GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.81-13: Adds OpenTelemetry support for hooks
copilot-cli-release-app[bot] · ghdev · 2026-08-27
GitHub Copilot CLI released version v1.0.81-13 with the following updates:
Added:
- Hooks can now receive the current OpenTelemetry trace context and emit correlated spans: inputs gain traceparent (plus tracestate when the span has vendor state); command hooks also get env vars.
Fixed:
- Hook lifecycle events (hook.start/hook.end) from hooks inside a subagent are now recorded on that subagent's session and re-emitted on its parent, instead of being dropped on an internal session.
Removed:
- Removed the PLUGINSDASHBOARD opt-out and the legacy skills picker it kept alive. /skills, bare /mcp, and /mcp show (with no server name) always open the dashboard; /mcp config still opens the dedicated MCP wizard.
