Giles Odigwe fe08574a7c Python: [BREAKING] Upgrade github-copilot-sdk to v1.0.0 (stable) (#6292)
* Python: Upgrade github-copilot-sdk to v1.0.0 (stable)

Upgrade agent-framework-github-copilot from github-copilot-sdk 1.0.0b2 to the
stable 1.0.0 release, adapting to all breaking API changes.

Source changes (_agent.py):
- SubprocessConfig removed: use RuntimeConnection.for_stdio(path=...) +
  CopilotClient kwargs (connection, log_level, base_directory)
- Import paths: copilot.generated.session_events -> copilot.session_events
- Settings: copilot_home -> base_directory (env GITHUB_COPILOT_BASE_DIRECTORY)
- Default deny handler: PermissionDecisionUserNotAvailable() (from
  copilot.generated.rpc)

Test changes:
- Updated imports and client-construction assertions (kwargs-based)
- Permission handler tests use concrete decision types
  (PermissionDecisionApproveOnce, PermissionDecisionDeniedInteractivelyByUser)

Sample changes:
- Permission handlers use PermissionHandler.approve_all or sync
  approve_and_log pattern (v1.0.0 protocol v3 dispatch is incompatible
  with blocking input() in permission handlers)
- Function approval sample uses asyncio.to_thread for interactive prompts
- Simplified imports across all samples

* Address PR review: scope permission handlers, widen type, add test

- Shell sample: only approve kind='shell', deny others
- URL sample: only approve kind='url', deny others
- Use getattr() for kind-specific attributes to satisfy pyright
- Widen PermissionHandlerType to accept async handlers (matches SDK)
- Add test for _deny_all_permissions return value

* Fix validation script and strengthen test assertion

- Update scripts/sample_validation/create_dynamic_workflow_executor.py to
  use copilot.session_events imports and PermissionHandler.approve_all
- Assert isinstance(result, PermissionDecisionUserNotAvailable) instead of
  stringly-typed kind check

* Add integration tests for GitHubCopilotAgent

Add 6 integration tests mirroring .NET coverage:
- Basic non-streaming response
- Streaming response
- Function tool invocation
- Session context (multi-turn)
- Session resume by ID
- Shell command execution

Tests require COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN env var (skipped otherwise).
Each test cleans up its Copilot session via delete_session.

GitHub Copilot Agent Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the GitHubCopilotAgent from the Microsoft Agent Framework.

Security Note: These examples demonstrate various permission types (shell, read, write, url). Only enable permissions that are necessary for your use case. Each permission grants the agent additional capabilities that could affect your system.

Prerequisites

  1. GitHub Copilot CLI: Install and authenticate the Copilot CLI
  2. GitHub Copilot Subscription: An active GitHub Copilot subscription
  3. Install the package:
    pip install agent-framework-github-copilot --pre
    

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be configured:

Variable Description Default
GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH Path to the Copilot CLI executable copilot
GITHUB_COPILOT_MODEL Model to use (e.g., "gpt-5", "claude-sonnet-4") Server default
GITHUB_COPILOT_TIMEOUT Request timeout in seconds 60
GITHUB_COPILOT_LOG_LEVEL CLI log level info
GITHUB_COPILOT_BASE_DIRECTORY Directory for CLI session state and config ~/.copilot

Observability

GitHubCopilotAgent has OpenTelemetry tracing built-in. To enable it, call configure_otel_providers() before running the agent:

from agent_framework.observability import configure_otel_providers
from agent_framework.github import GitHubCopilotAgent

configure_otel_providers(enable_console_exporters=True)

async with GitHubCopilotAgent() as agent:
    response = await agent.run("Hello!")

See the observability samples for full examples with OTLP exporters.

Examples

File Description
