Tutorial update needed: /security-review and /memory commands not covered (v1.0.49–v1.0.51)

[github-actions]

Summary

The github/copilot-cli-for-beginners repository recently added coverage for /security-review and /memory commands (commit from 2026-05-25). These features have been available since CLI v1.0.49–v1.0.51 but are not mentioned in our tutorial. These are meaningful workflow features that learners should know about.

What changed

• /security-review (v1.0.51): A slash command that performs security review of code, including secret scanning for commits/PRs
• /memory on|off|show (v1.0.49): Controls persistent session memory — Copilot remembers preferences and context across sessions

Source: github/copilot-cli-for-beginners@2f83ded

Tutorial sections that need updating

• Lesson 14 (Session Management) — /memory fits naturally alongside /compact, /clear, and /resume as a session management tool
• Lesson 11 (Code Review) or a security-focused lesson — /security-review is a natural complement to the code review workflow
• Lesson 3 (Context) — /memory relates to how Copilot retains context across sessions

Suggested changes

1. Add /memory on|off|show to the session management lesson, explaining how it persists preferences and project context across sessions
2. Add /security-review to the code review workflow lesson, showing how it can scan for security issues and secrets
3. Update command reference tables to include both commands
4. Consider a brief exercise where learners enable /memory and observe how Copilot remembers a preference in a new session
