- **added** — Show running Copilot sessions in the Windows 11 taskbar with live hover status cards
- **changed** — On macOS and Linux, sandboxed commands can no longer reach services running on your machine, and on macOS this also blocks a server the command itself starts on 127.0.0.1, so test suites that bind a local port will fail; turn on Allow local network in /sandbox to reach localhost again
- **changed** — Linux sandboxing now requires slirp4netns, nsenter, iptables, ip6tables, iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore on PATH
- **fixed** — A session lock that is re-entered on the same thread now fails with a reported error instead of freezing the CLI
- **fixed** — Kerberos proxy authentication reconnects when the initial challenge answers with Connection: close
- **fixed** — Sandboxed gh commands now authenticate as the account configured for the repository instead of the Copilot CLI login
- **fixed** — MCP tools remain callable after MCP server restarts

**Added**
- Show running Copilot sessions in the Windows 11 taskbar with live hover status cards

**Improved**
- On macOS and Linux, sandboxed commands can no longer reach services running on your machine. On macOS this also blocks a server the command itself starts on 127.0.0.1, so test suites that bind a local port will fail; turn on Allow local network in /sandbox to reach localhost again.
- Linux sandboxing now needs slirp4netns, nsenter, iptables, ip6tables, iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore on PATH. Install them if sandboxed commands start failing to launch.

**Fixed**
- A session lock that is re-entered on the same thread now fails with a reported error instead of freezing the CLI.
- Kerberos proxy authentication reconnects when the initial challenge answers with `Connection: close`
- Sandboxed `gh` commands now authenticate as the account configured for the repository instead of the Copilot CLI login
- MCP tools remain callable after MCP server restarts
