Pull request overview
Updates the Copilot agentic engine to include the --no-ask-user Copilot CLI flag (when supported) so agent runs can execute fully autonomously without interactive prompts.
Changes:
- Added a version-gated helper (
copilotSupportsNoAskUser) and wired--no-ask-userinto Copilot execution args for agent jobs only. - Introduced a new minimum-version constant for the flag (
CopilotNoAskUserMinVersion = 1.0.19). - Regenerated numerous workflow lockfiles to reflect the new Copilot CLI invocation.

❌ Test Quality Sentinel: 77/100. 33.3% of new tests are classified as low-value implementation tests, just exceeding the 30% threshold. TestCopilotSupportsNoAskUser tests an unexported helper directly rather than observable behavior — its unique edge cases (LATEST uppercase, v-prefix, non-semver) should be folded into the existing behavioral test TestCopilotEngineNoAskUser as additional table rows, then the helper test removed. See the comment above for specific suggested rows. The overall test quality is high; this is a minor restructuring to align with the project's behavioral-contract testing philosophy.

✅ Smoke test review comment #2 (Run 24242990842): Consistent --no-ask-user flag applied here too. The version-gate logic in copilot_engine_execution.go ensures this only emits for Copilot CLI >= 1.0.19, which is a safe approach.

Smoke test code review: PR adds --no-ask-user flag to Copilot engine for fully autonomous agentic runs. Version gating logic is clean and follows established patterns. 187 lock files recompiled. LGTM overall.

💡 Consider adding a comment linking this constant to the GitHub release notes for Copilot CLI v1.0.19 so future maintainers can trace the origin of this version boundary.

✅ Clean version-gated flag injection. The copilotSupportsNoAskUser check ensures backward compatibility with older pinned Copilot CLI versions — good defensive pattern consistent with how awfSupportsCliProxy is handled.
