docs: update Learning Hub with CLI v1.0.40–v1.0.41 features (#1626)
Add documentation for features shipped in Copilot CLI v1.0.40 and the v1.0.41 prerelease builds that weren't yet covered in the Hub: - copilot-configuration-basics.md: document --attachment flag for attaching images/documents in prompt mode (-p) - automating-with-hooks.md: extend the prompt mode security callout to cover the new GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS env var (user extensions load by default; project extensions need opt-in) - building-custom-agents.md: note that ACP clients receive the agent's live plan in real time for multi-step tasks (v1.0.40+) Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Similarly, workspace MCP servers are disabled in prompt mode by default; opt in with `GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_WORKSPACE_MCP=true`. Extensions follow a mixed model (v1.0.41+): **user-level extensions** (from `~/.copilot/`) load automatically in prompt mode, but **project-level extensions and management tools** are disabled by default — opt in with `GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS=true` to load them.

In Copilot CLI, custom agents are discoverable via the agent picker inside a session. Clients that integrate with Copilot CLI using the **Agent Coordination Protocol (ACP)** can also list available custom agents and switch between them programmatically via the `agent` session configuration option (v1.0.40+). This allows tools like Zed, Neovim plugins, and CI pipelines driving Copilot via ACP to surface the agent picker and switch agents without requiring a slash command.

ACP clients also receive the agent's **live plan** as it works through multi-step tasks (v1.0.40+), so they can display real-time progress to their users without waiting for each turn to complete.

The `--attachment` flag (available in prompt mode, `-p`) lets you attach files — images or native documents — to the initial prompt in non-interactive mode:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
copilot -p "Summarize the architecture shown in these diagrams" \
|
||||||
|
--attachment arch-overview.png \
|
||||||
|
--attachment data-flow.pdf
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is useful in automated pipelines where you want to pass visual or document context (screenshots, design specs, PDF reports) to the model without interactive file selection. Multiple `--attachment` flags can be specified to include several files at once.
