Warning
Agent Assignment Failed: Failed to assign agent to issues or pull requests.
Assignment Errors:
- Issue Add support for RSC tests to packages/react #8451 (agent: copilot): copilot coding agent is not available for this repository
To resolve this, verify the token and Copilot assignment configuration:
- Set
GH_AW_AGENT_TOKENto a fine-grained PAT with metadata: read and actions, contents, issues, and pull requests: write, or use a classic PAT withrepo - Do not use a GitHub App installation token for Copilot assignment; the API rejects it
- Ensure the token owner can access the repository and assign users to issues
- Verify Copilot coding agent is enabled for this repository and organization policy allows bot assignments

Should we really be using a personal access token for this? Might be worth checking in with a broader group like #core-ux to see how other people are handling this, and whether a PAT is really the right path or not.
