Description
## Motivation
Link to the gh-aw PR: github/gh-aw#44283 — fix: expose erl in AWF sandbox when using runtimes.elixir
PR #44283 added Elixir runtime support to the AWF sandbox: it emits a `Capture ERLANG_HOME` step after `erlef/setup-beam` and prepends `ERLANG_HOME/bin` to PATH inside the chroot, so `mix` can find `erl`. There is no E2E test exercising the Elixir runtime path.
## Proposed test
- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-runtimes-elixir.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch`
- **Engine**: copilot
- **Safe output**: `create-issue`
- **Variant**: standard (sandbox enabled)
## Minimal test prompt sketch
Declare `runtimes.elixir: true` in the frontmatter. Ask the agent to run `elixir -e "IO.puts(:os.type())"` via a `command` or `gh-steps` block to verify Elixir is accessible inside the sandbox, then create an issue reporting the output. The test passes if the issue body contains the expected Elixir output (e.g. `{:unix, :linux}`).
## New fixtures or secrets needed
None — the Elixir runtime is provided by the AWF sandbox machinery (`erlef/setup-beam`). No additional secrets or repos are required.
## Notes
The existing `test-copilot-gh-steps.md` provides a model for how to exercise shell commands inside the sandbox and capture output to a safe-output. The Elixir test would be similar but specifically validates the `ERLANG_HOME` injection from #44283. If `runtimes.elixir` is a rarely-used feature, a `nosandbox` variant may not be needed.

Research direction
Start by reading test-copilot-gh-steps.md and the proposed test-copilot-runtimes-elixir.md entry point. Mirror the existing sandbox command pattern, enable runtimes.elixir in frontmatter, and run the workflow to confirm the safe issue output contains the expected Elixir result such as {:unix, :linux}.
