Updates the devcontainer initialization to auto-select the GitHub Copilot API endpoint when it’s reachable during Codespaces (or devcontainer) attachment, improving the out-of-box .env defaults for users who have Copilot access.

- Add a
curl-based probe in.devcontainer/post-attach.shto decide betweenenv-defaultand a newenv-copilottemplate when generating.env. - Add
MODEL_TEMPguidance to the default env template. - Introduce
.devcontainer/env-copilotthat defaultsAI_API_ENDPOINTtohttps://api.githubcopilot.com.

The curl probe can hang or significantly delay post-attach when DNS/TLS or the endpoint is slow/unreachable. Add explicit timeouts (e.g., connect + overall) so Codespaces initialization doesn’t block on a network call, and consider handling transient failures (timeout) as a non-fatal fallback to env-default.

During codespace initialization, use a
curlcommand to test whether https://api.githubcopilot.com is working. If so, default to using that.
