説明
### Describe the bug
GitHub Copilot CLI fails to launch a shell command with:
``
After that, the agent may incorrectly conclude that the command is not installed or not on `PATH`, even when the command exists and runs normally outside Copilot.
### Environment
- Copilot CLI: `1.0.27`
- macOS: `26.4` (`25E246`)
- Architecture: `arm64`
- Terminal: Reproduced in Ghostty and Terminal app
### Expected behavior
Copilot should either:
- run the shell command successfully, or
- report a shell/process-launch failure without inferring that the command is missing.
It should not translate `posix_spawnp failed` into “command not found” unless it has separately verified that.
### Actual behavior
Copilot returns:
```
```
and then incorrectly infers that the command is unavailable or not on PATH.
### Reproduction
Prompt used:
```
Run exactly: command -v teamcity && teamcity auth status. Do not explain, just use the shell tool and report the result.
```
### Observed results
#### 1. Direct shell outside Copilot
This succeeds:
```
command -v teamcity && teamcity auth status
```
Output begins with:
/opt/homebrew/bin/teamcity
and the authentication status is reported correctly.
#### 2. Copilot non-interactive without broad approval
Command:
```
copilot -p "Run exactly: command -v teamcity && teamcity auth status. Do not explain, just use the shell tool and report the result."
```
Result:
Permission denied and could not request permission from user
That is understandable for non-interactive permissions.
#### 3. Copilot non-interactive with broad approval
Command:
```
copilot -p "Run exactly: command -v teamcity && teamcity auth status. Do not explain, just use the shell tool and report the result." --allow-all-tools
```
Result:
### Why this looks like a CLI bug
The same shell command works outside Copilot in the same environment.
This suggests:
1. a shell/process-launch failure inside Copilot CLI, and
2. a reasoning/diagnostic bug where posix_spawnp failed is treated as if the command were missing from PATH.
### Affected version
1.0.27
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
```
brew install jetbrains/utils/teamcity
copilot -p "Run exactly: command -v teamcity && teamcity auth status. Do not explain, just use the shell tool and report the result."
```
### Expected behavior
_No response_
### Additional context
_No response_

調査の方向性
Start by reproducing the issue with `copilot -p` using the `teamcity` command, both with and without `--allow-all-tools`, and compare it with the direct shell invocation. Trace the CLI's shell-tool process launch and error handling around `posix_spawnp failed`. Done means the command launches when permitted, or the CLI reports a process-launch failure without claiming the command is missing from PATH.
