npm @github/copilot 1.0.78-0

4 hours ago

Added

  • Add /permissions to switch between approval modes.
  • ACP mode supports closing sessions with the closeSession request.

Improved

  • New sandbox setting allowDevToolCaches (on by default): grants sandboxed builds access to toolchain caches, registries, and installs so builds work without extra setup. Set false to opt out.
  • Honor explicit GitHub MCP toolset/tool config: keep gh-overlap tools and stop steering to the gh CLI when you opt in
  • Warn on startup about unknown top-level keys in user settings.json (e.g. a misspelled setting) instead of silently ignoring them
  • Shell completion for --model now suggests auto and supported model names
  • Render long session transcripts progressively to keep scrolling responsive
  • Resuming a long session is dramatically faster and far lighter on memory, because its history is now read once at startup (in parallel, across CPU cores) instead of being re-read in full for every check the CLI runs before it can paint. In our benchmark a 230MB, 74k-event transcript came back in well under a second instead of about ten, at roughly a quarter of the peak memory; the exact gain depends on your machine's core count and disk

Fixed

  • Ctrl+Q now enqueues the highlighted mid-text skill completion instead of the partial token
  • Switching sessions no longer restarts MCP servers or rebuilds hook state, so a turn running in another session is never halted with a stale-hook error
  • Refresh deferred MCP tools after OAuth authentication

Removed

  • The /allow-all auto safety-judge model is no longer user-configurable; the judge model is now selected automatically.
