@github/copilot 1.0.71-1

on Node.js NPM

Added

• 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

Improved

• 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).

Fixed

• 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 <subcommand> form is not supported for these groups; use copilot mcp <subcommand> --help (or copilot skill <subcommand> --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
• Show --plugin-dir plugins in copilot plugin list
• Keep backgrounded sessions alive when you switch away from them
• Link bare #number GitHub refs in -p --stream off output
• Show the startup banner only on the first launch when set to once
• Allow copilot update and /update to accept stable as a channel
• Surface --plugin-dir warnings in the terminal
• Surface the real load error for malformed custom agents
• Reject --continue when used with --resume
• Prompt mode now exits non-zero when a --share or --share-gist export fails
• Server mode reconnects OAuth MCP servers from cached tokens
• Keep stored Git credential helpers available for marketplace plugin installs
