Document two new CLI slash commands introduced in Copilot CLI v1.0.45
(released 2026-05-11):
- /autopilot: toggle between interactive and autopilot modes mid-session
- /fork: copy the current session into a new independent session
Both are added to the 'CLI Session Commands' section of the
Copilot Configuration Basics learning hub page.

Add documentation for features shipped in Copilot CLI v1.0.40 and
the v1.0.41 prerelease builds that weren't yet covered in the Hub:
- copilot-configuration-basics.md: document --attachment flag for
attaching images/documents in prompt mode (-p)
- automating-with-hooks.md: extend the prompt mode security callout
to cover the new GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS env var
(user extensions load by default; project extensions need opt-in)
- building-custom-agents.md: note that ACP clients receive the
agent's live plan in real time for multi-step tasks (v1.0.40+)

- automating-with-hooks.md: Add prompt mode security gate note (v1.0.40)

GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_WORKSPACE_MCP env vars
- agents-and-subagents.md: Add /research orchestrator/subagent note (v1.0.40)
and prompt mode security cross-reference for /fleet -p examples
- building-custom-agents.md: Document ACP agent list/switch capability (v1.0.40)
— ACP clients can now list and switch custom agents via agent config option

Document the /compact, /context, and /usage slash commands in the
Copilot Configuration Basics page. These commands were not covered
in the main Learning Hub (outside the separate cli-for-beginners
track), but are broadly useful for interactive and ACP sessions:
- /context: visualize context window token usage
- /usage: display per-session token and API call metrics
- /compact: summarize conversation history to reclaim context space
- Note that all four (/env included) now work in ACP sessions (v1.0.39+)
- Note that ACP clients can toggle allow-all mode via session
configuration without a slash command (v1.0.39+)
