feat(acp-registry): Copilot can generate thread titles and commit messages - #32976
If Copilot is the only agent you use in T3 Code, you can now choose it to write thread titles, branch names, commit messages and PR text. Pick a Copilot model in Settings → Threads → Text generation. T3 never chooses Copilot as a fallback, because these requests count against your Copilot plan.
Problem
Copilot in the ACP Registry cannot currently supply a text-generation model. Settings shows "No text generation providers available", and the server rejects a saved Registry selection. Part of #31478: this addresses its reporter's Copilot-only setup, not every worktree-naming failure.
Change
Enable the existing text-generation operations for Copilot Registry instances and local copilot commands. Other Registry agents and review-guide investigation remain unsupported. The server keeps an explicit Copilot selection, and the picker previews only providers eligible for automatic fallback. Fallback also checks the configured driver behind an instance ID, so a Copilot instance configured under the codex ID cannot become an automatic fallback.
Each request runs a separate ACP helper with an empty working directory and temporary COPILOT_HOME. Only sign-in fields are copied from the selected profile's configuration. Hooks, MCP servers, plugins and permissions are excluded. The helper uses fixed arguments that remove native tools, strips unsafe environment overrides, passes the chosen model with --model, and ignores saved session modes and local command arguments. Tool and permission reports are rejection tripwires, not the execution boundary. Output is capped at 128,000 characters, requests time out after 180 seconds, and scoped cleanup owns the process group and temporary directories.
The server-side behavior is shared by local and remote clients. Desktop uses the web settings UI; mobile has no text-generation picker. No wire schema changes.
Scope and approval
No maintainer approval is claimed. This focused ACP contribution is independent of the SDK provider in #32221. Discussion #31680 proposes this direction and is still unanswered. #31478 needs triage. #31716 adds GLM generation at the same Registry integration points, so integration may require conflict resolution.
Adapted from Michał Delura's implementation at mdelura/t3code@30a72404, linked in #31680. Copilot detection, selection checks, helper structure and parts of the tests/docs come from that work, credited in the commit's coauthor trailer. This contribution adds auth-only config copying, fixed launch arguments and environment filtering, CLI model selection, process-group cleanup, subprocess tests and consistent picker fallback behavior.
Verification
Merged upstream main at 41443e5706 into this branch with merge commit ee777a8d2d6e. The merge required no conflict resolutions. vp run check:changed passed on that commit: 187 tests in 6 files, typecheck of 41 affected packages, format, lint, knip and GraphQL, plus the focused React compiler check. Claude Opus 5.5 High independently reviewed the integration and found no issues. No new app or live-provider testing was performed for this merge.
Settings, driver-capability and web-preview regressions fail on main at ade473018d. Explicit Copilot choices are retained; disabled instances and other Registry agents are rejected. Two shared-helper assertions fail at 10942f3b for default IDs configured with another driver. With the fix, the actual driver determines fallback eligibility and its cheap model. The real settings service falls back to Claude rather than Copilot after another writer is disabled.
Real-subprocess tests cover launch isolation, authentication-field copying, rejected tools and permissions, malformed configuration, cleanup, default versus selected models, cancelled and empty responses, and cumulative output limits on both sides of the boundary. Three additional mutations fail directly for per-chunk counting, an inclusive limit, and accepting a completed tool call. Of the seven original mutation checks, five failed through assertions and two reached the global test timeout; those two are not direct timing assertions.
A resolver-failure regression reproduced arbitrary error text in the user-facing launch error. The helper now reports only the Registry reason category and retains the original error as its cause. The regression checks that free-form text is excluded and no Copilot process starts. The 11-test helper suite passes.
Pre-merge vp run check:changed: passed at 44cc9872b2: 177 tests in 6 files, typecheck of 40 affected packages, format, lint, knip, GraphQL and the focused React compiler check.
On Fedora with Copilot CLI 1.0.107 and GPT-6 Luna, a standalone adversarial request reported zero tools and permission requests and wrote no marker file. The production helper also generated a real title through local-source catalog resolution.
In the running web app, baseline Copilot was available but text generation was unavailable. The new picker accepted GPT-6 Luna and retained it after reload. A free Replay coding turn triggered the real Registry-source Copilot driver to generate "Persist Remember-Me Choice Across Restarts" in about 4.8 seconds. This used an existing executable override and the official registry index cached in isolated development state after the server's index fetch failed. Registry package installation was not exercised. The test server used an isolated Copilot profile and T3 home and was stopped afterward.
Independent GPT-6.1 Sol High review covered the complete Anthropic implementation and found the aliased-instance fallback defect described above. It was corrected. Claude Opus 5.5 High independently reviewed the OpenAI follow-up and final description and found no blocking issues at c771190304f6 and on the launch-error correction at 44cc9872b2.
Before:
After explicitly choosing Copilot:
Generated title through the running app:
Not verified: macOS, Windows, native desktop/mobile, or sign-in stored in the system keychain or plaintext configuration. This laptop authenticated without stored sign-in fields. Native tool removal relies on the behavior observed in 1.0.107. The helper omits --no-auto-update because that flag selected an older bundled 1.0.82 in the standalone install; Copilot's cached runtime can change independently of the Registry package version. Reasoning effort is not applied because Copilot advertises no ACP option for it.
Implemented by Claude Opus 5.5 High through Claude Code and GPT-6.1 Sol High through Codex, in T3 Code. Independent reviews used GPT-6.1 Sol High for the Anthropic implementation and Claude Opus 5.5 High for the OpenAI follow-up.
…text
With GitHub Copilot from the ACP Registry as the only provider, no text
generation model could be selected, so thread titles, branch names,
commit messages and PR text could not be generated.
Copilot instances now report text generation support and run each
request in a one-off helper: fixed launch arguments that remove every
native tool, deny rules as a backstop, a throwaway COPILOT_HOME that
receives only the sign-in keys from the user's config.json, a temp
working directory, and COPILOT_ALLOW_ALL stripped from the environment.
The selected model is passed with --model and saved session options are
ignored. Tool reports, permission requests and client tool requests
fail the request immediately.
The server keeps an explicit Copilot selection but never falls back to
one, because each request spends the user's Copilot plan. The settings
picker now previews only providers the server would fall back to, so a
Copilot-only user sees "Choose model" until they pick Copilot.
Adapts the Copilot detection, selection check and helper structure from
mdelura/t3code@30a7240 (discussion pingdotgg#31680).

