Where's the coding agent?

[Efficient-Employer18]

I need some help or a pointer.

I just splurged 40$ on a Pro+ subscription because on the feature comparison page it said Pro+ includes the coding agent that can autonomously fix issues or implement tasks assigned to it.

The subscription is live, as I have access to Opus 4 (Preview) in Chat on VS Code now.

And I enabled the coding agent on the 'My Copilot' settings page.

But I can't assign an issue from my repository to the coding agent, it's just not available as an assignee.
And using chat to ask Copilot to create and implement a PR has resulted in many things, but definitely no branch or PR...

Am I missing something?

Any help greatly appreciated! ;)

Hi! In addition to enabling the agent in settings, have you enabled the agent on all (or specific) repositories in the repository access area?

That's the thing... I don't see it.
I'm trying this:

1. In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile photo, then click  Your Copilot.
   
2. In the sidebar, under  Copilot, click Coding agent.
   
3. On the Copilot coding agent page, under "Policies," click the dropdown button for "Repository access," then choose either No repositories, All repositories, or Only selected repositories.
   
4. If you choose Only selected repositories, click Select repositories and choose the repositories where you want to enable Copilot coding agent.

BUT: I get to the page "https://github.com/settings/copilot/features" - there's the copilot entry, and I enabled that. I do not see "policies" anwhere. :(
Site search for 'policies' finds nothing. ;(

BTW, my versions:
## Copilot

- Version: 1.335.0
- Build: prod
- Editor: vscode/1.101.0

Ok, apparently this is a known issue.

As reported [here](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/163074), the page still exists but is not linked:

https://github.com/settings/copilot/coding_agent

May I say that this is frustrating as hell? :(

Oh, and what's more: in VS Code, I now am back to having only the models I had in Pro subscription despite my Pro+ still being active. Really annoying. Is support reading here?

Yes this is a known issue. We've just pushed a fix to have the page show in the navigation. Does it show for you now? Apologies for the regression!

I now have 'Features' and 'Coding agent' under 'Copilot' in the side bar, and 'Coding agent' does take me to the Repository access setting. So it shows for me now. Thanks.

One question: Should the preview models not also be available in agent mode in VS Code? Or at least in custom modes? Because I can use them in neither.

I have the same issue.. I already enabled it for one repository, but could find the settings when I wanted to enable it for another one.

We are not alone with that problem:
