Feature Request: Stable Release Channel for Copilot CLI #5203
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
The rapid release cycle tends to introduce regressions, breaking daily use
Proposed solution
Introduction of separate release channels, similar to many other developer tools?
For example:
Stable: recommended for day-to-day work, updated less frequently and focused on reliability
Preview: rapid feature delivery and early access to changes
Example prompts or workflows
No response
Additional context
Recently, my workflow was broken by a regression that appears to be related to #5173. As a workaround, I pinned Copilot CLI to version 1.0.98.
Frequent releases can occasionally introduce regressions that impact day-to-day workflows.
A stable channel would allow users who prioritize reliability to upgrade at a slower pace, while users who want new features immediately could continue using a preview channel.
FYI, since you pinned to 1.0.98 because of #5173: that regression is fixed in 1.0.101, which went stable today. I re-ran the mkdir / git init / git worktree add / git clone + cd repros on 1.0.101 and they all work again, so it should be safe to unpin. Details: #5173 (comment)
