GitHub Copilot app adds per-project local sandboxing for files, network, and credentials
GitHub Changelog (@GHchangelog) launched public-preview local sandboxing in the Copilot app: per-project limits on filesystem, outbound/local network, and Git/GitHub CLI credentials to reduce blast radius from unintended agent commands. Off by default; enable “Sandbox new sessions” or /sandbox on for an active session. Not for cloud/remote-host sessions; if the OS cannot enforce policy, the sandboxed shell errors instead of running unsandboxed.

GitHub Copilot Automations go team-wide: repo-owned shared automations, 24 new triggers, 20 new tools and AI credit limits
At GitHub Universe on Oct 28, GitHub shipped a batch of Copilot Automations updates. Shared automations now belong to the repository, act as Copilot, bill AI credits to the repo owner and keep running after their creator leaves. Automations gain 24 new GitHub event triggers, REST API triggers from external systems and chaining, plus 20 new tools and custom MCP servers. Teams can cap AI credits per run, day, week or month, automations can propose improvements to their own prompts from real outcomes, and VS Code 1.144 can run them in the cloud.

GitHub Universe 2026: Copilot Fusion is generally available, routing and orchestrating models automatically, with Fusion Max scoring 60 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index at about half the cost of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 Max
At GitHub Universe 2026 on Oct 28, GitHub made Copilot Fusion generally available. It merges the multi-model orchestration of the Project HydraFusion research preview with Copilot auto model selection: users pick Copilot Fusion and an effort level (Standard, High or Max) in the model picker, and the system decides which models to use and whether to run a Single, Cascade or Critique workflow. GitHub says Fusion Max scored 60 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, two points below Claude Code with Opus 5.5 Max, at about half the API cost per task, about half the tokens and about 40% less time. Each underlying model is billed at its standard rate, and paid plans get 30% off through Nov 30.
