説明

## Summary

When an agent's frontmatter declares tools using the category aliases `web` or
`search`, those aliases silently resolve to **no bound tool at all** when the
agent is dispatched headlessly via `copilot --agent -p ... --allow-all-tools`.
There is no error or warning — the agent simply has no web-fetch/web-search
capability, which is easy to miss since nothing fails loudly.

Other category aliases in the same position work correctly: `read` → `view`,
`edit` → `edit`, `shell` → `powershell`, `agent` → `task/read_agent/list_agents`.
Only `web` and `search` are affected.

## Environment

- GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.68 (Windows)
- Invocation: `copilot --agent -p "" --allow-all-tools`

## Repro

Agent frontmatter:
```yaml
---
name: tool-probe
tools:
- read
- web
- search
---
```

Dispatch:
```
copilot --agent tool-probe -p "List every tool you have available to you right now, one per line, then stop." --allow-all-tools
```

**Observed bound tools:** view, skill, sql — no web/search tool at all.

Changing the frontmatter to the literal tool names instead of the category aliases:

```yaml
tools:
- read
- web_fetch
- web_search
```

**Observed bound tools:** view, web_fetch, web_search, skill, sql — correct.

## Impact

Any agent relying on the documented web/search category aliases for web
access has zero web tooling in headless dispatch, with no error surfaced
anywhere. We found this affected 5 of our own agent specs (including a
Chief-of-Staff-style orchestrator whose own web lookups were silently broken)
before switching to literal tool names as a workaround.

## Suggested fix

Category-alias resolution for web/search should map to web_fetch/web_search
in headless --agent dispatch mode the same way shell correctly maps to
powershell and read maps to view.

調査の方向性

Start by tracing category-alias resolution for frontmatter tools during headless --agent dispatch, using the documented web/search reproduction. Compare those aliases with read and shell, then verify the literal web_fetch/web_search behavior. Done means web and search bind the expected tools in headless dispatch and the silent failure is covered by a regression check.
