Recommended action: For headless/CI use an env token (fine-grained PAT); on desktop Linux install libsecret-1-0 + gnome-keyring; on macOS delete stale item with `security delete-generic-password -s copilot-cli` and re-login.
Option: Use env token on headless hosts [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: see problem
Steps:
1. export COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN=<fine-grained PAT>
2. or install libsecret and re-run copilot login
Expected: CLI authenticates
