GitHub Copilot for JetBrains adds improved OpenTelemetry configuration and model management

GitHub Copilot for JetBrains receives a feature update adding OpenTelemetry export configuration for agent workflows, token limit controls (maxInputToken/maxOutputToken) for BYOK and custom endpoints, and the ability to enable/disable built-in Copilot models. MCP servers and custom agents can now be used directly in Claude agent flows. Copilot CLI sessions gain fork support, a /rubber-duck command, and a todo list view. Enterprise users now see AI credit consumption when no user-level budget is configured. UX improvements cover the model/action picker, inline chat layout, session prompt rendering, MCP diagnostics, and URL display in the CLI harness.
