Model examples:
Available models include: claude-sonnet-4.6, claude-sonnet-4.5, claude-haiku-4.5, claude-opus-4.6, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5-mini, gemini-3-pro-preview, and others.
For prompts above 32_000 characters, the extension writes the combined prompt to a burp_uv_prompt_*.txt temp file (POSIX 0600 where supported) and passes its path to Copilot with an instruction to read the file. The temp file is deleted in a finally block once the response is consumed. This avoids OS-level argv/stdin length limits on long contexts.
The extension invokes Copilot CLI with -p (non-interactive) flag, which executes the prompt and exits after completion.
npm-installed CLI shims are resolved automatically on Windows. The extension detects .cmd siblings and uses them instead of shell script shims that Java cannot execute directly.
command not found: use full binary path (e.g., /opt/homebrew/bin/copilot).
Windows: npm shim paths are resolved automatically. If auto-resolution fails, use the full .cmd path.
Auth issues: re-run copilot auth login or verify GitHub session.
Empty output: check Burp extension output/errors tabs and model flag validity.
Model errors: verify model name matches available choices with copilot --help.
