fix(workflow): assign Copilot via GraphQL replaceActorsForAssignable#19
Conversation
The previous Sync from Docs workflow has been failing with HTTP 422 since
it tried to create issues with two invalid REST fields:
- agent_assignment: {...} (not a valid Issues API field)
- assignees: ["copilot-swe-agent[bot]"] (not a valid assignee login)
This rewrites the issue-creation step to:
1. Create a plain issue (title/body/labels only)
2. Look up the Copilot bot id via GraphQL suggestedActors
3. Assign Copilot via GraphQL replaceActorsForAssignable
ADMIN_GITHUB_TOKEN must belong to a user with a Copilot seat for the
assignment to succeed.

Why
The Sync from Docs workflow has been failing with HTTP 422 every time Docs pushes:
agent_assignment(not a valid Issues REST field).copilot-swe-agent[bot](not a valid assignee login).GitHub silently swallows invalid bot assignees on the REST endpoint, but the bogus
agent_assignmentfield triggers a hard 422.What
agent_assignmentfrom the create-issue payload.suggestedActors(capabilities: [CAN_BE_ASSIGNED]), then assign viareplaceActorsForAssignable.ADMIN_GITHUB_TOKEN(must belong to a user with a Copilot seat) for assignment.Verification
A local dry run with the admin token successfully:
suggestedActors(logincopilot-swe-agent),Copilot connectedevent indicating the agent session started.Closes the regression that has blocked auto-sync since April.
