Copilot CLI adds /worktree and Git-free /rewind; VS Code 1.132 ships
This week's Copilot wave adds parallel-agent worktrees, per-request model transparency in Auto, on-device dictation, and click-to-comment page fixes.
Copy markdown
Point at a page element, comment, agent fixes it
VS Code 1.132's built-in browser lets you select specific elements on a rendered page and pin a comment to each, giving an agent exact visual targets instead of a vague 'make the header nicer.' UI iteration becomes direct annotation.
/worktree spins up isolated parallel sessions
The Copilot CLI's new experimental /worktree command creates isolated Git worktrees, so you can run several agent sessions at once without them clobbering each other's files. Real terminal fan-out.
/rewind now works without Git
Copilot CLI's /rewind restores both the conversation and your files even in projects that aren't Git repos, letting you undo an agent's edits with no commit to roll back to.
Auto mode shows which model ran
The Copilot app now displays the model that handled each request in Auto mode, plus AI-credit and cache details when available. No more guessing what the router picked or why a request cost what it did.
Side chats that keep your context and cache
New /side (app) and /btw (VS Code) commands branch a tangential question off the main thread while sharing its context and prompt cache, so you can ask without reloading context or derailing the task.
On-device multilingual dictation
VS Code 1.132 adds dictation powered by a local multilingual model with automatic language detection, so you can speak prompts in your language and nothing leaves the machine.
