What new features were found

From the Copilot CLI changelog (v1.0.66–1.0.70, June 24 – July 9, 2026):

  • /refine command (v1.0.70): Rewrites a rough prompt into a clear, structured one
  • .github/copilot/settings.json (v1.0.70): New repo-level settings file that lets a trusted repository pin the model, reasoning effort level, context tier, and extend deny lists for all sessions
  • --sandbox / --no-sandbox flags (v1.0.70): Per-session sandbox toggle without changing the persisted setting
  • /plugins dashboard (v1.0.69): In-session UI for managing installed plugins
  • Plugin SHA pinning (v1.0.70): Pin plugins to an exact commit SHA via the sha field for reproducible environments
  • Forge auto-draft skills (v1.0.70): CLI automatically creates draft skills when it detects clear, repeatable workflow patterns
  • preToolUse exit code 2 (v1.0.70): Explicit deny signal for preToolUse hooks, distinct from unexpected errors
