As of September 1, 2026, Visual Studio Code 1.135 has officially transitioned the IDE into an autonomous agent host. The update introduces External Session Continuity, allowing developers to start agentic workflows in browser-based tools and resume them seamlessly within the local editor. Furthermore, the experimental /rubber-duck command now enables a multi-model "sanity check," where a secondary LLM (such as Claude or Gemini) audits the primary agent's proposed architectural changes before execution, drastically reducing hallucinations in large-scale refactors.
