Release Notes

Agents Agent host The agent host lets you connect to the same agent session from multiple VS Code windows. It runs agent harnesses such as Copilot, Claude, and Codex in a dedicated process based on the Agent Host Protocol (AHP). The agent host's Copilot agent is powered by the Copilot SDK, which aligns its behavior and functionality with the Copilot CLI, the standalone GitHub Copilot app, and other Copilot products. We're actively developing the agent host and progressively rolling it out... Agents window The Agents window gives you a dedicated space to start and monitor multiple agent sessions. Track session activity from the chat input When an agent works across files, subagents, previews, and browsers, you can use live status pills above the chat input to follow its progress and quickly return to related work. The pills update with the activity for the session you are viewing: Changes summarizes the number of changes. Select it to view the changes for the current turn in a multi-file diff that upda... Side chats with /btw When you want to ask a question without interrupting the current turn, you can open a side chat by typing /btw in the chat input. The side chat shares the context and prompt cache of your primary chat, so you can ask questions about the current turn. Similarly, you can select text in a chat response to ask contextual questions about that response. You can also share context by referencing chats in other chats, either by dragging the chat tabs into the input box, or typing chat: and then picking the title of the chat to include. Chat Terminal output reflow Expanded terminal output in Chat reflows to the available width as the view is resized. Previously, output used a fixed width, which caused lines to wrap too early and left unused space in wider views. This improvement applies to terminal output from both the Local agent harness and the Copilot harness running on the agent host.
