Added

  • Add structured form input for the ask_user tool using MCP Elicitations (experimental)
  • Add --plugin-dir flag to load a plugin from a local directory
  • Mouse text selection is automatically copied to the Linux primary selection buffer (middle-click to paste)

Improved

  • Autopilot permission dialog appears on first prompt submission instead of on mode switch
  • AUTO theme now reads your terminal's ANSI color palette and uses it directly, so colors match your terminal theme
  • Plugin commands read extraKnownMarketplaces from project-level .claude/settings.json for Claude compatibility
  • Use consistent ~/.copilot/pkg path for auto-update instead of XDG_STATE_HOME

Fixed

  • Git hooks can detect Copilot CLI subprocesses via the COPILOT_CLI=1 environment variable to skip interactive prompts
  • Spurious "write EIO" error entries no longer appear in the timeline during session resume or terminal state transitions
  • Python-based MCP servers no longer time out due to buffered stdout
  • MCP server availability correctly updates after signing in, switching accounts, or signing out
  • Fix VS Code shift+enter and ctrl+enter keybindings for multiline input
