In @.github/scripts/run-copilot-inference.cjs:
- Around line 32-44: Update the spawnSync call in the Copilot execution flow to
use a finite timeout and SIGKILL, forward result.stderr before handling
result.error, and retain timeout diagnostics. Add a regression test using a
non-terminating fake Copilot executable with a short test timeout, asserting
ETIMEDOUT and SIGKILL without requiring every pre-kill stderr byte.
In @.github/workflows/enforce-issue-quality.yml:
- Around line 177-201: Pin the Copilot dependency closure instead of using
unconstrained global npm installation. Update
.github/workflows/enforce-issue-quality.yml lines 177-201 and 539-562, and
.github/workflows/issue-triage.yml lines 121-134, to install via npm ci with a
committed lockfile or verify a repository-pinned tarball digest before
installation. Update .github/scripts/copilot-workflows.test.cjs lines 25-34 to
enforce the selected pinning method across all three workflows.

24-62: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a regression test for the existing-token fallback.
This test proves that a non-empty
COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKENoverrides an emptyGITHUB_TOKEN. It does not prove that an existingGITHUB_TOKENremains available whenCOPILOT_GITHUB_TOKENis unset. Add a second case that sets onlyGITHUB_TOKENand assert that the fake Copilot executable receives it.

Security review before merge (workflow-touching PR): tokens stay in secrets/env and are redacted; permissions unchanged (no escalation); no new third-party actions, checkout/setup-node stay SHA-pinned; installer pin is a full 64-hex digest matching official copilot-cli v1.0.74; prompts flow via stdin/file with no argv or interpolated run-script exposure. Squashing the 17-commit history per campaign matrix. |

Campaign security review (holding this out of admin-merge; needs explicit maintainer security sign-off per the AGENTS.md security boundary — workflows + token handling): Finding (blocking for unattended merge): untrusted issue/comment text is concatenated into the Copilot CLI stdin ( Sound parts: the CLI download is SHA256-pinned and matches the official v1.0.74 checksum; the YAML itself is default-branch trusted. Suggested hardening before merge: pass an explicit empty/minimal tool allowlist to the CLI (or run inference with a read-only token and move the write-back into a separate non-agent step), so untrusted stdin can never reach a tool holding |
