Workflow Failure

Workflow: Test Copilot Assign To Agent
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-test/actions/runs/30006578931

Warning

Agent Assignment Failed: Failed to assign agent to issues or pull requests.

Assignment Errors:

• Issue [copilot-test] Test assign to agent from Copilot #8693 (agent: copilot): copilot coding agent is not available for this repository

To resolve this, verify the token and Copilot assignment configuration:

• Set GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN to a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or use a classic PAT with repo
• Do not use a GitHub App installation token for Copilot assignment; the API rejects it
• Ensure the token owner can access the repository and assign users to issues
• Verify Copilot coding agent is enabled for this repository and organization policy allows bot assignments
• Docs: https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/copilot-cloud-agent/#authentication
• API reference: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/cloud-agent/use-cloud-agent-via-the-api#using-the-issues-api
