Summary

  • Make the GPT-5.5 large prompt the only/default GPT-5.5 prompt, matching the GPT-5.4 cleanup pattern.
  • Remove the github.copilot.chat.gpt55LargePromptSections.enabled and github.copilot.chat.gpt55EconomicalSearchAndEdit.enabled experiment settings, config keys, and capability helpers.
  • Delete the unused GPT-5.5 large-prompt and economical-prompt variant files so Gpt55PromptResolver always resolves to Gpt55Prompt for GPT-5.5 models.

Testing

  • npm run precommit
  • Lightweight TSX transpile check for the remaining GPT-5.5 prompt files

Note: cd extensions/copilot && npm run typecheck passed earlier on this branch, but rerunning the full Copilot typecheck after the final cleanup was blocked locally by disk-space limits while reinstalling Copilot dependencies.

Pull request overview

This PR makes GPT-5.5’s “large prompt sections” the default by inlining those sections directly into the shared Gpt55PromptBase, and removes the now-obsolete experiment/config plumbing that previously toggled them. The only remaining GPT-5.5 prompt variant is the economical search-and-edit experiment, now layered on top of the default large-prompt baseline.

Changes:

  • Removed the github.copilot.chat.gpt55LargePromptSections.enabled experiment setting and related capability helper (isGpt55LargePromptSectionsExp) + config key wiring.
  • Deleted the unused GPT-5.5 large-prompt prompt variants (gpt55LargePrompt.tsx) and simplified the GPT-5.5 prompt resolver accordingly.
  • Updated Gpt55PromptBase to always include the previously-gated “large prompt sections”, while keeping the economical search-and-edit variant behind its experiment.
