GitHub Copilot app and Copilot CLI
Copilot app and CLI now honor content exclusions, keeping sensitive code out of context across agentic workflows.

VS Code 1.136 release updates
Agent Merge is now in public preview and gets your pull request ready to merge by resolving review feedback, failed checks, and merge conflicts.
Multi-root workspaces are now experimental and bring Copilot and Claude agent sessions to every folder in your workspace.
Chat backgrounds are now experimental and let you personalize the Agents window with built-in patterns or your own images.
Chat sessions organize related chats into a hierarchy and show which ones need your attention.
