+## 1.0.71 - 2026-07-16
+
+- `copilot -p --autopilot` no longer hangs when a background shell or agent outlives the turn; it now honors the COPILOT_TASK_WAIT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS timeout the same way plain `-p` does.
+- Reopening the /subagents model picker keeps each agent's reasoning effort and context tier
+- Refresh memory context after 30 minutes in long-lived sessions
+- Keep MCP tool lists up to date when servers change
+- Avoid leaving long-running background git processes after exit
+- Add a configurable maximum for Ctrl+R command history
+- On startup, an invalid settings.json now shows a warning identifying the offending value instead of silently ignoring your settings
+- /terminal-setup no longer skips setup on terminals without real kitty keyboard support
+- Add /voice devices to choose and persist the microphone for voice mode
+- Limit which built-in agents are available to tasks and subagents
+- Add canvas support in the CLI for extension-driven interactions
+- Enforce the sandbox filesystem policy on LSP file reads and rename edits
+- Allow empty owner and author emails in marketplace metadata
+- Keep all MCP Server Type options visible on short terminals
+- Mark disabled skills in `copilot skill list` and its JSON output
+- Plan mode now hard-blocks built-in tool calls that would modify the workspace, so the agent can no longer edit files or run mutating shell commands while planning (built-in mutators like opening a pull request are blocked; MCP and external tools are still allowed)
+- Improve /chronicle cost-tips recommendations with richer cost profiles
+- Highlight standalone hex colors inline in Markdown
+- Persist GitHub MCP toolset/tool config via settings.json (githubMcpToolsets, githubMcpTools, etc.)
+- Add `plugins marketplace` subcommands to list, add, and remove plugin marketplaces
+- Persist sidebar sessions across restarts
+- Add plugins marketplace browse and update commands
+- Split /worktree and /move: /worktree now creates a new worktree and leaves your uncommitted changes behind, while the new /move carries them into the new worktree
+- Add local and cloud cost profiles to /chronicle cost-tips
+- Switching to autopilot mid-turn now auto-answers questions asked during that same turn
+- Custom agents that request a shell tool by alias now also receive the matching read, list, and stop shell tools
+- Slash commands and their autocomplete now match regardless of case (e.g. /SESSION works like /session)
+- Show repo-enabled plugins in /plugin list and skill pickers
+- Press ? twice to dismiss quick help and start a prompt with a literal ?
+- Shell completions suggest positional-argument choices
+- Show the /app launch message and download link immediately on Linux
+- Validate --max-autopilot-continues rejects NaN, negative, and fractional values
+- Honor NO_COLOR in the CLI even when chalk cached a color level
+- Apply updated session options (shell flags, streaming, custom agent defaults) immediately after /settings changes
+- Announce the focused /model row for screen readers
+- Announce the focused picker row to screen readers
+- Show selected custom agents once in /agent and keep their source label when the file name differs from the display name
+- Clear the /model pricing banner when no models match
+- Keep /share file session and /share html session from using the full-session selector as an output path
+- Honor --context in fresh interactive sessions
+- Fixed the model picker changing a hidden model's reasoning effort or context window when the search matched no results, and hid the inert key hints shown in that empty state
+- Display plugin root skills as /plugin instead of /plugin:plugin
+- Keep valid hooks in a config file when one hook entry is malformed
+- Denying write(path) now blocks only the specified path
+- Using --add-github-mcp-tool "\*" now enables all GitHub MCP tools
+- Render empty untracked files without a phantom added line
+- Show clean failure messages when copilot skill add fails
+- Press Enter on a blank settings array item to show an error instead of saving an empty value
+- Press Enter once to toggle booleans with a registered default in /settings
+- Declining folder trust in /cwd keeps your live session open and returns to the previous folder
+- Show a warning when a workspace MCP config is malformed or cannot be loaded
+- Make bare `copilot mcp` and `copilot skill` print help and exit 0, matching `copilot plugin`. Consistent with `plugin`, the implicit `help <subcommand>` form is not supported for these groups; use `copilot mcp <subcommand> --help` (or `copilot skill <subcommand> --help`) instead.
+- Show malformed allowed_models.txt policy errors cleanly in -p mode
+- Resume synced sessions by name without a false multiple matches error
+- Show an error when --name is used with --session-id for an existing session
+- Show --plugin-dir plugins in copilot plugin list
+- Keep backgrounded sessions alive when you switch away from them
+- Link bare #number GitHub refs in -p --stream off output
+- Show the startup banner only on the first launch when set to once
+- Allow `copilot update` and `/update` to accept `stable` as a channel
+- Surface --plugin-dir warnings in the terminal
+- Surface the real load error for malformed custom agents
+- Reject --continue when used with --resume
+- Prompt mode now exits non-zero when a `--share` or `--share-gist` export fails
+- Server mode reconnects OAuth MCP servers from cached tokens
+- Keep stored Git credential helpers available for marketplace plugin installs
+- The /model picker shows the Auto model description as markdown with a clickable Learn More link
+- Keep sessions tied to their working directory across prompts, restarts, and workspace tools
+- Always offer a custom answer in ask_user choice prompts
+- Lower the default maximum sub-agent nesting depth from 6 to 4 to curb runaway recursive sub-agent delegation. Usage-based billing users can still adjust `subagents.maxDepth` (up to 128).
+- Add a pinned prompts setting in /settings to control prompt pinning
+- Add Repo and Repo (local) scope tabs to the /settings dashboard
+- Interactive shell commands now fail with a retryable "reconfiguring" message instead of an "unknown shellManager handle" error after the shell manager is disposed, and a detached command's completion notification is no longer lost when the shell context is reconfigured while a read is in progress
+- Reject custom-agent names that would create hidden files
+- Reject malformed --allow-tool and --deny-tool patterns with an error message
+- Show retained shell output in /tasks Shell Details for finished tasks
+- Remove duplicate Error: prefixes from plugin command failures
+- Shell completions stop suggesting subcommands as flag values
+- Show singular message counts in /usage activity graph
+- Keep /cd from switching to files or inaccessible directories
+- Dismissing the quick-help overlay with ? no longer leaves a stray ? in the prompt
+- --sandbox and --no-sandbox now show their "ignored" warning during interactive startup when the sandbox feature is unavailable (previously it was only visible in non-interactive mode)
+- Show the full command with its arguments (not just the wrapper) in the /mcp server detail view
+- Hide the inert navigate and view-log hints in the empty /lsp logs (LSP Services) panel
+- Exit non-interactive prompt runs with a failure code when a prompt is blocked before responding
+- Show the Auto discount in the redesigned inline model picker
+- New sessions start in the default directory instead of the active session's cwd
+- Fish completion only offers enum values for closed-choice flags
+- Use targeted validation commands and lighter install guidance by default
+- Use ctrl+x → x to close a session and ctrl+x → h to hide the split sidebar
