Copilot CLI v0.0.411-0: Alt-Screen & SDK APIs

TL;DR

  • Alt-screen mode now supports text selection in footer area
  • New SDK APIs for plan mode, autopilot, fleet, and workspace files
  • Windows shell commands, memory usage, and terminal bell behavior all improved

New

  • Text selection in footer area — Alt-screen mode now lets you select text in the footer, fixing a long-standing UX gap.
  • Alt-screen syntax options — Use --alt-screen on and --alt-screen off for explicit control instead of toggle-only behavior.
  • SDK APIs — New APIs for plan mode, autopilot, fleet, and workspace files give integrators more programmatic control.

Fixed

  • Interactive shell commands now complete reliably on all Windows versions — no more hanging on older builds.
  • Memory usage in alt-screen mode during long sessions has been reduced, making extended use less resource-heavy.
  • Terminal bell now rings once when the agent finishes instead of on every tool completion — less noise, clearer signal.
  • Text selection responsiveness in alt-screen mode improved for snappier interaction.
