Jon Shapiro 92697edb7c fix(venice): add compat settings to prevent HTTP 400 errors
Venice's API doesn't support certain OpenAI-compatible parameters that
Clawdbot sends by default:

- `store`: Venice returns HTTP 400 with no body when this is present
- `developer` role: Not supported by Venice's API

This adds VENICE_COMPAT settings (supportsStore: false,
supportsDeveloperRole: false) to all Venice model definitions, both
from the static catalog and dynamically discovered models.

Fixes issues reported in PR #1666 where users experienced silent
failures (HTTP 400, no body) when using Venice models.

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. Clawdbot can use Copilot as a model provider in two different ways.

Two ways to use Copilot in Clawdbot

1) Built-in GitHub Copilot provider (github-copilot)

Use the native device-login flow to obtain a GitHub token, then exchange it for Copilot API tokens when Clawdbot runs. This is the default and simplest path because it does not require VS Code.

2) Copilot Proxy plugin (copilot-proxy)

Use the Copilot Proxy VS Code extension as a local bridge. Clawdbot talks to the proxys /v1 endpoint and uses the model list you configure there. Choose this when you already run Copilot Proxy in VS Code or need to route through it. You must enable the plugin and keep the VS Code extension running.

Use GitHub Copilot as a model provider (github-copilot). The login command runs the GitHub device flow, saves an auth profile, and updates your config to use that profile.

CLI setup

clawdbot models auth login-github-copilot

You'll be prompted to visit a URL and enter a one-time code. Keep the terminal open until it completes.

Optional flags

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

Set a default model

clawdbot models set github-copilot/gpt-4o

Config snippet

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

Notes

  • Requires an interactive TTY; run it directly in a terminal.
  • Copilot model availability depends on your plan; if a model is rejected, try another ID (for example github-copilot/gpt-4.1).
  • The login stores a GitHub token in the auth profile store and exchanges it for a Copilot API token when Clawdbot runs.
