Pull request overview
Adds experiment-based configuration gates in the Copilot extension to selectively disable specific tools when using GPT-5.4/GPT-5.5 model families, preserving current behavior by default while allowing experiments to turn off access.
Changes:
- Introduced two
ExperimentBasedboolean settings to gateget_changed_filesandread_filefor GPT-5.4/5.5. - Updated tool enablement filtering to apply these gates before tool-picker and explicit enablement logic.
