Description
## Motivation
Link to the gh-aw PR: github/gh-aw#45515 — Remove built-in Crush engine support
Built-in Crush support was removed because Crush can now be implemented via the `engine.behaviors` custom engine import mechanism. PR #45559 also added docs for configuring third-party agents. There is currently no E2E test that exercises a custom (non-built-in) engine definition loaded via `engine.behaviors`.
## Proposed test
- **Workflow file**: `test-copilot-custom-engine-behaviors.md`
- **Trigger**: `workflow_dispatch`
- **Engine**: copilot (with a custom `engine.behaviors` import overlay)
- **Safe output**: `create-issue`
- **Variant**: standard
## Minimal test prompt sketch
Define a minimal custom engine behavior override in the workflow frontmatter (e.g. override `agentTimeout` or a tool allowlist via `engine.behaviors`) and have the agent create an issue confirming the behavior was applied. This exercises the import/merge path for custom engine definitions without needing a new engine binary.
## New fixtures or secrets needed
None if the test only overrides frontmatter fields. If a real external engine binary is needed, that would require a new secret/fixture — but a frontmatter-only override should be sufficient to exercise the compilation and runtime path.
## Notes
The existing `test-copilot-skills-frontmatter` tests skills frontmatter but not the `engine.behaviors` import mechanism introduced as the replacement for built-in engines. Open questions: what minimal `engine.behaviors` overlay is valid for Copilot in the test environment?

Research direction
Start with the existing test-copilot-skills-frontmatter workflow and the proposed test-copilot-custom-engine-behaviors.md file. Determine which minimal engine.behaviors frontmatter overlay is valid for Copilot, then run the workflow_dispatch test and confirm that the agent creates an issue showing the behavior was applied.
