[aw] Test Copilot Assign To Agent failed to assign agent

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [Test Copilot Assign To Agent](https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-test/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-copilot-assign-to-agent.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-test/actions/runs/33942285306

> [!WARNING]
> **Agent Assignment Failed**: Failed to assign agent to issues or pull requests.

**Assignment Errors:**
- Issue #14075 (agent: copilot): copilot coding agent is not available for this repository

To resolve this, verify the token and Copilot assignment configuration:
- Set `GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN` to a fine-grained PAT with **metadata: read** and **actions**, **contents**, **issues**, and **pull requests: write**, or use a classic PAT with `repo`
- Do not use a GitHub App installation token for Copilot assignment; the API rejects it
- Ensure the token owner can access the repository and assign users to issues
- Verify Copilot coding agent is enabled for this repository and organization policy allows bot assignments

Start with .github/workflows/test-copilot-assign-to-agent.md and the failed run 33942285306, then compare the configured token and Copilot assignment setup with the linked authentication and Issues API documentation. Done means the workflow can assign the Copilot agent to an issue without reporting an assignment error.
