GitHub Adds Governance to Enterprise Settings
GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Enhances enterprise control over AI tool permissions.
- →Prevents unauthorized actions by enforcing permission prompts.
- →Aligns AI tool usage with organizational governance policies.
GitHub has enhanced its enterprise-managed settings by allowing administrators to disable automatic permission bypasses in GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code. This new feature, part of the governance capabilities, prevents the automatic skipping of permission prompts, known as 'yolo mode'. It is implemented through the enterprise-managed settings.json file and applies to users with Copilot Business or Enterprise licenses. This update builds on existing enterprise-managed plugins, reinforcing organizational control over AI tool usage.

GitHub Copilot adds in-product settings validator
GitHub Copilot now validates enterprise managed settings directly in the UI, catching malformed JSON and invalid team mappings before they break policy enforcement. This shifts validation from a silent failure mode to an explicit feedback loop, saving admins from debugging why their AI controls aren't applying. By pointing to specific files and JSON paths, it reduces the friction of managing .github-private repositories at scale. It’s a pragmatic fix for a common enterprise pain point rather than a new capability.

Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
