A comparison of three 2026 cases: Anthropic's Claude Code postmortem, GitHub's August outage accounts and vendor statements after September 3 outages, with sourcing noted per case.
GitHub announced a Copilot training opt-out and published Claude Fable retention terms; researchers reported Grok Build and ZCode uploading repositories. The Herald compares where each control sat and how the fixes were checked.
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Cloud publish different minimum notice periods for retiring AI models; the Herald's date arithmetic puts GitHub Copilot's notices at 31 to 32 days, and one OpenAI notice ran about three months.
Apple, Google, JetBrains and GitHub document running other vendors' coding agents in Xcode, Android Studio, Air and GitHub; their pages differ on who lists the agents, which account is used and what usage and audit data they describe.
GitHub and JetBrains say Copilot can run in Air locally or in cloud sandboxes billed to Copilot plans, but Air does not track Copilot credits, show its usage or set spending limits.
Apple's Xcode 27.3 beta 1 release notes list GitHub Copilot in the coding assistant; GitHub calls it a public preview supporting all Copilot plans on macOS Tahoe 26.6 or later.
GitHub's October 28 changelog entries describe general availability for Agentic Workflows and Copilot Fusion, shared Copilot Automations, and a public preview of Copilot Projects.
GitHub's October 26 changelog says assisted permissions, which use a language model to judge permission requests, are generally available; its docs say the feature is not a substitute for sandboxing.
GitHub's Copilot usage metrics API gained a totals_by_client array on October 23 and named custom skills, agents and MCP servers on October 22, with caveats on undercounting.
GitHub's Copilot CLI changelog lists permissions.limitTo in 1.0.93 and a managed-policy option to disable Assisted Permissions in 1.0.94; GitHub's docs page does not describe either.
GitHub made Copilot local sandboxing generally available, added local Ollama model discovery to its CLI, and Microsoft detailed a 53GB on-device MAI Code 1.1 Flash.
GitHub put dynamic workflows in public preview across Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and the Copilot SDK, letting developers define in code when agents run and how results are used.
