GitHub shipped Copilot CLI 1.0.9 with stability fixes and new controls, building on 1.0.8’s extensibility and terminal improvements.
The latest Copilot CLI update tackles noisy SSH disconnect errors and adds an include_gitignored option for file search. It also fixes WSL copy of non‑ASCII text and makes marketplace/plugin installs from shortened URLs work again. See the 1.0.9 notes on the releases page.
Version 1.0.8 shipped a security‑minded extension mode, an experimental MCP_ALLOWLIST to validate MCP servers, support for hooks in multiple settings files, and much smoother terminal behavior in tmux/SSH. Details are in the 1.0.8 release and its pre‑release notes.
Remote and terminal-heavy workflows get fewer false errors and better input/output behavior, especially over SSH, tmux, macOS Terminal, and WSL.
Security and control improve via an extension mode and an experimental MCP allowlist to vet external MCP servers.
-
terminal
On dev boxes and CI runners, verify SSH/tmux sessions no longer show spurious ENOTCONN/EIO messages and that scrolling and Ctrl-C behave correctly.
-
terminal
Enable include_gitignored in config and confirm @ file search results match expectation without bloating results or leaking sensitive files.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Roll out 1.0.9 to all shells and remote hosts; standardize config (hooks, include_gitignored) in settings.json/settings.local.json to avoid drift.
- 02.
If you use MCP, pilot the MCP_ALLOWLIST and tighten extension mode to limit which servers and extensions can run in trusted repos.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Adopt Copilot CLI as the default task/agent interface for new services and define repo-level hooks in code alongside team policies.
- 02.
Start with an allowlisted MCP registry and locked-down extension mode, then open up selectively as workflows mature.
