Question 410
Two independently scoped GitHub Copilot requirements are being reviewed. Requirement A: A developer plans to start a new GitHub Spark prototype after the announced end of new-app creation. Requirement B: A team asks a coding agent to update a repository issue and then open a pull request for review. Select the TWO actions that address A and B without replacing either with a different control.
Explanation
Correct Answers
This action addresses requirement A: A developer plans to start a new GitHub Spark prototype after the announced end of new-app creation. GitHub Spark announced the end of new users and new apps on August 4, 2026; existing Spark-app availability does not imply new-app enrollment. Verify by observing: The proposed new prototype is started through an available supported IDE or agent workflow rather than a Spark creation action that is no longer offered.
This action addresses requirement B: A team asks a coding agent to update a repository issue and then open a pull request for review. Agent-delivered code is subject to the normal repository change-control process rather than direct unreviewed production adoption. Verify by observing: The agent produces a traceable PR with only the requested issue changes; the reviewer verifies the diff, tests and permissions before merge.
Incorrect Answers
Generated PR summaries help navigation but do not replace examining the diff. The two requirements instead call for these controls: (A) Use a currently supported Copilot coding workflow for new prototypes; GitHub Spark stopped accepting new users and new application creation on August 4, 2026, so do not promise a new Spark project; (B) Delegate the scoped repository issue to an authorized Copilot coding agent, require its change proposal to remain in a reviewable pull request and apply existing branch protections and CI.
Inline suggestions complement chat rather than replacing code review. The two requirements instead call for these controls: (A) Use a currently supported Copilot coding workflow for new prototypes; GitHub Spark stopped accepting new users and new application creation on August 4, 2026, so do not promise a new Spark project; (B) Delegate the scoped repository issue to an authorized Copilot coding agent, require its change proposal to remain in a reviewable pull request and apply existing branch protections and CI.
This response targets another problem: A developer wants a reusable prompt for a recurring review task rather than retyping it. It does not directly satisfy either stated requirement A or B. Prompt files are manually invoked reusable task templates, distinct from automatically supplied `.github/copilot-instructions.md` repository guidance; support varies by client.
