CI: Smoke Chroot fails with .copilot/pkg permission denied #542
Description
Summary
Smoke Chroot workflow fails because the Copilot CLI can't create ~/.copilot/pkg:
Error creating package directory: /home/runner/.copilot/pkg/linux-x64/0.0.402
Failed to extract bundled package: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/runner/.copilot/pkg'
Root Cause
The install_copilot_cli.sh script runs with sudo, creating /home/runner/.copilot owned by root. When the Copilot CLI later runs as runner user, it can't write to the directory.
Fix
Add a step to smoke-chroot.md that pre-creates the directory with correct ownership:
steps:
- name: Fix Copilot CLI directory permissions
run: mkdir -p /home/runner/.copilot && sudo chown -R runner:runner /home/runner/.copilotThis was previously fixed in PR #530 but was reverted as part of the intercept mode revert (#541).
Affected Workflow
smoke-chroot.lock.yml→ agent job- Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/actions/runs/21733736996
Additional Context
This is independent of the intercept mode changes. It's a chroot-specific issue where the Copilot CLI install script creates directories with root ownership that the runner user can't access.
