GitHub Security Lab's Fuzzing Taskflow Automates Fuzzing with LLM Agents

GitHub Security Lab released the Fuzzing Taskflow, an open-source autonomous fuzzing pipeline for C/C++ projects built on the Security Lab Taskflow Agent framework. It accepts a repository, then uses an LLM agent to identify entrypoints, analyze builds, write harnesses, run AFL++, read coverage reports, improve harnesses, triage crashes, and write vulnerability reports without a human in the loop. The pipeline features a coverage-feedback loop with plateau detection, structure-aware input genera

GitHub Copilot app rearchitects pull request rendering for million-line diffs

GitHub detailed engineering work on rendering extremely large pull requests in its Copilot app, using a 2,200-file, million-line open source PR with 400+ inline comments as a test case. The team split diff height into a deterministic code geometry and a separate dynamic block geometry for comments, then added a batched measurement scheduler with anchored scroll corrections. The backend streams diff structure before content and defers work like syntax highlighting. The result is a PR view where h
