Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** General

I can't use because GH copilot app prefers to use bundled copilot cli, gh, and git. IT security policies prevent executables from home folder. Is there a way to manually configure path to the cli tools instead of using bundled versions?

Research direction

Start by locating how the Windows app resolves its bundled Copilot CLI, gh, and git executables. Check whether existing settings expose configurable paths; done means allowing external executable paths while preserving current defaults and verifying the behavior on Windows 10.
