Prevent /mcp add and /mcp edit from overwriting an existing MCP server when its name is already in use
copilot -p now warns on stderr and in JSON output when it cannot start MCP servers, for example because the user's mcp-config.json cannot be parsed, instead of continuing without them silently

Search rows for grep and glob no longer count a postToolUse hook's additionalContext as results, so a search that matched nothing no longer reads 4 files found
The /settings dialog and /config no longer show streamerMode to accounts that cannot use /streamer-mode; an account whose settings already have it on still sees the row, so it can turn it off
Indexed search keeps reconnecting after occasional connection losses in long sessions instead of switching to ripgrep for the rest of the session

Plugin toggles now honor repository-controlled live plugin settings and consistently use the same marketplace source across listing and activation.
Show failed and cancelled compaction outcomes in the timeline, and explain memory-pressure compactions with restart and resume guidance.
/diff on a feature branch now lists committed files whose names have accented or other non-ASCII characters, a double quote, a backslash or a tab, instead of leaving them out of the file list.
copilot help network now quotes the certificate error Copilot reports for an untrusted proxy CA on Linux ("certificate verify failed", "unable to get local issuer certificate"), not a message it no longer produces
copilot help permissions no longer gives shell(gh pr create) as a rule example, which never matches; it now uses shell(gh pr) and explains that only the first subcommand is part of a command's name.

/cd, /cwd, and /add-dir select the exact directory name you type when siblings differ only by case or accents

Shell commands terminated by a signal report the correct exit status, such as 137 for SIGKILL or 139 for a segmentation fault
Show a confirmation when a model switch queued while the agent is working takes effect
Show the output size instead of an incorrect line count in Shell summaries when command output is too large to display
Footer context usage shows the same pre-request percentage as /context.
Plan quota and Copilot usage stay visible in the status line, /usage and the exit summary while a GitHub-hosted model is selected, even when providers.json configures a custom provider; they are hidden only while a model from that provider is selected
Prompt history is no longer hidden, and then erased by the next prompt, when the file that stores session mentions for past prompts is damaged or was written by a newer version
The ctrl+y footer hint no longer misses a plan written right after the session starts, and it keeps updating when the plan file cannot be watched

copilot mcp remove and /mcp remove now delete an mcp-config.json entry that is skipped as invalid instead of reporting that the server was not found
Resuming a session by ID or name with /resume now keeps the session you leave open in the background, so it still runs its sessionEnd hooks, records its shutdown and is listed when you exit
copilot -p and other CLI runs that exit within a minute now apply process-log retention, so old logs are removed after 7 days and beyond the newest 50 instead of piling up one per run
copilot plugin marketplace add ./name, ../name and ~/name now add the local marketplace directory instead of trying to clone a GitHub repository

copilot help '' prints the general help and exits successfully, just like copilot help.
A /compact with nothing to compact no longer leaves a stale "Compacting conversation history..." row in the timeline
