VS Code update adds background agents, enables Autopilot

The latest Visual Studio Code release updates the Agents window to support background sessions and a searchable picker. Autopilot is now enabled by default with improved task completion detection, alongside new enterprise controls for agent plugins.

// ANALYSIS

The persistent push to integrate more autonomous AI capabilities directly into the editor workflow is evident here, as background sessions prevent AI tasks from blocking developers. Moving agent sessions to the background makes the AI integration feel more native and less disruptive. Centralized plugin management for enterprises shows a clear focus on corporate adoption and security. The default enablement of Autopilot indicates increasing reliability of AI task execution in VS Code.
