Copilot CLI: New terminal interface is generally available

What's new

• Tabbed layout: top-bar tabs for default Session, Gists and (inside a repo) Issues and Pull requests.
• In-session MCP setup: /mcp add interactive form or /mcp search GitHub MCP Registry — no more hand-editing config files.
• Theme-aware semantic colors: responsive components that adapt to narrow terminals without truncating text.
• Cleaner, accessible UI: complete redesign focused on readability and keyboard navigation.

Why it matters

Copilot CLI was previously a flat stream with no context — the new tabs turn it into a full terminal workspace for repo workflows. MCP setup inside the session removes one of the biggest agent-tooling friction points.
