What this episode covers

This episode dives into the new GitHub Copilot app — a hub for agent sessions, multi‑repo orchestration, PR‑first workflows, automations and the new canvas metaphor for triage and planning. James and Frank unpack how sessions can spawn and coordinate across repositories, agent‑aware merges that respect CI and code review, support for local models and extensions, and the token tradeoffs to be aware of. The canvas demos (swipe‑to‑triage, Kanban agent assignment) show how Copilot is trying to move beyond chat windows into real UX for developer workflows. They also tour Windows dev work: embracing WinUI for native apps, using a Windows developer setup script, packaging and Winget publishing, and the power of Visual Studio 2026 for debugging, profiling and live XAML edits. If you ship apps or want agent-driven workflows, this episode is full of practical tips and honest caveats.
