[Copilot]

• Identify all files mentioning install-gh-aw.sh script
• Update /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/create.md to add note about using full local path
• Update /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/docs/src/content/docs/setup/cli.md to add note about using full local path
• Update /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/docs/src/content/docs/guides/upgrading.md to add note about using full local path
• Update /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/docs/src/content/docs/troubleshooting/common-issues.md to add note about using full local path
• Review copilot-setup-steps.yml approach
• Update create.md and install.md to explicitly support both local and restricted environments
• Merge main branch
• Recompile workflows
• Commit changes

Original prompt

Update the create.md markdown files in the section that explains how to install the extension with a script. Add one more sentence stating that in this case, you should run the tool using the full local path instead of using the gh aw CLI, because the CLI will refuse to run when the token is not available.

@copilot Review the guidance on installing and using the gh-aw binary in copilot-setup.md and ensure the same approach is used in create.md. The create.md file must support both a local development environment and a restricted environment such as Copilot’s coding agent, where the github-token is not available.

Updated create.md and install.md to align with the approach used in copilot-setup-steps.yml.

The guidance now explicitly presents two options:

• Option 1: For local development with GitHub token → use gh aw commands
• Option 2: For restricted environments without token (like Copilot's coding agent) → use the full path ~/.local/share/gh/extensions/gh-aw/gh-aw

This makes it clear upfront which approach to use based on the environment, rather than treating the full path as a fallback workaround.

Scores Breakdown

• Impact: 15/50 - Documentation improvements for installation in restricted environments; updates 6 documentation files; 42 additions, 12 deletions; improves user experience for Codespaces/restricted environments
• Urgency: 12/30 - Created 0.6 hours ago (very recent); draft status; 4 commits; 2 comments; assigned to pelikhan; helps users but not blocking
• Quality: 15/20 - CI unstable; draft status; excellent description explaining the problem and solution with clear examples; documentation changes are well-structured; addresses real user pain points

📋 Recommended Action: auto_merge

Documentation-only changes that improve installation guidance for restricted environments. While in draft, the changes are straightforward and low-risk. Once CI passes and draft status is removed, this can be auto-merged as it only affects documentation and doesn't change any code behavior. The updates are clear and helpful for users.
