Explicit Copilot CLI pins were forcing exact-version toolcache lookup, which bypassed compat-range matching and turned a compatible cached runner binary into an unconditional network download. This kept agentic jobs exposed to github.com/CDN availability even when the runner already had an in-window Copilot CLI installed.
What changed
engine.versioninstalls now still receiveGH_AW_COMPILED_VERSION, so the installer can resolve the compat window at runtime.install_copilot_cli.shnow treats an explicit version as:Installer behavior
min-agent..max-agent, that cached binary is used instead of downloading from GitHub.Coverage added
Example
Net effect
agent/detectionjobs when the runner already has a compatible CLI cached.
