Github Copilot issue after update

Positron
1

Hi! after updating to 2026.01.0, I cannot use Copilot anymore. I cannot select copilot as a model provider anymore. if I try to manage providers, I get to this window. As you can see I don't have any option to sign in or out. It is unclear what Accounts Menu it is referring to. thanks!

This is due to a change to how Copilot auth works in newer builds! To fix it, go to the Accounts menu and sign out of Github:

Then sign back into Copilot (using the Positron dialog you linked above) and try again. Does that fix it?
