Enterprise-managed settings now support autoUpdate for plugin marketplaces
GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise now allow organizations to enable automatic updates for individual plugin marketplaces via enterprise-managed settings. This new capability, available in the Copilot app, CLI, and Visual Studio Code, lets administrators set `autoUpdate: true` for `extraKnownMarketplaces` entries. It streamlines plugin maintenance by ensuring supported clients automatically update installed plugins, provided the marketplace is on the `strictKnownMarketplaces` allowlist.
