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

GitHub Copilot app now supports local sandboxing, restricting the agent's access to files, network resources, and credentials on the user's machine to reduce the impact of unintended commands.

First-party GitHub feature that adds a security boundary for agent-executed commands. Worth configuring for anyone running Copilot coding agent on real work.
