## The brief

GitHub's redesigned dashboard is now the default, bringing active agent sessions, issues and pull requests into one workspace. Filters control each list, while news updates live in a separate Feed tab. Users can start Copilot work from the dashboard or switch back to the previous experience through the preview dropdown.
