Description

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [PR Sous Chef](https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/blob/main/.github/workflows/pr-sous-chef.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/35070165834

> [!WARNING]
> **Copilot organization billing is unavailable**: The workflow uses `permissions.copilot-requests: write`, but GitHub Copilot rejected the built-in `GITHUB_TOKEN`.

To resolve this:

1. Ask an organization owner to check **Organization settings → Copilot → Policies → Copilot CLI** and enable **Allow use of Copilot CLI billed to the organization**.
2. If organization billing is unavailable, use individual billing instead: set `permissions.copilot-requests: none`, configure a `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` repository secret with a fine-grained personal access token from a user with an active Copilot subscription, and recompile the workflow.

See [Copilot billing](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/billing/) for complete setup instructions.

> [!WARNING]
> **Engine Failure**: The `copilot` engine terminated unexpectedly.

**Last agent output:**
```
Check your COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY or COPILOT_PROVIDER_BEARER_TOKEN.

Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/pr-sous-chef.md and the failed run linked in the issue. Check the workflow's Copilot permissions and the organization's Copilot CLI billing policy, then review the provider authentication settings described in the run output. Done means the workflow can run successfully without the billing or authentication errors.
