GitHub / Copilot GitHub Copilot weekly releases — October 5

This week’s updates make Copilot easier to use across accounts and environments, with more control over what agents can access and how you manage their work. GitHub Copilot Claude Haiku 5.5 is available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users. Limit agents’ access to files, networks, and credentials with local sandboxing, now generally available in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, and VS Code sessions using Agent Host. This is included with Copilot at no extra cost. Learn more about local sandboxing .

For example, use an enterprise-provided Copilot license while accessing repositories through another account. Download the Copilot app .
