This is ordinary debugging with no security-related request. Request ID:  A7A5:80814:1CE5A51:1FDDFFD:6A7E15BB .

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported workflow in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.79: create a local branch and revert Visual Studio Build Insights changes for regression testing. Investigate the CAPI 422 response and determine why this ordinary debugging request is flagged as a cybersecurity risk; done means the workflow no longer receives that incorrect classification.
