### Describe the bug

When running Copilot CLI inside a remote container (e.g., GitHub Codespaces, Dev Containers), the MCP OAuth flow redirects to a `localhost` callback URL that is unreachable from the user's browser. There is no mechanism to manually paste the authorization code/callback URL back into the CLI, unlike Claude Desktop which provides a dialog for this.

### Affected version

1.0.36

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run Copilot CLI inside a GitHub Codespace or remote dev container
2. Add an HTTP MCP server that requires OAuth
3. Run `/mcp` → trigger auth → browser opens and user authorises
4. Browser attempts to redirect to `http://127.0.0.1:/?code=...&state=...`
5. Redirect fails — localhost resolves to the user's local machine, not the container
6. OAuth handshake never completes; MCP server remains unauthenticated

### Expected behavior

The CLI should either: (a) detect that the callback was not received and prompt the user to paste the callback URL manually, or (b) provide a `/mcp auth paste` style command to accept the code out-of-band.

### Workaround

Paste the callback URL to an AI agent running inside the container and have it `curl` the URL against the local listener. Not a user-friendly solution.

### Additional context

Claude Desktop handles this via a dedicated token paste dialog. Related to #1491 (random port issue) but distinct — this is specifically about remote container environments where localhost is unreachable from the browser.
