FIG-0011:1

`GitHub Copilot` for `Visual Studio` adds cloud agents, user-level custom agents, and a debugger agent

Visual Studio is moving from inline assist to full agent workflows inside the IDE. Useful if you already live in Microsoft tooling; less urgent if your stack is centered on lighter editors.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Cloud agent sessions now start directly from the IDE, cutting friction for remote agent runs and longer tasks.
  2. Custom agents gain user-level support, so personal workflows no longer need team-wide setup or admin overhead.
  3. A new Debugger agent can validate issues during debugging, pushing Copilot closer to task execution instead of suggestion-only use.
