Copilot Sessions

Launchpad HQ provides deep introspection of GitHub Copilot sessions through the daemon's SDK bridge.

How It Works

The daemon uses @github/copilot-sdk (technical preview) to:

• Discover active Copilot sessions in the project
• Stream conversation events in real-time
• Inject prompts into active sessions
• Register custom tools for HQ coordination

HQ never talks to the SDK directly — the daemon acts as the bridge.

Sessions Panel

The right pane's Copilot Sessions section shows:

• Active session count with badge
• Session cards with expandable conversation view (lazy-loaded)
• Real-time updates via WebSocket

SDK vs CLI Mode

Configure your preference during onboarding or in Settings:

Mode	Description
SDK	Full @github/copilot-sdk integration. Deep session introspection, event streaming, prompt injection.
CLI	Simpler GitHub Copilot CLI interaction. Limited introspection.

Custom Tools

The daemon registers HQ-aware tools with the Copilot SDK:

• report_progress — Report task progress back to HQ
• request_human_review — Flag items needing human attention
• report_blocker — Signal blocking issues

These tools appear in the Attention Items section of the sessions panel.
