2026-04-14 - Escape key reliably dismisses askuser and elicitation prompts without getting stuck - Spurious directory access prompts no longer appear for arguments inside find -exec blocks - Agent sessions no longer fail with unrecoverable errors when context compaction splits a tool call across a checkpoint boundary - Single-segment slash-prefixed tokens (e.g. /help, /start) no longer treated as file paths in bash commands - Anthropic BYOM correctly includes image data when viewing image files - Permission prompt notification hook only fires when a prompt is actually shown to the user - ctrl+o now expands all timeline entries, same as ctrl+e - Remote tab correctly shows Copilot coding agent tasks and supports steering without requiring a pull request - Rename "steering" to "remote control" in --remote flag and /remote command help text - Avoid sending duplicate custom instruction files (e.g. copilot-instructions.md and CLAUDE.md with identical content) to reduce wasted tokens per turn - Plugin hooks receive PLUGINROOT, COPILOTPLUGINROOT, and CLAUDEPLUGINROOT env vars with the plugin's installation directory - ACP server binds to localhost only, preventing unintended network exposure - Installing a plugin named 'git' from a marketplace no longer fails due to incorrect URL parsing - Enterprise login accepts hostnames without a URL scheme (e.g. 'github.example.com') - LSP language servers correctly initialize on Windows using proper file URI paths - Relative paths in file edit operations resolve against the session working directory - Session scope selector in sync prompt is now more prominent and keyboard-navigable with left/right arrow keys - Instruction files with specific applyTo patterns are consolidated into a table instead of inlining full content, reducing context window usage
