+  explicit approval for the CLI. VS Code agent permissions are session and

 - Local verification found no copilot binary. The gh copilot help command
   identified a preview wrapper that would download the CLI if absent; no
   download or session was started.
-- The neural executable, PATH, Brain access, and command behavior must be
-  verified in each target environment.
