Highlights

GHCP workspace MCP fixed (#164, closes #163): GitHub Copilot CLI workspace MCP config is now written to root .mcp.json using the Copilot-compatible { "mcpServers": ... } schema with tools: ["*"], instead of .vscode/mcp.json. Azure MCP now loads correctly in Copilot CLI workspaces.
Chat passthrough no longer drops startup context (#165): chat preserves the generated Azure Functions startup/setup context when forwarding passthrough args, adds chat --dry-run to preview the resolved agent launch without spawning or mutating state, and aligns GHCP plugin activation with the local layout (uses AGENTS.md + .github/agents/functions-copilot.agent.md; no longer generates .github/copilot-instructions.md).
Safer workspace updates (#165): customer-owned routing/TOML files are saved aside by default (overridable with --force), while JSON settings (.mcp.json, .claude/settings.json) are deep-merged so custom MCP servers and user settings are preserved across install -> update cycles in both local and plugin modes.
Setup guidance is now cross-platform and current (#162): azure-functions-setup fix instructions cover Windows / macOS / Linux instead of Linux-only commands, and recommend the latest GA runtimes (Node.js 24, Python 3.13). New setup eval coverage guards against cross-platform and stale-runtime regressions.

Eval grader fix (#160): command-based tool-call graders now restrict regex checks to bash, powershell, and run, excluding read_bash which lacks a command arg. Fixes the live deploy eval grader failure.
Workflow cleanup (#161): renamed CI workflows to clearer, purpose-oriented names (Build and Test, Skill Evaluation - Offline, Skill Evaluation - Azure Live Deploy, Cleanup Azure Live Eval Resources) and removed obsolete workflows (Nightly E2E, Live Azure Login Smoke).
Release prep (#168): bump package to 0.0.5-preview, regenerate plugin payload and marketplace manifests, refresh release helper docs.
