Kingy AI Take
GitHub shipped Copilot agent session streaming in public preview, exposing agent work in progress rather than hiding activity until a session completes (github.blog). Developers and Engineering Teams adopting coding agents get the visibility layer that supervision needs. Streaming shows more of what an agent is doing but decides nothing about the output, so keep normal review on whatever a session produces.
