VS Code 1.140 makes multi-agent development a first-class workflowThe release lets agents work across repositories and remote hosts while sharing session state through the Agent Host Protocol. It also adds HydraFusion model orchestration, managed Auto tiers and controls for minimum AI-feature versions.→GitHub Copilot Auto adds explicit cost-and-quality tiersThe tiers change how Copilot weighs cost, quality and response time while retaining per-prompt model selection. The feature is rolling out in Visual Studio Code, Copilot CLI and the Copilot app.→Qwen Code nightly hardens local-file bridges and agent process controlsThe release closes trust-gate and bystander gaps in the local-files bridge, rejects an unlimited cgroup sentinel for ACP child heaps and adds transient network retries. It also adds an explicit VS Code session-source switch, improves hook handling and reaps surviving Windows hook process trees.→Déjà Vu 0.19.4 gives multiple coding agents shared project memoryDéjà Vu 0.19.4 connects shared memory to 23 agent harnesses, including VS Code Copilot Chat, Amp, Prime Agent, Cline, Qwen Code and OpenClaw. The release adds session digests, per-prompt recall, compaction-aware forgetting and same-turn repair context for failed commands.→Cline SDK v0.0.77 scopes scheduled-task tools to capable clientsCline SDK 0.0.77 scopes durable todo and one-time or recurring scheduling tools to clients that can service them, with hosts declaring their client type. The release centralises tool-catalog resolution and prevents CLI and editor clients from exposing actions they cannot execute.→Claude Code adds default-model control and cross-session idle notificationsThe release adds ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL for new sessions and a one-shot notify_when_idle option for cross-session SendMessage on macOS and Linux. It also tightens macOS sandbox deny rules, improves auto-mode command review, and adds screen-reader support for transcript events in VS Code.→ChainDrop targets npm users through developer-tool configurationThe Register reports that ChainDrop poisoned 444 npm packages and can activate through configuration used by environments such as VS Code and Claude Code. The campaign is designed to harvest npm tokens, cloud credentials, and other secrets, while dependency scanning may not detect the configuration-based payload.→
