Shkarko GitHub Copilot 0.2.30

What's new in v0.2.30

Added
- Added a "Remote sessions" setting in General settings that lets you choose the default remote behavior for new sessions: Off, Export (transcript only), or Remote control.
- Added a new "Agent merge reply attribution" toggle in Settings > General (on by default). When enabled, agent merge appends a short attribution line to the replies it posts when resolving pull request review threads, indicating the reply was made automatically by the GitHub Copilot app.
- Quick Chat now includes an integrated terminal in its right panel, so you can run commands without leaving the chat.
- You can now paste or drag-and-drop images directly into GitHub comment boxes (issues, pull requests, reviews, and the create issue dialog) — the image uploads automatically and the hosted link is inserted into the comment.

Changed
- Agent questions now appear as a card above the composer instead of replacing it. Clicking a choice or pressing its number key highlights it; pressing Enter or clicking Continue confirms. Pressing Escape or sending a normal message dismisses the prompt.
- Anthropic model names now display in full (e.g. "Claude Opus 4.8", "Claude Sonnet 4.6") in the model picker and model-change messages, matching how GPT and Gemini models are already shown.
- Clicking Run now opens the run-script terminal in a bottom split of the right panel instead of taking over the main tab group, so the diff or files surface stays visible above the run output.
- The command palette placeholder now mentions sessions, making it easier to discover that you can search for active sessions from the same entry point.
- The pull request inbox now loads initial results faster; diff stats and check status badges appear shortly after in a follow-up update.

Fixed
- (Windows/Linux) Deep-links now route to the focused app instance when multiple instances are running, and closing one instance no longer breaks deep-link handling in others.
- API errors (billing misconfiguration, bad credentials, server errors, connection failures) now display as readable messages in the conversation instead of raw JSON or HTTP response text.
- Canvas tabs (extension, editor, and browser canvases) no longer reappear after restarting a session when the user had previously closed them.
- Closing a terminal canvas now persists across session switches — it no longer reappears when reselecting a session.
- Enabling remote control now shows a clear error when the session is unavailable (e.g. blocked by enterprise policy) instead of a false success notification with non-functional actions.
- Fixed a bug in the Rich view editor where saving a markdown file containing snake_case identifiers in tables caused backslashes to double on every save, ballooning the file size and freezing the session.
- Fixed a false "Copilot CLI failed to start" error that could appear on busy machines even when the CLI was healthy.
- Fixed a performance issue where opening multiple workspaces could pin a CPU core at 100% and cause the app to drop to near-zero frames per second.
- Fixed an error when opening an installed extension canvas from the "+" menu that caused a "Failed to open canvas" error for extensions with longer names.
- Fixed an error where USB microphones reporting 24-bit or 32-bit audio formats (such as the Jabra Link 380 on Windows) failed with "Unsupported microphone sample format" in Voice mode.
- Fixed an issue on macOS and Linux where Git Credential Manager would repeatedly display a "GitHub Sign in" dialog during background git operations, causing a loop of prompts that could not be permanently dismissed.
- Fixed an issue where clicking "Re-run" in the pull request Checks panel would open duplicate browser tabs instead of re-running the check.
- Fixed an issue where reopening a pull request with an already-provisioned workspace would stall the UI indefinitely on "Preparing project..."
- Fixed an issue where the GitHub re-authentication banner would appear repeatedly during transient GitHub API outages, even when the account token was still valid.
- Fixed deep-link callbacks on Linux opening a new instance instead of routing to the running one.
- Fixed Linux updates so deb and rpm installs show release-page guidance instead of failing to self-update, while AppImage installs can self-update again.
- Fixed markdown rendering: footnotes now appear as smaller muted text with a dividing line, task-list checkboxes stay vertically centered at all text sizes, and GitHub issue/PR reference links wrap correctly inside task lists.
- Fixed unreadable word-level diff highlights in the GitHub Light High Contrast theme, where changed words appeared as dark text on a dark background.
- Inbox search results now respect the requested sort order instead of always being sorted by most recently updated.
- Model provider icons in the model picker now correctly reflect the active light/dark theme tone, including on first paint.
- Pasting multiline text inside a blockquote now keeps all lines within the quote instead of only the first line escaping into unquoted text.
- Project pickers in the automation dialog and new-session view now label each entry by its unique project name, so multiple worktrees or folders of the same repository are distinguishable.
- Sessions are now correctly renamed by the agent when the first-prompt auto-generated name contained punctuation or mixed casing that differed from its stored form.
- Switching to a model that does not support reasoning effort (such as Auto or MAI Code 1 Flash) no longer causes session creation to fail when a reasoning effort was previously configured.
- Unsaved filter refinements in the My work inbox are now preserved when navigating away and back within the app.
