Aditya Mer 2ad19f4fd5 feat(providers): migrate GitHub Copilot to official SDK
Replace custom device-flow OAuth and token exchange with the official
@github/copilot-sdk. The SDK manages a Copilot CLI subprocess for
authentication and API access.

Changes:
- Add @github/copilot-sdk dependency (v0.1.19)
- Create github-copilot-sdk.ts as core SDK wrapper
- Rename github-copilot-auth.ts to github-copilot-login.ts
- Merge github-copilot-token.ts into github-copilot-sdk.ts
- Remove extensions/copilot-proxy plugin entirely
- Update login flow to verify CLI auth status instead of device flow
- Add SDK-based model discovery via listCopilotModels()
- Update docs and UI labels to reflect SDK-based authentication
- Remove copilot-proxy from auth choices and plugin auto-enable

BREAKING CHANGE: GitHub Copilot now requires the Copilot CLI to be
installed and authenticated via 'copilot auth login' before use.

Github Copilot

What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant. It provides access to Copilot models for your GitHub account and plan. Moltbot uses the official @github/copilot-sdk to integrate with Copilot.

Prerequisites

The official SDK requires the Copilot CLI to be installed and authenticated:

# Install Copilot CLI (if not already installed)
npm install -g @github/copilot-cli

# Authenticate with GitHub
copilot auth login

CLI setup

After authenticating with the Copilot CLI, verify your auth in Moltbot:

moltbot models auth login-github-copilot

This checks your Copilot CLI authentication status and creates an auth profile.

Optional flags

moltbot models auth login-github-copilot --profile-id github-copilot:work
moltbot models auth login-github-copilot --yes

Set a default model

moltbot models set github-copilot/gpt-4o

Config snippet

{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "github-copilot/gpt-4o" } } }
}

Notes

  • Requires the Copilot CLI (copilot) to be installed and in your PATH.
  • Run copilot auth login first to authenticate with GitHub.
  • Model availability depends on your Copilot subscription plan.
  • The official SDK manages token exchange internally.
