# GitHub Copilot weekly releases — September 7

By Steven Van · 2026-09-10

Jira issues reach the Copilot app, CLI gets adaptive model routing, VS Code adds scheduled agent tasks, and JetBrains gains enterprise sandbox controls.

This week's [GitHub](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/github>) Copilot changelog touches four surfaces: the Copilot app, Copilot CLI, VS Code, and Copilot for JetBrains.

- Copilot app: Jira issues can now be pulled into a shared canvas, where you choose which ones move forward and Copilot carries the context through investigation, implementation, and pull request preparation.

- Copilot CLI: a new option called Project HydraFusion is available in /experimental. Selected like any other model, it automatically routes each task between local, cloud, and compound models to balance performance, cost, and latency.

- VS Code 1.137: agent tasks can now be scheduled to run hourly, daily, or weekly, or triggered on demand, through a new automations feature in public preview. An experimental voice mode lets you talk to, interrupt, or redirect Copilot while it works.

- Copilot for JetBrains: [enterprise-managed sandbox policies](<https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-08-enterprise-managed-sandbox-in-copilot-for-jetbrains/>) are now in public preview. Administrators can centrally control sandbox enablement, filesystem and network access, proxy settings, developer-tool access, and macOS Keychain access, and these managed restrictions take precedence over a user's own settings.
