VS Code 1.106 adds Agent HQ, improves security & AI trust, and enhances coding experience

Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code version 1.106, featuring Agent HQ as a new hub for managing, monitoring, and reviewing agent sessions across local and remote environments. This feature integrates with tools like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex, providing a consolidated view for users working with AI-powered assistance.

Alongside this, the update enhances security and trust settings. These improvements make it easier for users to maintain control when handing off tasks to artificial intelligence, addressing growing requirements for safe delegation in development workflows. The 1.106 release also includes multiple enhancements aimed at refining the daily code editing experience. These upgrades focus on making code writing smoother and interactions with the editor more intuitive.

For those on Apple hardware, version 1.106 will be the last release to support macOS 11.0 Big Sur. Future updates will require more recent versions of the operating system. The update is rounded out by a series of bug fixes, increasing stability and reliability for the broad Visual Studio Code user base.
