描述

Describe the bug

On Windows machines where PowerShell runs in ConstrainedLanguage mode (enforced by AppLocker or WDAC, common in managed enterprise environments), every single shell command run by the agent prints a spurious error block.

Copilot CLI appends an exit-status epilogue to each command it runs:

} finally { $__copilotSuccess = $?; if (-not $__copilotSuccess -and $LASTEXITCODE -is [int] -and $LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { $host.SetShouldExit($LASTEXITCODE) } elseif (-not $__copilotSuccess) { $host.SetShouldExit(1) } else { $host.SetShouldExit(0) } }

$host.SetShouldExit() is a .NET method call on a non-core type, which ConstrainedLanguage forbids. The wrapper itself therefore fails and emits:

Cannot invoke the method. Method invocation is supported only on core types in this language mode.
At line:2 char:225
+ ... Success) { $host.SetShouldExit(1) } else { $host.SetShouldExit(0) } }
+                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation : (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodInvocationNotSupportedInConstrainedLanguage
Why this matters
  • Affects every command: Get-Item, python, curl — all of them.
  • Pollutes the model context. The block is ~150 tokens.
  • Risks incorrect failure detection. The text goes to stderr.
Suggested fix

Replace the $host.SetShouldExit(...) calls with the exit keyword, which is fully permitted in ConstrainedLanguage:

} finally { $__copilotSuccess = $?; if (-not $__copilotSuccess -and $LASTEXITCODE -is [int] -and $LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE } elseif (-not $__copilotSuccess) { exit 1 } else { exit 0 } }

Alternatively, guard the call with a language-mode check and fall back to exit.

Affected version

1.0.81-0 (also reproduced on 1.0.82)

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. On a Windows machine where AppLocker/WDAC forces PowerShell into ConstrainedLanguage mode.
    Verify with $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode, which returns ConstrainedLanguage.
  2. Run any trivial shell command via the agent, e.g. Get-Item $env:TEMP or python --version.
  3. Observe the MethodInvocationNotSupportedInConstrainedLanguage error block shown above.
Expected behavior

The exit-status wrapper should use constructs permitted in ConstrainedLanguage (e.g. the exit keyword), so no spurious output is appended to successful commands.

Additional context
  • OS: Windows 11, domain-joined, managed by corporate GPO
  • CPU architecture: x86_64
  • Shell: Windows PowerShell 5.1 (powershell.exe) — also reproduced on PowerShell 7.6.5 (pwsh.exe), so this is not version-specific
  • Language mode: ConstrainedLanguage, enforced by AppLocker (Exe rule collection, EnforcementMode=1, pushed via domain GPO)
  • Host: Copilot CLI running as the VS Code agent host (@github/copilot-win32-x64)
Verification performed
  • Confirmed the offending template string is present in prebuilds/win32-x64/runtime.node.
  • Confirmed it is still present in 1.0.82, so updating does not resolve it.
  • Confirmed the wrapped commands themselves succeed and the process exit code is still correct (0 on success). The failure is limited to the epilogue, making this primarily output noise plus a stderr false-positive risk.
  • A user-side trap cannot suppress it, because the error is raised from the wrapper's own finally block.

调研方向

首先检查 prebuilds/win32-x64/runtime.node 中有问题的模板字符串,并在 ConstrainedLanguage 下使用 $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode 和类似 Get-Item $env:TEMP 的命令重现 wrapper。验证 exit-status epilogue 使用了允许的构造,并确认成功和失败的命令不再发出 MethodInvocationNotSupportedInConstrainedLanguage 错误。
