描述
### Describe the bug
When launching Copilot CLI with a non-default config directory, MCP servers are incorrectly reported as "blocked by policy". Sending one message and restarting (/restart) fixes it for that session.
### Affected version
1.0.20
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Launch Copilot CLI with a non-default config directory (e.g. via env var pointing to a custom ~/.copilot-/ folder)
2. Observe that MCP servers are reported as blocked by policy immediately on startup
3. Send one message, then /restart
4. MCP servers now load correctly
### Expected behavior
MCP servers load on first launch.
### Additional context
Root cause hypothesis: The custom config dir has no session-store.db, so there is no cached policy state. The CLI appears to have a race condition where MCP initialization completes
before the async enterprise policy fetch from the GHE host finishes — defaulting to "blocked" instead of waiting for the result.
Workaround: One message + /restart resolves it for that session.
貢獻指南
研究方向
Start by reproducing the first-launch flow with a non-default config directory and trace MCP initialization alongside the asynchronous enterprise policy fetch from the GHE host. Done means MCP servers load correctly on the initial launch without requiring a message and /restart, with regression coverage for a missing session-store.db.
