Summary
Running
npm run devon Linux/macOS caused Copilot SDK authentication to fail becausedev-env.jsoverridesXDG_CONFIG_HOME, which breaksghCLI ability to find its auth token.Root Cause
scripts/dev-env.jssetsXDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.cooper-dev, butghCLI follows the XDG spec and looks for config at$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gh/hosts.ymlinstead of the default~/.config/gh/hosts.yml.Fix
On Unix systems, automatically symlink
~/.config/ghto~/.cooper-dev/ghbefore overridingXDG_CONFIG_HOME. This preserves dev isolation while allowingghto find its auth token.Windows is unaffected since it ignores
XDG_CONFIG_HOMEentirely.Testing
rm ~/.cooper-dev/ghnpm run dev
