Pipeline notes

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

GitHub's C++ language server for Copilot CLI now includes an MSBuild compile-command extractor and runs it automatically, removing the need for agents to locate and invoke the extractor separately.

Reduces setup friction when agents inspect C++ repositories by making MSBuild build context available without an extra discovery command.
