Release v1.0.2 · github/app

What's new in v1.0.2

Session forking is now available to all users: fork a session from a completed agent response to explore an alternative approach, then merge the forked work back to the parent session.
Pull request creation now automatically creates or reuses forks for public repositories when you don't have push access to the upstream.
Start a Copilot session in any repository directly from an issue's context menu in My Work, not just the repository the issue was filed in.
Weekly automations can now be scheduled to run on multiple days of the week.
Remote sessions are easier to find: the sidebar's new-project menu includes a 'Resume remote session…' option, and the command palette groups remote sessions by repository.

Added a "New session in repository..." option to the issue context menu in My work, letting you start a session in a different repository than the one the issue was filed in. The bulk Actions picker can also start individual sessions in a chosen repository.
Pull request creation can now automatically create or reuse forks for public repositories when the current user cannot push to the upstream repository.
Session forking is now available to all users: fork a session from a completed agent response to explore an alternative approach, then merge the forked work back to the parent session.
Weekly automations can now be scheduled to run on multiple days of the week. Select multiple weekday checkboxes when creating or editing a weekly automation; the trigger displays a compact summary (e.g. "3 days selected") and the selected days are restored when you reopen the automation.

Clicking a GitHub issue link in chat or a canvas opens the issue in the app's side panel instead of the system browser. Right-click the link to open it in your default browser or copy it; in a canvas, Cmd/Ctrl-click also opens it in your browser.
In the sidebar, sessions with an open pull request now appear above sessions that are still actively running.
Remote sessions are now easier to find: the sidebar's new-project menu includes a 'Resume remote session…' option, and the command palette groups remote sessions by repository with pull-request or branch icons.
Search and grep tool results are now grouped by file, showing each file path once as a header with a line-number gutter, making results easier to scan.
Sessions whose PR is ready to merge now appear under a dedicated "Ready to merge" group in the grouped sidebar view, instead of being mixed into "Needs input".
Settings sidebar navigation is now organized into logical groups, labels use consistent sentence case ("MCP servers", "Model providers"), and Model providers has a new icon.
The composer now shows a dedicated Plan pill and a separate Background agents pill again, instead of a single combined Tasks pill.
The default branch prefix now uses a dash separator (e.g. username-my-feature) instead of a slash (e.g. username/my-feature) for newly generated branch names.

An error message now appears under the repository name input in the create repository dialog when the name contains disallowed characters, instead of the Create button silently staying disabled.
Fixed a file-watcher leak that could accumulate while opening, archiving, and deleting workspaces over a long session, eventually exhausting the app's file watchers and causing it to stop detecting file changes until restart.
Fixed an issue where editing the interval of a workspace-bound automation workflow (e.g., manual → hourly) would silently revert to the previous value after saving.
Fixed an issue where the composer pills (Changes, PR, Plan, Tasks) would briefly stack vertically when closing an expanded panel.
My Work list rows now stay highlighted while their context menu is open, making it clear which item the menu applies to.
Opening the Automations view via a deep link on cold start no longer intermittently shows a blank screen.
Repository name input no longer auto-capitalizes the first letter — the exact casing you type is now preserved.
The add-tab (+) button in the right-panel tab bar now sits immediately after the last tab instead of floating at the far right edge of the bar.
The changed-files count no longer resets to zero when a file-watcher error occurs; the last known file list is preserved until a successful update arrives.
User, plugin, and remote agents are now shown in the /agent command when working inside a project, not just project-scoped agents.
