Copilot for Obsidian v4.0.3 🛠️
A patch aimed at the things that stopped Copilot working with your own models and your own accounts. Models added with your own API key answer in Quick Chat again, an invalid license key no longer inherits the plan it replaced, and the documentation is now something you can hand straight to your agent.
✨ Enhancements
- 🔎 Two new web search providers: Exa and Parallel. They sit alongside Firecrawl and Perplexity Sonar in Self-Host mode, each with its own key, and Agent Chat on opencode now routes through whichever one you pick instead of quietly falling back to Copilot Plus (#2952, #2954).
- 📚 The documentation is agent-first. Copilot's guides now build and publish straight from the plugin repo and are written for an agent to read, so you can point your assistant at them and have it answer your Copilot questions for you (#2940, #2942, #2951, #2953).
- 📄 Long messages stop swallowing the sidebar. A pasted stack trace or note excerpt taller than 12 lines now collapses behind a Show more control, keeping the reply and your earlier turns in view (#2962).
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- 🌙 Models on your own API key answer in Quick Chat. Moonshot Kimi and others returned "Connection error." on every message because Copilot forced a temperature they refuse; it now sends no temperature, top_p, or frequency_penalty and shows you what the provider actually said (#2959, #2961).
- 🔑 A bad license key no longer keeps your old plan open. Pasting an invalid key over a working one left the badge reading Lifetime and every paid gate open for about two weeks; an invalid key now closes access, while a real outage still keeps the access you had (#2955).
- 🎚️ The thinking-effort menu matches the model. Copilot Plus models offered effort levels they do not actually support, so two settings could return the same reply while a model's hardest level was missing; each model now lists only its real levels, and one that grades nothing shows no control at all (#2917, #2925).
- ✅ Agent questions cannot go out half answered. A multi-select question you never touched counted as answered and submitted blank; Submit now waits until every question has a selection or a filled-in Other (#2966).
- 🔧 Debug log and search scope tidied up. Agent Mode's debug log is now owner-only, and Agent Chat stays inside the Current vault search scope (#2848, #2950).
- 🧹 Azure OpenAI is removed. This is V3 housekeeping and the right providers return with Agent V4; for now re-add the same endpoint and key as a custom OpenAI-compatible provider, and re-index your vault if Azure was your embedding model (#2932, #2934).
