Description
### Describe the bug
When running the `/remote` command in Copilot CLI v1.0.28 inside a repository owned by a GitHub organization, the following error is shown:
```
Remote session disabled: could not resolve repository
```
### Affected version
v1.0.28 (copilot CLI)
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Login with `/login` using a GitHub user account that is a confirmed member of the organization.
2. Use a local clone of a repository owned by the organization.
3. Run the `/remote` command.
4. The error appears: `Remote session disabled: could not resolve repository`.
### Expected behavior
The `/remote` session should start successfully, since:
- The repository exists under the organization.
- The logged-in user is a valid organization member.
- The org admin has enabled remote access for the user (without this, `/remote` cannot be invoked at all).
### Additional context
- Re-logging in with `/login` does not help.
- The org admin confirmed remote access is enabled.
- It appears Copilot CLI may be attempting to resolve the repo under the logged-in user's personal account, instead of the organization.
- This is similar to #1328 (wrong repo owner resolution), but here the error is blocking `/remote` usage rather than failing MCP commands after connection.
