Copilot CLI v1.0.11: MCP Policy & Monorepo Support

TL;DR

• Organization MCP server policies now enforced for all users
• Full monorepo support — custom instructions and agents discovered at every directory level
• Session management overhauled: /clear abandons sessions, /new keeps old ones backgrounded
• MCP OAuth now works with non-standard authorization metadata URLs

New

• Monorepo discovery — Custom instructions, MCP servers, skills, and agents are discovered at every directory level from working directory up to git root.
• MCP policy enforcement — Organization policies for third-party MCP servers now enforced for all users; warnings shown when servers are blocked by allowlist.
• Personal skills directory — ~/.agents/skills/ added as default skill discovery location, matching VS Code GHCP4A extension behavior.
• Extension hook merging — Hooks from multiple extensions now merge instead of overwriting; sessionStart hook additionalContext injected into conversation.
• Session-scoped working directory — /cd maintains separate working directory per session, restored when switching sessions.
• MCP OAuth improvements — OAuth now works with servers supporting Dynamic Client Registration but hosting authorization metadata at non-standard URLs (e.g., Atlassian Rovo).
• Session commands enhanced — /new and /clear accept optional prompt to start with first message; /clear abandons session entirely while /new keeps old session backgrounded.
• Agent progress visibility — Background agent progress (current intent and tool calls) surfaces in read_agent and task timeout responses.
• Model picker fixes — Models now display correctly in picker with names shown where possible.
• Terminal suspend/resume — Screen redraws correctly after Ctrl+Z and fg commands.
• GitHub MCP remote config — User configuration respected when connecting to remote hosts.
• statusLine.command expansion — Path now supports ~ and environment variables (e.g., $HOME, ${VAR:-default}).
• Startup logging — 'Environment loaded' message now shows number of loaded hooks.
