GitHub Copilot 0.2.33 download

What's new in v0.2.33

Highlights
- Added a /orchestrate composer command for coordinating multi-session and multi-repo work, letting the agent delegate tasks across child sessions.
- Added /context and /usage slash commands to view your session's token usage and AI credit spend, or your plan's usage and rate limits.
- The agent can now create cloud sessions on your behalf when using the create_session tool, in addition to local sessions.
- MCP App UI panels can no longer send chat messages or invoke tools without a user gesture, closing a security vulnerability where a server-authored panel could act automatically on load.
- Mermaid diagrams now render using the improved Beautiful Mermaid renderer by default, with automatic fallback for unsupported syntax.

Added
- Added /context and /usage slash commands in the chat composer. /context opens the session usage summary (token count, context window, and AI credit spend); /usage opens your plan's usage and rate limits.
- Added a /orchestrate composer command for coordinating multi-session and multi-repo work, letting the agent delegate tasks across child sessions instead of working inline.
- File paths mentioned in assistant messages that point to generated artifacts are now rendered as clickable links that open the file in the right panel.
- The agent can now create cloud sessions on your behalf when using the create_session tool, in addition to local sessions.

Changed
- Error toasts now show up to 4 lines of text, stay visible for 10 seconds, and include a "Copy error" button for messages with dynamic content so you can easily capture error details for bug reports.
- File paths mentioned in agent responses are now always clickable, opening the file directly in the editor.
- Images in conversations and pull requests now load lazily and use less memory.
- Improved accessibility of the Share feedback dialog: the topic menu now announces its current selection, the feedback textarea has a proper label, the submit button stays focusable and is announced as unavailable when empty, the mood picker uses correct radio button semantics with arrow-key navigation, and Tab no longer dismisses the dialog when focus is on the last control.
- Improved the command palette's session actions: added an "Open in panel..." item to open a terminal, browser, or other panel without leaving the keyboard; removed the now-redundant individual "Open terminal" and "Open browser" items; reordered thinking controls so "Set thinking effort" appears before the reasoning toggle; moved share and extension items to the bottom; and hid "Create PR" when the session has no changes. Also added a keyboard-shortcut tooltip to the right panel's "+" add-tab button.
- Mermaid diagrams now render using the improved Beautiful Mermaid renderer by default, with automatic fallback to the legacy renderer for unsupported syntax.
- The Azure DevOps popular MCP server preset now uses the hosted remote endpoint instead of a local npx command, so adding it no longer requires a local Node.js install.
- The find dialog (Cmd+F) is now unified across the conversation, diff view, and Home — one consistent experience with shared scope toggles wherever you search.

Fixed
- Agent merge no longer silently enables on draft pull requests. Previously, a sticky per-project default could inherit onto a new draft PR and queue GitHub auto-merge without the user's knowledge.
- Binary and non-text files (e.g. .xlsx) now show a helpful empty state with "Show in Finder" and "Open file" actions instead of a raw error message. "Show in Finder/Explorer/File Manager" is also available in the file tree context menu and in the artifact editor toolbar.
- Copy, share, and bookmark actions now reliably appear on assistant responses in conversations that include tool use, task completions, or resumed historical sessions.
- Creating a session from a pull request no longer silently fails when the project's linked GitHub account is missing. The link is automatically restored if possible, and if not, an actionable error message is shown with the option to reassign the account in Project Settings.
- Dismissing the auto-cleanup prompt (via the X button, Escape, or swipe) now permanently suppresses it instead of allowing it to reappear on every app launch or every 6 hours.
- Fixed a bug where a new empty chat was created in the sidebar on every app launch.
- Fixed extra spacing on the Changes tab when no diff stats are present, so all workspace tabs now have consistent padding.
- Fixed the "GitHub authorization needed" banner flashing on and off during normal use.
- MCP App UI panels can no longer send chat messages or invoke tools on behalf of the user without a user gesture, closing a security vulnerability where a server-authored panel could do so automatically on load.
- Pasting rich content into the composer now imports supported formatting without inserting raw HTML markup. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V (paste as plain text) reliably inserts literal text without applying markdown formatting or link wrapping.
- Pending message bubbles now display a clearly visible dashed outline instead of a faint one.
- Pending user messages now show a "Pending" label on hover instead of a misleading timestamp.
- Quick chats are now automatically renamed by the agent based on the conversation content, matching the behavior of project sessions.
- Screen readers now announce correct item counts, keyboard shortcut names, and external-link affordances in app menus.
- Selecting a session from the Cmd-K palette now focuses the prompt composer on arrival, so you can start typing immediately without an extra click.
- The "Create from…" dialog now shows "Matching pull requests" and "Matching issues" instead of "Cached pull requests" and "Cached issues" when searching.
- The command palette now shows 'User extension' or 'Project extension' next to identically named extensions, making it easy to tell them apart when both scopes are installed.
- The sidebar toggle is now visible and usable while a workspace panel is maximized, so you can show or hide the sidebar without leaving panel focus mode.
- Toggle switches now maintain clear visual contrast across all themes, including custom and monochrome themes in both light and dark mode.
- Tooltips in the bottom pane of a split layout now display correctly instead of being hidden behind a browser preview pane.
- Voice mode mic test playback no longer hijacks the system play/pause media key.

Removed
- Agent merge no longer remembers the last selection per project. This sticky default could enable agent merge on PRs the user never explicitly opted in for; agent merge is now always opt-in per PR.
