November 2025 Insiders (version 1.107) (code.visualstudio.com)

The November 2025 VS Code Insiders (v1.107) updates polish and extend Copilot/chat-agent workflows, terminal integration, and security controls for enterprise users. Notable additions include a command-palette/editor-toolbar entry to create Copilot CLI agent sessions, a unified Chat Sessions single-view, and custom chat-mode keybindings. The chat terminal now uses an embedded xterm.js instance (true ANSI colors, proper formatting), persists serialized terminal output, and shows exit codes, start time, and duration. Terminal/command UX got finer-grained controls: Copilot-suggested commands can be permitted per-chat session, terminal suggestions separate args vs flags, and URLs pasted into chat are auto-approved while fetches gain per-URL/domain approval rules. The built-in GitHub MCP server lets Copilot interact directly with repos, PRs and issues; MCP requests now send a proper VSCode User-Agent and can return https:// resources (reducing base64 blowup). For AI/ML practitioners this tightens the feedback loop between natural-language agents and reproducible, auditable command execution. Persistent, serial terminal outputs plus execution metadata make experiment runs and agent-driven data-processing easier to trace and debug. MCP + GitHub integration enables programmatic repo operations from chat agents (useful for dataset/preprocessing scripts, model infra PRs), while textSearch now respects search.useIgnoreFiles when agents explicitly query, preventing accidental leakage from ignored datasets. Enterprise-safe auth (MSAL broker support on Linux x64 and Intel macs) and improved permission granularity help teams adopt agent-driven automation with stronger security and compliance.
