What was found

Reviewing the Copilot CLI changelog for releases v1.0.58–v1.0.63 (June 2–15, 2026) revealed five undocumented features across the Learning Hub.

What was updated

1. understanding-mcp-servers.md (was: 2026-05-07)

  • Added .github/mcp.json to the configuration discovery table — the CLI now auto-loads MCP servers from this path as an alternative to .mcp.json (v1.0.61)
  • Added deferTools config field documentation — keeps a server's tools always visible even when tool search is enabled (v1.0.63)

2. automating-with-hooks.md (was: 2026-05-08)

  • Fixed matcher documentation — the existing note incorrectly implied both preToolUse and postToolUse matchers were fixed in v1.0.36. Updated to accurately reflect that postToolUse matchers were silently dropped until v1.0.63, so formatters could fire after every tool call instead of only after edits

3. installing-and-using-plugins.md (was: 2026-04-27)

  • Added Extensions as a plugin component type in the components table
  • Added new section explaining that plugins can now ship extensions (canvas providers, etc.) that become available immediately on install (v1.0.62)

4. using-copilot-coding-agent.md (was: 2026-05-13)

  • Added tip noting that custom agents in nested .github/agents/ and .claude/agents/ subdirectories are auto-discovered when starting a session from a repository subdirectory — useful for monorepos (v1.0.62)

5. agents-and-subagents.md (was: 2026-05-07)

  • Updated rubber-duck agent from "experimental" to enabled-by-default, with instructions to disable it or its auto-invoke behavior (v1.0.58)
  • Added new section on configuring subagent model, reasoning effort, and context tier via /subagents picker or config settings (v1.0.62)

Closing — this PR was generated only as a validation test of the gh-aw v0.80.9 upgrade (#2092). The Learning Hub Updater (#2077) fails daily on main at the safe_outputs step; this run confirmed the upgrade fixes it (all jobs green and the PR was created successfully). Not a real content proposal, so closing to keep the repo clean.
