Impact Assessment
- Risk: Medium (per WARNING in constants.go)
- Breaking Changes: None detected
- Affects: Copilot CLI users in workflows
- Migration: Drop-in replacement
- Note: "UPGRADING COPILOT CLI REQUIRES A FULL INTEGRATION TEST RUN TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY"
Recommendations
Immediate Actions
- Manual Recompile Required: Run
make recompilein a local environment with Go toolchain access to regenerate workflow lock files - Testing: Verify both CLIs work correctly in workflow environment
- Integration Tests: Full test run required for Copilot CLI per warning in constants
Update Priority
- Claude Code: Medium - Patch version updates, likely bug fixes
- Copilot CLI: Medium - Requires integration testing per policy
