GitHub Copilot CLI released v1.0.84-9.
- Added: /settings now lets users opt in to context management tools for agents and subagents.
- Improved: faster metadata scanning for large local session histories, with higher thread and memory usage.
- Fixed: End/Ctrl+E now jump to the true end of wrapped lines; --share=/notes.md writes to the home directory; modified chords no longer trigger /tasks shortcuts; MCP servers no longer fail to load when connected to a running IDE; MCP turns continue after tool list refresh failures; plus fixes for scheduled prompt errors, auth model list refresh, mouse tracking leaks, and more.
A routine maintenance release, with the new agent context management settings as the main highlight.
