VS Code 1.123 Adds Cross-Device AI Session History and Extension Update Safety Pause
By
Markus Kasanmascheff
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.123, introducing portable AI-session history that syncs across devices via GitHub accounts, enabling developers to preserve Copilot and agent workflow context (conversations, files, repository info, timestamps, and references) when moving between machines. The update also includes /chronicle commands for accessing past sessions and a safety pause on third-party extension updates to ensure more stable daily agent workflows.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledDevelopers who move between machines, repositories, and remote environments now get a clearer record of agent work without relying on a single local session.
For Copilot and agent workflows, VS Code 1.123 treats AI-assisted coding as a multi-step task that can span devices.
Synced history can preserve conversations, touched files, repository context, timestamps, and referenced pull requests or issues through a GitHub account instead of leaving them behind.
