Copilot CLI v1.0.52-4: Autopilot Fixes & Session Context

TL;DR

  • Autopilot mode no longer triggers unexpected permission prompts
  • Sessions now resume in their saved working directory with correct git context
  • Kill command safety filter fixed to allow shell redirection syntax
  • Added vertical scrollbar with mouse drag to conversation view

New

  • Vertical scrollbar with mouse drag — Main conversation view now supports dragging the scrollbar for easier navigation in long sessions

Fixed

  • Autopilot permission prompts — Switching to Autopilot mode no longer triggers unexpected permission requests for tool, path, or URL access
  • Session directory contextcopilot --continue from a saved session now refreshes the saved branch and git context instead of leaving them stale
  • Kill command safety filter — Filter no longer rejects valid commands containing shell redirection like kill -0 <PID> 2>/dev/null
  • Session working directory — Sessions resume in their saved working directory; pass -C to override. Flags with relative paths (e.g. --attachment, --log-dir) now resolve from the saved cwd

Update: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@1.0.52-4
