### Release Analysis
<details>
<summary><b>View Release Details</b></summary>
#### Release Timing
Version 0.0.408 was published on **February 12, 2026**, just **one day** after version 0.0.407 (February 11, 2026). This rapid release cycle suggests:
- Potential hotfix or critical bug fix
- Minor enhancement or patch
- Possible regression fix from 0.0.407
#### Known Features from 0.0.407
The 0.0.407 release (published one day prior) included:
- Improved authentication error messaging
- Quota guidance enhancements
- Theme customization support
- `/on-air` mode for streaming
- `/instructions` command for custom instruction files
- Workspace-local MCP configuration support
- Streaming response retry on server errors
- Alternate screen buffer mode (`--alt-screen` flag)
#### Changes in 0.0.408
**Status**: Release notes not yet published on GitHub releases page.
The GitHub repository (https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/releases) shows releases from 0.0.407 down through 0.0.403, but **version 0.0.408 is not yet visible** on the releases page. This suggests:
1. The NPM package was published before the GitHub release notes
2. This may be a patch release with minimal changes
3. Release notes may be published shortly
**CLI Help Output**: Unable to capture due to permission restrictions in runner environment. The Copilot CLI requires write access to `/home/runner/.copilot/pkg` for package extraction.
</details>
### Breaking Changes
**Status**: Unknown - pending full release notes
Given the rapid release (1 day after 0.0.407) and minor version increment (0.0.407 → 0.0.408), breaking changes are **unlikely**. This appears to be a patch release.
### Impact Assessment
- **Risk Level**: Low-Medium
- Rapid release suggests possible hotfix
- Minor version increment indicates limited scope
- No visible breaking changes documented
- **Affected Features**: Unknown pending release notes
- **Testing Required**: Yes - per warning in `constants.go`, "UPGRADING COPILOT CLI REQUIRES A FULL INTEGRATION TEST RUN TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY"
### Recommendations
1. **Monitor for Release Notes**: Check https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/releases for version 0.0.408 release notes
2. **Integration Testing**: Run full integration test suite before merging (per constants.go warning)
3. **Complete Build**: Resolve Go 1.25.0 toolchain issue to complete `make recompile` step
4. **CLI Help Comparison**: Once build environment is fixed, capture and compare `copilot --help` and subcommand help outputs (especially `config` and `environment` commands)
### Build Issue
The `make recompile` step failed with:
```
go: downloading go1.25.0 (linux/amd64)
go: download go1.25.0: golang.org/toolchain@v0.0.1-go1.25.0.linux-amd64:
Get "(proxy.golang.org/redacted) Forbidden
This is a known issue from previous run (#21930621704). The Go 1.25.0 toolchain is not yet available on the Go proxy. This prevents workflow lock file regeneration but does not block the version constant update.
Next Steps
- Monitor for Go 1.25.0 toolchain availability
- Complete
make recompilewhen Go toolchain is available - Check for 0.0.408 release notes on GitHub
- Run integration tests to validate compatibility
- Capture CLI help outputs for both main and subcommands
