Your GitHub Actions job fails with 'Resource not accessible by integration' because GITHUB_TOKEN is

GitHub says Copilot CLI, when invoked from a GitHub Actions workflow, will now accept the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN. That retires one of the last long-lived personal tokens teams were carrying just to script Copilot from CI.

GitHub gave Dependabot its own GITHUB_TOKEN access to private GitHub Packages and GHCR, retiring one of the most awkward credentials in any CI setup. For pipeline owners, that closes a quiet but persistent rotation tax.
