Changes Detected
CLI Help Output Changes
Breaking/UI Changes:
- The main
copilot --help output no longer displays inline "Help Topics" and "Examples" sections
- Help content was reduced from ~140 lines to ~82 lines (58 lines removed)
- The removed sections included:
- Help Topics list (config, commands, environment, logging, permissions)
- Usage examples (12 different examples showing common CLI patterns)
Functionality Preserved:
- All help content remains accessible via
copilot help (topic) subcommand
- Help topics still work:
copilot help config, copilot help environment, etc.
- No changes detected to command-line flags or options
- No changes to available models or tool permissions
