Description
### Describe the bug
I use GitHub Copilot in both Windows (from PowerShell) and WSL.
This morning I updated the Windows installation to `1.0.64`. The Windows version is working fine after the update.
However, the WSL installation cannot launch. The error message is
```bash
$ copilot
Failed to load package index: /home/shengjiema/.cache/copilot/pkg/linux-x64/1.0.64-1/index.js SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

### Affected version

Research direction
Start by reproducing `copilot` in WSL with version `1.0.64` and inspect the cached `linux-x64/1.0.64-1/index.js` referenced in the error. Compare the WSL behavior with the working PowerShell installation; done means `copilot` launches in WSL and `copilot --version` works.
