Copilot CLI v0.0.422-0: Hooks, Plugins & Metrics

TL;DR

• Personal hooks now load from ~/.copilot/hooks alongside repo-level hooks
• Automatic plugin installation via enabledPlugins config
• Session metrics (requests, tokens, code changes) persisted to events.jsonl
• Config file renamed from .github/copilot/config.json to settings.json — update your repos

New

• Personal hooks from ~/.copilot/hooks — Load custom hooks globally without duplicating them across repos
• enabledPlugins config — Plugins install automatically at startup instead of manual setup
• Session usage metrics — Requests, tokens, and code changes logged to events.jsonl after each session

Improved

• Git error messaging — Clear, actionable error when git isn't installed and you use remote plugins or marketplace
• Alt-screen link rendering — Links now underlined for better visibility
• /delegate prompt — Now prompts for target remote in multi-remote repos with clearer confirmation text
• Timeline noise reduction — Hide todo bookkeeping queries, show dependency details instead
• Config setting rename — launch_messages is now companyAnnouncements
• External editor feedback — Show waiting message when terminal hands off to external editor
• Repository config rename — .github/copilot/config.json is now settings.json

Fixed

• Plugin cache corruption — Auto-recovers from corrupted or incomplete clones without manual intervention
• Windows URL handling — Links with & query parameters now open correctly
• Markdown table code rendering — Colons in inline code render properly inside tables
• Ctrl+K line joining — Now matches standard Emacs/terminal behavior when cursor is at end of line

Breaking Changes

• Repository config location — Rename .github/copilot/config.json to settings.json in your repos
• Config setting name — Update launch_messages to companyAnnouncements in your config
