## Summary

GitHub's changelog announces that Copilot agent sessions can now be started in VS Code and continued in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, GitHub Mobile, github.com, or Copilot CLI. It also adds the Agent Host for running sessions on a separate machine, computer use as an experimental feature, and preview connectors that bring in context from services such as Slack, Notion, and Microsoft Learn.

## Why it matters

The release explains how cloud and local Copilot agent sessions now carry across VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, GitHub Mobile, and the CLI, a useful reference for changed workflows.
