What’s New in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.106 (Pre-Releases): A /code Command and Lots of Hardening

Copilot CLI 1.0.106 is still in pre-release, and builds -1 through -9 have landed since October 31. Here’s what stood out.

New

• /code opens the current session in VS Code
• A Fusion tier setting in copilot config, and /settings is now one dashboard with global search
• Windows local model downloads install llama.cpp for you
• Opt-in session management tools, and the browser-use plugin moves to 0.1.0

Fixes worth knowing

• A long list of fixes so model text, MCP errors, file names and branch names can’t sneak terminal escape sequences in to hide or restyle what you see
• A prompt before reaching outside the workspace through dangling symlinks or --name=/path style options
• --yolo and --allow-all now apply when you resume a session, so watch out
• Long conversations recover from oversized requests by trimming old reasoning and retrying
• apply_patch keeps mixed LF/CRLF line endings and reports real line counts

My take

The escape-sequence cleanup is the big one. If a model or a file can redraw your approval prompt, you might approve something you never saw. These are pre-releases, so stay on stable unless you want to test.

Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.

God Bless, and Happy hacking!
