Microsoft Agent Framework for .NET shipped dotnet-1.17.0 on Aug. 4, and the release is a real runtime cleanup rather than a cosmetic bump: Durable Task and Azure Functions integrations were split out, the Handoff sample now handles user input correctly, and declarative workflows now fail when an agent returns an error instead of limping on.

GitHub Copilot SDK v1.0.9-preview.3 adds the most useful session-level control surface I’ve seen in this wave: per-session GitHub MCP configuration, disableFormDeferral for autonomous writes, per-session experimental-mode toggles, additional working directories, and a managedApprovalRequired flag so enterprise approvals can’t be silently auto-accepted.

GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.79-1 quietly breaks a sandbox setting rename that matters in managed environments: allowDevToolCaches is now allowDevToolAccess, which broadens the scope to dev-tool config and registries too. The same build also fixes inaccurate /context attribution, improves prompt/session persistence, and lets sandbox-blocked Linux commands offer a rerun outside the sandbox.
