Copilot Chat v0.42.2: Edit & Search Fixes

TL;DR

  • Fixed unwanted edits when fetch requests fail or are cancelled
  • Code search now works when only external ingest is available
  • Minor version bump with targeted stability improvements

Fixed

  • Edit handling on fetch errors — Copilot Chat no longer yields edits when network requests fail or are cancelled, preventing stale or partial changes from being applied.
  • Code search with external ingest — Code search is now properly enabled when only external ingest sources are available, fixing a regression that disabled it unnecessarily.

Update via VS Code extensions: search for "Copilot Chat" and click Update, or install directly from the GitHub release page.
