GitHub Copilot adds VS Code Agents metrics
GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Enterprise admins can now quantify adoption of the dedicated VS Code Agents window separately from standard autocomplete.
- →New API fields provide daily active user counts and message totals for specific agent workflows.
- →This granularity helps organizations justify spending on agentic features versus general coding assistance.
GitHub has updated its Copilot usage metrics API to include data specifically for the dedicated VS Code Agents window. The new optional fields, such as daily_active_vscode_agent_users and totals_by_vscode_agent, allow enterprise owners and billing managers to track adoption and engagement over 1-day and 28-day periods. These metrics are distinct from general editor-window Agent Mode usage, providing granular insight into how teams utilize autonomous agent features. Access requires the Copilot usage metrics policy to be enabled.

Claude Code v2.1.265 patches agent stability and plugin loading
This release stabilizes the core agent loop by fixing critical bugs in prompt caching and subagent resume logic that previously broke context reuse. Plugin management gets a significant upgrade with dynamic folder scanning, allowing developers to hot-load tools without restarting the session. The update also hardens security around symlink traversal and refines telemetry routing for enterprise gateways. While not feature-heavy, these fixes make Claude Code more reliable for complex, multi-step coding workflows.

Claude Code v2.1.266 fixes gateway regression
Anthropic quietly patched a regression in Claude Code that broke LLM-gateway and proxy setups. The previous version incorrectly forced Cloud-gateway sign-in when the CLAUDE_CODE_USE_GATEWAY variable was set, even with API keys or custom auth headers configured. This update restores the expected behavior where the variable is ignored unless specific Anthropic credentials are present. Developers relying on custom authentication flows can now resume their workflows without configuration changes.
