Description
## Motivation
Link to the gh-aw PR: github/gh-aw#48978 — "Mark copilot-sdk mode as stable". `engine.copilot-sdk: true` no longer emits an experimental warning at compile time and is now documented as a first-class Copilot variant (SDK mode). No existing test exercises this engine mode.
## Proposed test
- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-sdk-mode.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch`
- **Engine**: copilot, with `engine.copilot-sdk: true`
- **Safe output**: `create-issue` (simple, easy to assert)
- **Variant**: standard
## Minimal test prompt sketch
Compile and dispatch a minimal workflow with `engine: { id: copilot, copilot-sdk: true }` that asks the agent to create an issue with a fixed title/body via a `samples:` block, confirming the SDK-mode engine path compiles and runs like the standard Copilot CLI mode.
## New fixtures or secrets needed
None — reuses the standard `githubnext/gh-aw-test` fixture and existing Copilot credentials.
## Notes
Distinct from all existing `test-copilot-*` tests, which use the default (non-SDK) Copilot engine. Verify with maintainers whether `copilot-sdk: true` requires any additional runner setup beyond the standard Copilot engine bootstrap in `copilot-setup-steps.yml`.

Research direction
Start with the proposed test-copilot-sdk-mode.md workflow and compare the existing test-copilot-* tests for their standard engine setup. Check copilot-setup-steps.yml and the standard githubnext/gh-aw-test fixture before dispatching the workflow. Done means the workflow compiles and runs with engine.copilot-sdk: true, creates the fixed test issue, and confirms the SDK-mode path.
