1.0.81-10

Added 2

The plugins dashboard is available to everyone via /plugin, /mcp, or /skills commands
Set PLUGINS_DASHBOARD=false environment variable to opt out of the plugins dashboard and copilot plugins command

Changed 5

x is now the delete key everywhere, replacing d in /sandbox config, /settings, /mcp, sessions dialog, and diff comments summary
Auto mode now adapts model selection as your task evolves during a conversation
/plugin now flags installed plugins and marketplaces that have a newer version upstream and offers an Update action
Show your last prompt as the inferred objective in the Autopilot status panel
When --no-sandbox is ignored because enterprise policy could not be determined, the notice now explains this and no longer points at an administrator or claims a policy requires the sandbox

Fixed 3

Fixed an indefinite Loading/Resuming hang at startup when a repository plugin activates a contributed extension or another extension reload races the initial load
Vim mode badge stays visible beside the activity indicator during turns
The startup status finishes after extension configuration during plugin reconciliation

Removed 2

Removed /plugins command; its resources moved to /plugin, /mcp, /skills, /subagents, and /instructions
Enabling and disabling hooks and LSP servers is temporarily unavailable

From copilot-cli

New

The plugins dashboard is available to everyone: run /plugin, /mcp, or /skills. Set PLUGINS_DASHBOARD=false to opt out of it and the copilot plugins command.

Improved

x is now the delete key everywhere: /sandbox config, /settings, /mcp, the sessions dialog and the diff comments summary move off d
Auto mode now adapts model selection as your task evolves during a conversation
/plugin now flags installed plugins and marketplaces that have a newer version upstream, and offers an Update action to pull it
Show your last prompt as the inferred objective in the Autopilot status panel
When --no-sandbox is ignored because enterprise policy could not be determined, the notice now says so, and no longer points at an administrator, instead of claiming a policy requires the sandbox. The unsupported-host warning says the same rather than contradicting it.

Fixed

Fixed an indefinite "Loading…/Resuming…" hang at startup when a repository plugin activates a contributed extension (or another extension reload races the initial load), which previously left the environment stuck on "still waiting on extensions"
Vim mode badge stays visible beside the activity indicator during turns
The startup status finishes after extension configuration during plugin reconciliation

Removed

Removed /plugins; its resources moved to /plugin, /mcp and /skills, with /subagents and /instructions for agents and instructions.
Enabling and disabling hooks and LSP servers is temporarily unavailable: those toggles existed only in the /plugins dashboard that this release removes.
