Visual Studio Code 1.136.2 Released: Agent Host Session Fix and Tab Close Button Patch
Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.136.2, delivering quick patches for two distinct issues introduced just days ago in the 1.136 feature drop. The update resolves a session state bug where Copilot Agent Host sessions would remain stuck in an "In Progress" state after subagent completion, alongside a regression fix for the tab close button that could accidentally trigger "Close Others." These refinements build on the 1.136 release's major architectural shift toward agent orchestration, which introduced the open Agent Host Protocol and experimental features like Agent Merge for automating pull request reviews. Developers can install the patch immediately via the auto-update mechanism or manually from the official downloads page to ensure their multi-root agent sessions behave correctly.
