Copilot CLI v0.0.419: Session History & MCP Improvements

TL;DR

• New /chronicle command pulls standup and tips from session history (experimental)
• Keyboard and mouse controls overhauled — Ctrl+F/B for scrolling, Home/End for buffer jumps, --no-mouse flag added
• MCP servers now support npm-style names and auto-include referenced env vars

New

• /chronicle command — Experimental feature that generates standup summaries and tips from your session history.
• Keyboard shortcuts for scrolling — Ctrl+F and Ctrl+B now page down/up in alt-screen views; Home and End jump to buffer edges.
• --mouse/--no-mouse flag — Disable mouse mode in alt-screen with a config option or CLI flag.
• Ctrl+G for external editor — Edit prompts in your external editor and dismiss UI elements with a single shortcut.
• MCP npm-style names — Server names now support dots, slashes, and @ characters (e.g., @modelcontextprotocol/server).
• MCP env var auto-inclusion — Environment variables referenced in command, args, or cwd fields are automatically passed to the server.
• /mcp enable for built-in servers — Re-enable built-in servers that were auto-disabled before configuration.
• AUTO theme ANSI palette — Uses your terminal's actual color palette for accurate rendering on any theme.

Fixed

• Scrolling left or right no longer triggers unintended mouse button presses.
• CLI spinner now stops and final agent response displays immediately after agent finishes work.
• /diagnose shows a helpful message when no session has been started yet.
