New
- Expanded
--helpcontent — Descriptions, examples, and sorted flags make CLI discovery less painful. - MCP policy enforcement — Third-party Model Context Protocol servers are now blocked when your Copilot MCP policy doesn't allow them.
- Live streaming response counter — Response size counter updates continuously during tool calls and reasoning, then resets between requests so you see actual progress.
- Adaptive status line layout — Automatically switches to two-line format on narrow terminals, keeping CWD, branch, and model info readable at any width.
Breaking Changes
- Undo confirmation required — Undo operations now always require confirmation to prevent accidental reversions.
