Local sandboxing in the GitHub Copilot app
GitHub released in public preview local sandboxing for the GitHub Copilot app — distinct from Microsoft 365 Copilot — restricting access to files, network resources, and Git or GitHub CLI credentials during local repository sessions. The feature is disabled by default, configured per project for new sessions or activated via `/sandbox on`, and aborts with an error if the host operating system cannot enforce the requested policy. The restriction does not apply to cloud sandboxes or remote host sessions, and its settings remain separate from Copilot CLI.
