuth cancellation
  • Hide staff-only commands from pre-auth help and self-documentation
  • Surface skill loading errors and warnings in skill list

Removed

Added

  • Add file and folder completion to /sandbox path entries

Fixed

  • Update a backgrounded session's branch label in the Sessions split view when its working directory changes
  • Skip unnecessary MCP reloads when returning to an already-loaded session

@copilot-cli-release-app copilot-cli-release-app released this 30 Jun 22:18

2026-06-30

  • Hide excluded built-in agents from agent selection
  • BYOK sessions using Anthropic models no longer hit HTTP 400 errors from adaptive-thinking mismatches — neither from injecting adaptive thinking on models that don't support it, nor from sending standard thinking to models that require adaptive. Thinking-mode selection for dual-mode models is unchanged.

  • Add toggle to enable or disable MCP servers in the CLI from MCP list view
  • Add experimental response limits controls to CLI settings
  • Let managed settings configure OpenTelemetry export
  • MCP tools on OAuth-authenticated remote servers now recover automatically after a mid-session token expiry, matching the existing OIDC retry behaviour. A 401 during a tool call triggers a non-interactive reconnect, and servers needing interactive re-auth are retried at the start of the next turn.
  • Add persisted dynamicRetrieval setting (and --dynamic-retrieval skills=<on|off> flag) to enable or disable embeddings-based retrieval of skills
  • Let custom agents set reasoning effort in their definitions
  • Pass a task to /worktree (e.g. 'fix the login redirect') to name the branch for that task and run the sentence as the first prompt in the new worktree
  • Added runtime telemetry for the MCP host token-injection OAuth flow, recording when an OAuth broadcast is emitted to the host and how the host responds (token or cancelled) with response latency
  • Show merge status for each pull request in the Pull requests tab, and refresh the cached statuses on demand by pressing r

  • Use the full terminal height in full-screen views
  • Use clearer icons for shell and search timeline entries
  • Match the terminal text color to the GitHub theme canvas
  • Show the active agent mode in the working footer text
  • /worktree keeps a valid branch name exactly as typed, e.g. feature/JIRA-123, instead of flattening it to a slug like feature-jira-123