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Copilot text generation is explicitly selected and runs with isolated configuration and tools disabled. The PR also changes automatic provider/model fallback behavior, which requires human confirmation of the intended product default.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
The ACP Registry driver now supports text generation for Copilot settings. The runner uses isolated temporary directories and restricted ACP interactions. Selection logic retains explicit Copilot selections and filters automatic fallback candidates by driver eligibility.
Changes: Copilot text-generation integration

Summary
Identify and wire Copilot Registry providers packages/provider-acp-registry/src/settings.ts, packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/adapter.ts, packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/driver.ts, packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/driver.test.ts
A shared settings guard identifies Copilot by Registry agent ID or local command path. The driver uses this check to advertise text-generation support and construct the Copilot implementation.
Run Copilot-backed text generation packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/copilotTextGeneration.ts, packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/testFixtures/*, packages/provider-acp-registry/src/server/copilotTextGeneration.test.ts, knip.jsonc
The runner copies only listed sign-in fields into a temporary Copilot home, launches the CLI with restricted arguments, and handles ACP output, errors, cancellation, and size limits. Tests use a mock agent to check successful and rejected requests. Knip registers the package and test fixture.
Explicit selection accepts Copilot ACP settings. Automatic fallback filters candidates by driver eligibility, using the configured instance driver when available. Tests cover server retention and web fallback behavior. The provider documentation describes Copilot text generation and its restrictions.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ee777
On managed Copilot installations, a policy hook may receive text-generation prompts even though the documentation says requests run without hooks. Clarify that exception before users rely on the stated isolation; the remaining risk is bounded.

Autofix · Keep fixing CodeRabbit findings and required CI, and resolving merge conflicts
Remove cause.message from the TextGenerationError detail.
The detail string embeds cause.message. AcpRegistryError.message returns its free-form detail field. That field can carry arbitrary text. The repository rules require the error message to be fixed or built from bounded attributes. The immediate failure already stays in cause. Use the normalized reason category instead.
♻️ Proposed fix
- detail: `Could not launch GitHub Copilot: ${cause.message}`,+ detail: `Could not launch GitHub Copilot (${cause.reason}).`,
As per path instructions: "Errors should be typed, structured, and bounded: do not expose raw payloads, command arguments/output, credentials, or arbitrary defect text in attributes or logs; retain the immediate underlying failure as cause."

Fixed the CodeRabbit review-body comment in 44cc9872b2. The helper now uses the bounded Registry reason in its user-facing launch error. The original failure stays in cause. The regression reproduced the arbitrary-text leak before the fix and now verifies the bounded detail, original cause and absence of a process launch. The 11 helper tests and vp run check:changed pass, including 177 tests in six files and typecheck of 40 affected packages. Independent Claude Opus 5.5 High review found no blocking issues.
For the Macroscope request about fallback policy, the automatic-fallback driver allowlist is unchanged. The shared helper now checks the actual configured driver behind an instance ID, so an ACP Copilot instance stored under codex cannot consume Copilot quota implicitly. The picker previews the same eligibility the server uses. Copilot requires an explicit choice. Maintainer confirmation of that product behavior is still pending, as disclosed in the description and unanswered discussion #31680; no maintainer approval is claimed.
I would like this to be merged, I have this exact issue that I need solved so I have a nicer experience using T3 code at work, I only have access to github copilot and t3 code support for it is limited, no limits showing, no text generation etc
verified the unchanged head 44cc9872b23178682ac7f45bf9900a5913466f43 on linux with repo Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome, separate isolated dev homes, and one dev server at a time.
reproduced on github/main (7171fdd771): with copilot available and codex/claude disabled, text generation says "No text generation providers available."
on this head, explicitly selected copilot's default model and reloaded; the selection persisted.
created the project and threads through the app against a real disposable git repo. coding turns used codex gpt-6.1-sol. the actual copilot cli 1.0.108 generated the initial title, regenerated a manually renamed title, generated branch t3/add-copilot-output-checklist, and generated commit message chore: document repository verification purpose. the app created commit 7afb49e in that disposable repo.
server traces report successful CopilotTextGeneration.generateThreadTitle, generateBranchName, and generateCommitMessage calls. switching text generation to codex also produced a successful title call; disabling codex returned to "Choose model" without silently selecting copilot.
175 existing focused tests passed in 5 files through blacksmith. github ci is green. no source changes or pushes were needed.
native desktop/mobile, macos/windows, remote/relay/tunnel, registry package installation (used the supported local ACP command path), non-default copilot models, pr-text generation/publishing, and adversarial tool attempts. this account rejected copilot models gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6-luna; copilot's real default model worked. codex used gpt-6.1-sol successfully. no additional pr was created to exercise publishing.
