Copilot exposes subagent tasks, queued prompts and headless autopilot
GitHub's 13 August Copilot release added a CLI task view for subagents, queued prompts and shell commands, a headless plan-plus-autopilot path and context-preserving handoff to the Copilot app. The same release added plugin management in the app and JetBrains memory plus Ollama as a local BYOK provider.
Why it matters: Operators gained visible task state and a queue for work that can continue without another turn. That makes task ownership, ordering, rewind behavior, model provenance and context transfer concrete controls rather than hidden agent behavior.
