Affected version

1.0.46

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Just upgrade in copilot CLI

This once happens wont work in any copilot version.

Fix :
nvm install 24
nvm use 24

Update Node to 24 and try, it should work.

Else :
Workaround is to uninstall compeletely and downgrade to 1.0.45 and then create new custom .copilot and .cache folder. And point copilot to use these.

XDG_CACHE_HOME="$HOME/.cache_copilot_test"
COPILOT_HOME="$HOME/.copilot_npm_fresh"
copilot --no-auto-update --banner

Expected behavior

No response
