Copilot Fusion: Option to select model family
### Description I like the idea of Copilot Fusion, but it seems it almost always chooses a GPT model. It would be nice to have an option to specify which model family it should select from (e.g. Claude, GPT, Gemini, …), or to keep Auto (the current behavior). ### Issue Details...
everything: gzip-file-as-resource's generated resource carries no icons in either era
## Problem #3131 gave every `everything` primitive light and dark icons, and the docs now say so: `docs/features.md` ("every entry of `tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list` and `resources/templates/list` carry an `icons` array") and the README ("every tool, prompt,...

Ability to control which models Copilot Fusion uses
I'd like the ability to control which models Copilot Fusion uses, maybe even down to which models it can use for each pass. It seems to favor ChatGPT models and personally I find they are not very good in large projects: they write code that yes a good but inexperienced...
computer use on copilot requires the app to be on foreground?

Duo
No Duo support :( Maybe the guy who could fix it was one of the 60K Probably trying to add support while using CoPilot
No Support for Duo
How is it Microsoft made sure Outlook and Copilot were optimized for the iPhone Duo on day 1 but all other products are still just waiting. Once optimized I will adjust this review.
Github copilot auto fix

Copilot's Excessive Autonomy
Hi VSCode team. I want to share that I had to downgrade my VSCode on linux to vscode version 1.133.0-1786487973 from the latest as of 24 October 26, because I lost control over the acceptance of changes or addictions proposed by the chat/copilot. Before I had the options to keep...
CI: a superseded dispatched run's pending status can overwrite the newer run's result (typescript.yml, python.yml)
In `typescript.yml` and `python.yml`, the `dispatch-status-pending` job posts its `(dispatched)` status as `pending` without first checking for a newer dispatched run on the same commit. The `dispatch-status` result job does check (#5178), and it posts nothing when a newer run...

git: git_commit concluding a merge leaves a --autostash stash unapplied
### Describe the bug #5012's fix (in #5007) makes `git_commit` conclude an in-progress merge: it records `HEAD` plus every `MERGE_HEAD` commit as parents and removes `MERGE_HEAD`, `MERGE_MSG`, `MERGE_MODE` and `AUTO_MERGE`. It does not handle `MERGE_AUTOSTASH`. For a merge...

git_commit during a merge records one parent and leaves MERGE_HEAD in place
### Describe the bug `git_commit` cannot conclude a merge. While a merge is in progress (`MERGE_HEAD` present, e.g. after `git merge --no-commit` or a resolved conflict), it writes a commit with **one** parent, `HEAD`, and leaves `MERGE_HEAD` (and `MERGE_MSG`) in place, so the...
Any fix or workaround for editor patch failures?
These are rare but they happen from time to time. Basically sometimes an edit by the agent will fail because somehow there are unsaved changes there (probably a failed earlier edit? or maybe a filesystem modification date issue?). I never touch the files myself while the agents...
Copilot is bad
Copilot remote control could be so useful. But it’s so bad. It stalls a lot. The updates refresh the chat every single time. It needs a good pass from Someone who uses it daily
Why is Copilot so bad?
Is it the fabric integration that sucks or is the entire product truly this awful? Have never tried it before and holy hell, it manages to fail even at basic, boilerplate code type of problems. I prompted it to give all table names of 2 schemas in the attached lake house and...
Copilot uses apply_patch idiosyncracy that fails to run git file edits.
I noticed my agents go into file edit death spirals attempting to execute a tool call called apply_catch, fail miserably and waste the first minutes of each run trying to get file edits to run with edit tools whitelisted. I asked GHCP to backtrack the issue where this wrong...
Android dev here. What's your setup?

Copilot gets stuck
The idea of using copilot while I’m out of the house is amazing. But every time the model prompts a choice. It breaks. If I restart the app all of my old choices re-appear like I need to answer them. But they are old. Please fix this I need this app to work for my workflow. It’s...
