VS Code 1.380 Adds 3 AI Coding Features, Expands Codex Across ChatGPT and Dev Containers

Summary
Released Sept. 16, VS Code 1.380 lets agent sessions run inside a local project’s Dev Container, so AI coding agents use the project’s configured environment and dependencies instead of the host machine’s.
Codex support was broadened in the agent host, allowing developers to continue the same session between the ChatGPT app and VS Code and switch between Copilot-backed and ChatGPT-backed models without losing the conversation.
If the ChatGPT app is installed for computer use, VS Code can reuse that setup for Codex interactions with desktop apps, while also giving Codex access to VS Code extensions and Model Context Protocol tools.
A preview cleanup feature can suggest closing inactive agent sessions once all pull requests are merged and can automatically delete merged sessions after a set number of days while preserving the conversation history.
Agent automations are now enabled by default and can be scheduled, exported, imported, or shared across environments, extending the release beyond session management into repeatable AI workflows.
