Bump GitHub.Copilot.SDK from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8

[dependabot]

Updated GitHub.Copilot.SDK from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8.

Release notes

Sourced from GitHub.Copilot.SDK's releases.

1.0.8

Installation

⚠️ Artifact versioning plan: Releases of this implementation track releases of the reference implementation. For each release of the reference implementation, there may follow a corresponding release of this implementation with the same number as the reference implementation. Release identifiers of the reference implementation are in the form vMaj.Min.Micro. For example v0.1.32. The corresponding maven version for the release will be Maj.Min.Micro-java.N, where Maj, Min and Micro are the corresponding numbers for the reference implementation release, and N is a monotonically increasing sequence number starting with 0 for each release. See the corresponding architectural decision record for more information in the docs/adr directory of the source code.

Feature: per-agent reasoning effort

CustomAgentConfig now accepts an optional reasoningEffort field that controls the reasoning intensity for a specific sub-agent. Omitting it inherits the session-level effort; omitting it at both levels leaves the choice to the backend. (#​1981)

CustomAgentConfig agent = new CustomAgentConfig()
    .setName("coder")
    .setReasoningEffort("high");

Other changes

• improvement: [Java] strongly type the internal expAssignments session-config field with CopilotExpAssignmentResponse to match the runtime wire contract (#​2033)

Feature: per-agent reasoning effort

You can now set a reasoningEffort override on individual custom agents within a session. When omitted, no per-agent override is sent and the backend chooses its default. (#​1981)

CustomAgentConfig agent = new CustomAgentConfig()
    .setName("my-agent")
    .setModel("claude-sonnet-4-5")
    .setReasoningEffort("high");
