Copilot weekly releases: VS Code 1.141 shows agent sessions side by side in a grid and cleans up idle worktrees by disk usage
Two practical problems once you run agents in parallel: watching them at once, and reclaiming the disk their worktrees take.
// Key points
- In VS Code 1.141 the Agents window can show several agent sessions side by side, arranged in a grid, to compare results or follow multiple tasks.
- A new “Open worktree cleanup” option in chat shows how much disk space inactive sessions’ worktrees use and lets you choose which to remove.
- The Copilot app now lets you use one GitHub account for your license and another for repositories, such as an enterprise-provided license with repos under a personal account.
Builder's takeRead with Codex CLI’s managed worktrees from 10-10, every vendor now assumes you run several agents at once, and the tooling follows: comparing results and reclaiming disk. In a large repo each worktree is a full checkout, so cap parallel sessions and clear idle worktrees weekly.
