First, cloud sandbox unification. Archive operations now sync through Mission Control, so archiving in VS Code also archives the owning task elsewhere — that's pull request 339608. Related work populates models and permissions without provisioning a sandbox first, surfaces sandbox setup progress in the draft view,…
Second, runtime churn and agent reliability. The bundled Copilot SDK was bumped to the latest preview in 339423, with a proposal to pin a custom signed build for session-scoped telemetry in 339640. Alongside that: closing idle turns for task-less subagents that never appear in the task list, distinguishing cancelled…
