Fix status: fixed_upstream Limitations: - Atlas signatures already include a Claude Code 'does not support dynamic client registration' record (mcp-auth); different product and cause. - Issue text uses double quotes: MCP server "github" is not connected. Fix referenced as runtime PR #18279; release not named. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/4604 (github_issue, 2026-08-25, maintainer_confirmed_cause): Issue documents regression in 1.0.81-10 (not in 1.0.80), DCR failure of /mcp auth, workarounds, and closure via runtime fix #18279.
