Release Notes
2026-07-30 - Unconditional autopilot approval now disables sandbox for the current session when bypass is allowed - Ctrl+G opens your editor to edit askuser freeform answers without closing the prompt - Add a browser-based (web) OAuth login flow, now the default for copilot login on local interactive terminals (device code remains the default on remote/headless terminals). Use --web-flow/--device-code to force a mode, or pick one in the interactive /login command - Support enforcing managed sandbox policy via macOS and Windows native MDM settings - Allow reasoning effort to be omitted so the server can select the default
