v1.0.14

What's new in v1.0.14

Highlights

• Added an /init slash command to generate or improve a repository's Copilot instructions file.
• You can now type & in the composer to mention and reference another session by name.
• The home screen now shows prompt cards with suggested tasks that fill the composer when clicked.
• Added /model and /models slash commands to open the model picker or select a model by name or ID.
• AI credit usage warnings now appear above the chat composer with a next step when you run low or out.

Added

• Added /clear and /reset slash commands to reset the current chat session transcript while staying in the same workspace or chat context.
• Added /model and /models slash commands to the prompt composer to open the model picker or select a model by name or ID.
• Added a /rename slash command to rename the current session or chat directly from the composer.
• Added a /chronicle reindex slash command to rebuild the Chronicle session index.
• Added a /init slash command to generate or improve a repository's Copilot instructions file.
• AI credit usage warnings now appear above the chat composer, with a plan-aware next step when you run low or run out.
• In the diff view, you can now open a file directly from its header, and right-click a file header to copy its file path or relative path, or open the file in a new tab or your browser.
• Session ID is now shown in the workspace and chat title popovers with a one-click copy button, making it easy to reference a session when working across multiple chats.
• The home screen now shows prompt cards below the composer with suggested tasks to try. Clicking a card fills the composer with the suggested prompt using a typewriter animation.
• You can now type & in the composer to mention and reference another session by name.

Changed

• In repository settings, the trust actions (Accept, Revoke, Keep local, and Create config file) now show a spinner and become non-interactive while the request is in flight, so it's clear the action was registered.
• Refactored the repository configuration section of project settings into a reusable, presentational RepositoryConfigFileSettings component, with Storybook coverage now backed by the real component. No change to behavior.
• Shift+Tab in the chat composer now moves focus backward as expected for keyboard and screen-reader users, instead of cycling the session mode. Change modes from the mode menu or with ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+M (remappable in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts).

Fixed

• Agent merge check-in prompts no longer clutter the composer's prompt history.
• Closed pull requests that were previously drafts now show the closed icon in the sidebar instead of the draft icon.
• Fixed an error that could prevent bring-your-own-key models from working in project and workspace sessions.
• Fixed keyboard focus returning to the wrong place after closing the "Add from GitHub" repository picker during onboarding, so keyboard and screen-reader users can navigate correctly.
• Fixed lag when switching between chat sessions, especially very large conversations.
• Fixed pull request and issue lists, pull request details, and creating or updating pull requests/issues breaking after a repository was renamed or transferred on GitHub.
• Fixed the coding agent auto-merging a pull request before GitHub's own merge checks (e.g. required status checks) were satisfied.
• Fixed the composer's Changes pill not appearing on WSL workspaces when a session had uncommitted edits.
• Fixed the Impeccable design skill leaving behind stray cache files and git exclude entries in repos where no design issues were found.
• Fixed third-party MCP servers requiring OAuth getting stuck on an endless "authenticating" spinner instead of prompting to sign in.
• In project settings, the repository configuration file row is now hidden until a .github/github-app.yml config actually exists, instead of appearing before you've created one.
• Local automations now use your Settings and per-project instructions, matching interactive sessions.
• Widened the scrollbar thumb on Windows and Linux and fixed the dark theme hover color so the thumb is brighter on hover as expected.
