Summary
Updated the Learning Hub to reflect GitHub Copilot CLI changes released in v1.0.79 (and its pre-releases 1.0.79-1 through 1.0.79-9, Aug 4–7 2026), gathered from the copilot-cli changelog and GitHub release notes.

--plancan now be combined with--mode autopilotto draft a plan and immediately implement it without waiting for approval (v1.0.79-7)./sandboxconfig dialog now groups git/gh/keychain settings under a new Auth tab; keys moved fromsandbox.gitAuth/sandbox.ghAuthtosandbox.auth.git/sandbox.auth.gh— no migration, old keys silently ignored (v1.0.79-8, breaking change).worktreeBaseRefsetting: controls whether/worktree,/worktree new, and--worktreebranch fromHEADor the remote default branch; all three now default toHEAD(v1.0.79-8).kimi-k3added to the model roster (v1.0.79-7).allowDevToolCaches→allowDevToolAccesssandbox setting rename (v1.0.79) was already documented correctly.Sections updated
website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/copilot-configuration-basics.md— added plan+autopilot combo flag usage, sandbox auth settings restructuring, andworktreeBaseRefsetting; bumpedlastUpdated.website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/building-custom-agents.md— addedkimi-k3to the model selection table; bumpedlastUpdated.No new page was warranted — all changes fit as incremental additions to existing pages. Per instructions, the
cli-for-beginnerssection was left untouched.Source references
