Update: Copilot CLI 1.0.20 (pinned) → 1.0.22 (unpin)

Critical context: Copilot CLI was pinned at 1.0.20 due to a silent startup crash introduced in 1.0.21. The crash caused all Copilot-engine workflows (estimated 124 workflows) to fail for 35+ hours (Apr 8–9). This was tracked in #25468 (closed Apr 9).

1.0.22 has been installed and verified — startup succeeds with exit code 0. The silent crash bug is confirmed fixed.

View Details

Version sequence:

• 1.0.20 — pinned stable baseline
• 1.0.21 — introduced silent startup crash (copilot exits with code 1, 0 bytes output, after ~1-2s)
• 1.0.22-0 — pre-release
• 1.0.22 — stable, crash resolved

CLI comparison (1.0.21 → 1.0.22):
No structural changes in --help output. Same flags, same subcommands (help, init, login, mcp, plugin, update, version). Same help topics (commands, config, environment, logging, monitoring, permissions, providers).

Root cause of 1.0.21 crash (from #25468):
The Copilot CLI exited with code 1 silently — zero stdout/stderr — after ~1-2 seconds. Pattern:

[copilot-driver] process exit event exitCode=1
[copilot-driver] stdout=0B stderr=0B hasOutput=false

Not a CAPI 400 error. Likely a startup initialization bug in 1.0.21.

Verification: copilot --help in 1.0.22 exits with code 0 and produces full output.

Impact Assessment

• Risk: Low (bug fix release, verified working)
• Affects: All Copilot-engine workflows (~124 workflows) — previously broken, now restored
• Migration: Pin comment removed from version_constants.go

Note: 0.38.0-preview.0 exists as a pre-release (skipped — stable only per policy).
