// What happened

Nothing’s wrong with GitHub that Downrightnow can see right now, and things look to be working for most people. User reports are quiet, DNS is resolving normally, and there’s no chatter signal, but synthetic checks haven’t been measured recently so smaller issues could be missed. On GitHub’s official status page, a minor incident titled “Disruption with Copilot Coding Agent sessions” is listed as resolved.
