The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

GitHub Copilot's asynchronous, autonomous background cloud agent is now generally available for Linear. Users can assign Linear issues directly to the agent, which analyzes the issue and works on it in the background.

Marks GA of a concrete agent-to-issue-tracker integration; useful for teams evaluating asynchronous agent delegation patterns.
