- **added** — The plugins dashboard is available to everyone via /plugin, /mcp, or /skills commands
- **added** — Set PLUGINS_DASHBOARD=false environment variable to opt out of the plugins dashboard and copilot plugins command
- **changed** — x is now the delete key everywhere, replacing d in /sandbox config, /settings, /mcp, sessions dialog, and diff comments summary
- **changed** — Auto mode now adapts model selection as your task evolves during a conversation
- **changed** — /plugin now flags installed plugins and marketplaces that have a newer version upstream and offers an Update action
- **changed** — Show your last prompt as the inferred objective in the Autopilot status panel
- **changed** — 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** — Fixed an indefinite Loading/Resuming hang at startup when a repository plugin activates a contributed extension or another extension reload races the initial load
- **fixed** — Vim mode badge stays visible beside the activity indicator during turns
- **fixed** — The startup status finishes after extension configuration during plugin reconciliation
- **removed** — Removed /plugins command; its resources moved to /plugin, /mcp, /skills, /subagents, and /instructions
- **removed** — Enabling and disabling hooks and LSP servers is temporarily unavailable

**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.
