Copilot CLI v1.0.3-0: Environment Vars & Terminal Setup

TL;DR

• Environment variable documentation now in help (GH_HOST, HTTP_PROXY, NO_COLOR, etc.)
• Windows Terminal support added to /terminal-setup command
• Fixed /reset-allowed-tools, Ubuntu keyring hangs, and MCP server compatibility issues

New

• Environment variable docs in help — GH_HOST, HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_COLOR, and NO_PROXY now documented directly in CLI help.
• --binary-version flag — Query CLI binary version without launching the full CLI.
• Background task notifications in timeline — Notifications now display with expandable detail for better visibility.
• 'quit' command — Exit the CLI with 'quit' in addition to 'exit'.
• Windows Terminal support — /terminal-setup command now supports Windows Terminal.

Improved

• Retry status messages — Progress now displays during server error recovery.
• Diff mode loading spinner — Visual feedback while fetching changes.
• Frontmatter warnings suppressed — Unknown field warnings no longer appear in skill and command frontmatter.

Fixed

• /reset-allowed-tools — Now fully undoes /allow-all and re-triggers the autopilot permission dialog.
• Ubuntu keyring hang — Login flow no longer hangs when system keyring is unresponsive.
• Terminal reset on crash — Terminal properly resets when CLI crashes unexpectedly.
• Screen reader table borders — Table borders disabled in screen reader mode to prevent announcing decorative characters.
• MCP server compatibility — Servers with non-conforming outputSchema are now accessible.
• /plugin update — Now works for GitHub-installed plugins and with marketplaces defined in project settings.
• /add-dir persistence — Directories now persist across session changes like /clear and /resume.
• env command approval — Prevented from being treated as safe to allow without approval.
