What’s New in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.102 and 1.0.103

Leave a comment

Two more GitHub Copilot CLI releases landed on October 21 and 22, following 1.0.101.

1.0.103 (October 22)

  • Clicking a completed response’s code block copies its original code, when enabled.
  • ACP sessions now honor saved sandbox settings and the --sandbox and --no-sandbox flags, including on resume.
  • Cloud replies keep their full text when the CLI reconnects after a dropped connection.
  • The sessions browser shows a session’s recorded title instead of a generic “Session N.”
  • Model-specific default Responses verbosity now applies correctly for GPT-5 models unless session verbosity is set explicitly.
  • Gemini tool calls avoid 400 schema validation errors for nullable and enum fields.
  • Sandbox grants: dnx commands can use existing .NET and NuGet grants when developer-tool access is enabled, and Windows shims like npm.cmd get the same grants as npm.
  • Local MCP tool snapshots are reused across registered git worktrees in one repository.
  • Remote launch options are clearer, and the legacy --remote and --no-remote flags are retired.

1.0.102 (October 21)

  • Prompt mode (-p and piped stdin) honors managed Auto model selection.
  • Subagents honor custom and MCP tool approvals, avoiding duplicate permission prompts.
  • Plugin marketplaces accept git-subdir sources and long plugin descriptions.
  • Long-running sandboxed commands keep running reliably past 10 seconds, and sandboxed network traffic honors NO_PROXY and ALL_PROXY.
  • Replies cut off by a provider overload error now retry with backoff and show the provider’s message and request ID.

My take

Lots of sandbox plumbing in both releases, which is a theme across every agent CLI this week. If you script the CLI, the retired --remote flags are the thing to check.

Have a blessed day! And Happy Hacking!
