What happened

The threat detection results could not be parsed.

Review the workflow run logs for details.

Summary

Reviewed the past week of GitHub Copilot updates (github.blog/changelog, copilot-cli changelog, github/app changelog) against the Learning Hub pages and found the Copilot app page (github-copilot-app.md) was missing coverage of several recently shipped app features.

New features found (from github/app changelog v1.1.3–v1.1.5)

  • Stacked pull request support in Agent Merge (stack summary in the merge drawer, merge a whole stack together)
  • Requesting Copilot code reviews — and re-requesting from reviewers who already responded — directly from the app
  • Closing the main window now keeps the app running in the background (tray/dock), so sessions and automations keep running
  • New Worktree location setting in Settings > Sessions to customize where session worktrees are created

Other changes reviewed (milestone editing, disk space banner, permission-mode alignment with the CLI, CLI plugin/marketplace and sandbox improvements) were either minor UI polish or already adequately covered by existing pages (e.g. installing-and-using-plugins.md, last updated 2026-08-04, already documents Open Plugin Spec v1 and mcp.json), so no further edits were made there.

Sections updated

  • website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/github-copilot-app.md:
    • Agent Merge section: added stacked PR support
    • New "Requesting Code Reviews" subsection
    • Isolated Worktrees section: added Worktree location setting
    • New "Running in the Background" subsection
    • Added a "Further Reading" section linking to the app and CLI changelogs
    • Bumped lastUpdated

Sources

No new page was warranted — these are incremental refinements to existing app functionality rather than a standalone new capability.
