Added

  • Experimental: /mcp search command to search and install MCP servers from registry
  • Experimental: Tool search with deferred loading for MCP and external tools
  • Add "None" reasoning effort option to disable model reasoning in the reasoning effort picker
  • Add COPILOT_PLUGIN_DIR_ONLY environment variable to disable automatic plugin discovery, enabling deterministic plugin sets when using --plugin-dir

Improved

  • Memory permission prompts now name who can see a stored memory: user scope or the specific owner/repo for repository scope. Timeline entries also show the scope ((for user) / (shared with repository collaborators)).
  • Reduce PowerShell syntax errors on Windows by avoiding && chaining instructions when using legacy PowerShell 5.x

Fixed

  • Copying text from the scroll view joins soft-wrapped lines without extra newlines or indentation
  • Cursor positioning in input fields works correctly with wide characters (CJK, emoji)
  • Hooks (preToolUse, postToolUse, subagentStart, subagentStop) now fire correctly for sub-agent tool calls
  • Plugins loaded via --plugin-dir now correctly register their agents as available task(agent_type=...) subagents in prompt mode
  • Memory storage correctly limits available scopes when no repository context is present
  • --plugin-dir and --additional-mcp-config now work in --server / --headless mode
  • Content-filtered model responses now display an explanation instead of a blank assistant turn
  • PromptFrame UI now renders inside tmux when the outer terminal is ghostty, WezTerm, or kitty (detected via tmux list-clients).
  • MCP OAuth token lookups are correctly scoped to the active session
