Copilot CLI v1.0.19-0: Session & Plugin Fixes
Copilot CLI 1.0.19-0 fixes session conflicts, improves timeline visibility, and resolves macOS plugin permissions and custom agent restoration issues.
TL;DR
- IDE auto-connect now skips when session is already active elsewhere
- Slash command timeline entries now show command names for clarity
- Plugin hooks with missing execute permissions now work on macOS
- Custom agents properly restore when resuming sessions
Improved
- IDE auto-connect skip — No longer attempts to reconnect when your session is already in use by another client, reducing connection conflicts.
- Slash command timeline context — Timeline entries now display command names (e.g., "Review", "Plan") alongside entries for better visibility into what you ran.
Fixed
- Plugin hook permissions on macOS — Plugin hook scripts missing execute permissions now run correctly instead of failing silently.
- Custom agent restoration — Custom agents properly restore when resuming a session where the agent display name differs from its filename.
Update with: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@latest
