[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/34080345346

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

**Assignment Errors:**
- Issue #14240 (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 linked in the issue. Read the agentic-workflows skill and the Copilot cloud agent authentication documentation, then inspect the assignment error for issue #14240. Done means the workflow can assign the Copilot agent without reporting an assignment failure.
