Enterprises can default to auto model selection

Enterprise administrators can now set model to auto in the enterprise managed-settings.json to make Copilot auto model selection the default for new conversations.

Add auto to .github-private/.github/copilot/managed-settings.json in your source organization for enterprise governance so new conversations start with Copilot auto model selection by default. Users can still switch to a different model on a per-conversation basis. GitHub Copilot automatically pulls and applies these settings for users licensed through your enterprise account with Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise.

Backward compatability

• The model permission is available in VS Code 1.126+
• The supported path for AI standards is copilot/managed-settings.json, with backward compatibility for .github/copilot/settings.json.
• If you’ve already configured a source organization for custom agents, this setting uses that same .github-private repository. You can confirm that your configuration is active on the Agents page under AI controls in your enterprise settings.
