Pull request overview
Enables Copilot’s inline agent history summarization by default and expands the Responses API tool-search gating logic to recognize GPT‑5.5 model IDs (while still requiring the existing experiment/setting gate).
Changes:
- Flip the default for
github.copilot.chat.agentHistorySummarizationInlinetotrue(code + contributed setting). - Update tool-search model ID gating to include GPT‑5.5 (and normalization for dot vs hyphen variants).
- Extend unit tests for
modelSupportsToolSearchto cover GPT‑5.5 IDs.
