Visual Studio Code 1.141 Adds Cross-Platform Sandboxing for AI Agents

Visual Studio Code 1.141 makes cross-platform sandboxing generally available in the Copilot agent host across Windows, macOS, and Linux to limit what autonomous agents can reach on your machine. The update also lets you continue agent sessions live between VS Code, the Copilot app, and the Codex CLI without reloading, while a new grid layout helps you juggle multiple conversations at once. Microsoft is tightening enterprise control with enforceable sandboxing, session attribution telemetry, and a smoother migration to unified managed settings, and finally retired the single-value github-enterprise.uri setting in favor of a list-based alternative. It's a consolidating release that doubles down on VS Code's pivot from a code editor to a control center for code-writing agents.
