Summary of Changes

Hello @m7medVision, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the Copilot provider's token management by implementing a more sophisticated and platform-aware authentication flow. It introduces a token exchange process for non-Windows operating systems, ensuring that the correct type of bearer token is used when interacting with the Copilot API, while maintaining direct GitHub token usage for Windows environments. This change aims to improve the reliability and compatibility of Copilot integration across different platforms.

Highlights

  • Token Exchange Mechanism: A new function, exchangeGitHubToken, has been introduced to facilitate the conversion of a standard GitHub token into a specific Copilot bearer token. This involves making an HTTP request to the GitHub Copilot internal API.
  • OS-Specific Token Handling: The GenerateCommitMessages function now includes logic to differentiate token usage based on the operating system. On Windows, the provided GitHub token is used directly, while on other platforms, it is first exchanged for a Copilot bearer token using the new exchangeGitHubToken function.
  • Dependency Updates: The internal/provider/copilot.go file now imports encoding/json for parsing API responses and runtime to determine the operating system, supporting the new token handling logic.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a mechanism to exchange a GitHub token for a Copilot-specific token, with special handling for Windows. The changes are generally good, but I have a few suggestions to improve error handling, code clarity, and maintainability. Specifically, I've pointed out an unhandled error when parsing API error responses, recommended using named structs instead of anonymous ones for API payloads, and suggested adding a comment to explain the reasoning behind the OS-specific logic.

Message string `json:"message"`
}
_ = json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&body)
return "", fmt.Errorf("token exchange failed: %d %s", resp.StatusCode, body.Message)
}

The error from json.NewDecoder(...).Decode(...) is currently ignored. If the response body for a non-OK status is not valid JSON or is empty, body.Message will be empty, and the error message will be less informative. It's better to handle this case and provide a more generic error message if the specific error from GitHub can't be parsed.

if resp.StatusCode != http.StatusOK {
		var body struct {
			Message string `json:"message"`
		}
		if err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&body); err == nil && body.Message != "" {
			return "", fmt.Errorf("token exchange failed: %d %s", resp.StatusCode, body.Message)
		}
		return "", fmt.Errorf("token exchange failed with status code: %d", resp.StatusCode)
	}

For better code clarity and maintainability, consider replacing this anonymous struct with a named struct defined at the package level, for example copilotErrorResponse. This makes the code easier to read and allows for reuse.

// On Windows, use the token directly; on other platforms, exchange it for a Copilot token

The comment explains what the code does, but it would be very helpful for future maintenance to also explain why this OS-specific logic is necessary. Why does Windows use the token directly while other platforms need to exchange it?
