Copilot CLI 1.0.86 stops autopilot from running past an accepted task and recovers sessions from corrupt transcripts

Published 2026-09-17, v1.0.86 fixes autopilot continuing unexpectedly after a task was accepted as complete, resumes sessions even when transcript files contain recoverable corruption, and preserves marketplace plugins and skills across a reload when a config read or validation fails (previously those failures discarded active plugins). The status row now says it is waiting for background shells rather than "Working" when a turn ends with an attached dev server still running, and `/sandbox` policy reports local-network access from your configured setting. The autopilot fix is the one to care about: an agent that kept going after the task was accepted was burning tokens against already-finished work.
