Document two new CLI slash commands introduced in Copilot CLI v1.0.45
(released 2026-05-11):
- /autopilot: toggle between interactive and autopilot modes mid-session

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+)

Document the /compact, /context, and /usage slash commands in the
Copilot Configuration Basics page. These commands were not covered
in the main Learning Hub (outside the separate cli-for-beginners
track), but are broadly useful for interactive and ACP sessions:
- /context: visualize context window token usage
- /usage: display per-session token and API call metrics
- /compact: summarize conversation history to reclaim context space
- Note that all four (/env included) now work in ACP sessions (v1.0.39+)
- Note that ACP clients can toggle allow-all mode via session
configuration without a slash command (v1.0.39+)
