### Feature summary

_No response_

### What problem are you trying to solve?

The GitHub Copilot app uses dynamically allocated localhost ports for communication between the app UI/WebView and its backend.

On Windows, these ports appear to be selected from the dynamic TCP port range (49152–65535). In our enterprise environment, endpoint web filtering and security software restrict traffic within this range, including localhost WebSocket connections.

As a result, the app repeatedly fails to establish or maintain its local WebSocket connection and authentication cannot complete. The logs show errors such as:

* `Connection reset without closing handshake`
* `IO error: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine (os error 10053)`

We confirmed the following:

* Access to the GitHub Enterprise host over TCP 443 works.
* The bundled `gh.exe` can authenticate successfully and access the GitHub Enterprise API.
* The Copilot app works when the Windows dynamic port range 49152–65535 is temporarily allowed.
* The app also works when the endpoint filtering software is temporarily disabled.
* The WebSocket listener port changes each time the app starts.

Allowing the entire Windows dynamic port range is difficult to approve as a permanent enterprise security configuration. We therefore need a supported way to configure or restrict the localhost ports used by the GitHub Copilot app.

### Proposed solution

Please provide a supported configuration option, environment variable, or command-line argument to control the localhost listener ports used by the GitHub Copilot app.

Ideally, administrators should be able to configure:

* A fixed WebSocket listener port
* A fixed Git trampoline or broker port
* Alternatively, a limited configurable port range

For example:

```text
--websocket-port 55000
--trampoline-port 55001
```

or:

```text
COPILOT_APP_WEBSOCKET_PORT=55000
COPILOT_APP_TRAMPOLINE_PORT=55001
```

This would allow enterprise administrators to create narrow, application-specific security exceptions instead of permitting the entire Windows dynamic port range.

Hướng nghiên cứu

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the app's localhost WebSocket listener and Git trampoline or broker setup, then determine how configuration is loaded. Done means administrators can configure the requested local ports or a constrained range and the connection and authentication flow works in the stated enterprise environment.
