GitHub Copilot Adds a Sentry Canvas, Taking Errors From Crash Report to Fix Inside the App
GitHub’s week-of-September-14 Copilot release roundup is headlined by a new Sentry integration that brings crash reports directly into the Copilot app for investigation and fixing.
Details
- Sentry canvas: a new canvas in the Copilot app lets developers go “from crash report to code fix” — reviewing errors and stack traces, investigating root causes with Copilot, validating a fix, and preparing a pull request without leaving the app
- Local Dev Container support: agents can now run inside local Dev Containers, rolling out gradually
- Automatic session cleanup: sessions can now clean up automatically once their pull request merges, available as an opt-in preview
- PR creation from Agent Host: pull requests can now be created directly from Agent Host sessions
- Also in this roundup: the three-tier auto model selection (efficiency/balance/intelligence), code review’s auto-resolution and shell-tool validation, VS Code Agents window usage metrics, custom property value suggestions, and generally available budget increase requests — all separately detailed in GitHub’s own changelog entries this month
What happened next
The Sentry canvas extends Copilot’s reach from writing and reviewing code into production error triage, letting a debugging workflow that previously spanned a monitoring dashboard and an IDE happen in one place — continuing GitHub’s pattern of pulling adjacent developer tools directly into the Copilot app rather than just linking out to them.
