Per v1.0.69-3 (2026-07-07), the /allow-all auto mode now requires
experimental features to be active (/experimental on or --experimental).
The previous AUTO_APPROVAL env var approach has been removed.
Update the auto allow-all mode note in Copilot Configuration Basics
to document the experimental mode requirement and activation steps.

Document three new CLI commands from Copilot CLI v1.0.66 (2026-06-30):
- /pr auto: self-paced loop that fixes one failing item per run and
paces around CI to drive a PR to green

merged (CI passes, reviews approved, PR merged)

draft skill changes (accept, reject, or defer each draft)
Changes:
- copilot-configuration-basics.md: add /pr auto + /pr automerge section
in CLI Session Commands, extend /chronicle section with skills review
subcommand

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+)
