Summary

The release adds copilot configuration subcommands and a pre-conversation environment picker for local or cloud execution. It also improves Entra-protected MCP credential renewal, bounds legacy HTTP-SSE hangs, preserves prompts during compaction and retries oversized provider requests after reducing attachments.

Why it matters

Copilot CLI is becoming a more configurable multi-environment agent runtime, with fewer failure modes during long or tool-heavy coding sessions.
