Add githubToken and useLoggedInUser options to all SDK clients#237
Conversation
…ients Enable SDK clients to customize authentication when spawning the CLI server. Node.js: - Add githubToken and useLoggedInUser options to CopilotClientOptions - Set COPILOT_SDK_AUTH_TOKEN env var and pass --auth-token-env flag - Pass --no-auto-login when useLoggedInUser is false - Default useLoggedInUser to false when githubToken is provided Python: - Add github_token and use_logged_in_user options - Same behavior as Node.js SDK Go: - Add GithubToken and UseLoggedInUser fields to ClientOptions - Same behavior as Node.js SDK .NET: - Add GithubToken and UseLoggedInUser properties to CopilotClientOptions - Same behavior as Node.js SDK All SDKs include validation to prevent use with cliUrl (external server) and tests for the new options.

✅ Cross-SDK Consistency ReviewThis PR demonstrates excellent consistency across all four SDK implementations. The authentication feature has been implemented uniformly with proper attention to language-specific conventions. Consistency Verified ✓API Naming (properly adapted to language conventions):
Behavior consistency across all SDKs:
Test coverage - all SDKs include equivalent tests:
Documentation - consistent comments/docstrings across all SDKs explaining:
SummaryThis PR maintains excellent feature parity and API design consistency. The implementation correctly accounts for each language's idioms while keeping the semantic behavior identical. No inconsistencies found—great work! 🎉

Pull request overview
This PR adds authentication customization options to all SDK clients (Node.js, Python, Go, and .NET), enabling them to specify a GitHub token and control whether to use the logged-in user when spawning the CLI server.
Changes:
- Add
githubToken/github_token/GithubTokenoption to pass authentication tokens to the CLI via environment variable - Add
useLoggedInUser/use_logged_in_user/UseLoggedInUseroption to control whether the CLI uses stored OAuth tokens - Default
useLoggedInUserto false whengithubTokenis provided, but allow explicit override - Add validation to prevent using these auth options with external servers (cliUrl)
- Add comprehensive tests for the new authentication options across all SDKs

Missing test case for default UseLoggedInUser behavior when GithubToken is provided. All other SDK implementations (Python, Node.js, and .NET) include a test that verifies UseLoggedInUser defaults to false when a GithubToken is provided. This test case should be added to ensure consistent behavior and test coverage across all SDKs.
