Copilot CLI 1.0.28: Submodule Fixes & UX Polish
Copilot CLI 1.0.28 fixes submodule path issues, simplifies rewind picker navigation, and adds environment variable control for terminal title updates.
TL;DR
- Permission prompts now show correct paths in git submodules
- Rewind picker simplified to arrow keys + Enter (no more 1-9 shortcuts)
- Azure resource IDs no longer trigger false security warnings
- New COPILOT_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE env var to opt out of title updates
New
- COPILOT_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE environment variable — opt out of terminal title updates if your setup conflicts with it
- Remote control session resume — connect to CLI remote sessions directly from the resume picker
- MCP migration documentation links — migration hints now point to platform-specific docs instead of embedding shell commands inline
Fixed
- Permission prompts display correct repository paths when working inside git submodules
- Background agent completion notifications no longer sent redundantly when read_agent is already waiting
- Azure resource IDs no longer trigger false path security warnings during az CLI commands
- Editor launch failures now show clear error messages instead of silent failures
- Mascot blink animation on startup simplified (was blinking continuously, now plays short sequence)
Changed
- Rewind picker navigation simplified to arrow keys and Enter, removing the 1-9 quick-select shortcut
