Expected Behavior
I installed Intelligent Terminal on Windows 11 and, at the first natural language request (checking the status of my PC), I received this message:
Error: You are not authorized to use this Copilot feature, it requires an enterprise or organization policy to be enabled.
(Request ID: 78FF:143A60:7AD2C:8C6A2:6A2E6771)
This limitation is not mentioned on the GitHub project page and comes as an unpleasant surprise for personal users.
Other terminals like Warp do not impose similar restrictions, so I expected Intelligent Terminal, being native to Windows, to behave the same way.
Request:
Update the documentation to clarify which features require enterprise policies.
Consider making at least some diagnostic functions available to personal users.

Start by reviewing the GitHub project page and existing Intelligent Terminal documentation for Copilot features. Confirm which features require enterprise or organization policies, then document the limitation for Windows 11 personal users. Done means the affected features and policy requirement are clearly explained.
