… optional Without GH_TOKEN the example sends 'Authorization: Bearer ' (empty) and the run fails with a misleading MCP 400. The default api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ endpoint requires authentication, so document the token as required and show how to set it from the gh CLI.

One-line doc fix in
examples/agents/54-software-bug-assistant.ts.The header comment claimed
GH_TOKENis optional, but without it the example buildsAuthorization: Bearer(empty credential) and the run fails deep inside MCP tool listing with a misleading error:The default
api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/endpoint requires authentication (without the header it returns 401 "missing required Authorization header"), so the token is semantically required — the?? ''fallback only converts a missing-config error into a malformed-request error. This documents it as required and shows the quickest way to set it (export GH_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)).No code behavior changes. Verified the example passes end-to-end against conductor-oss 3.32.0-rc18 with a real token (COMPLETED, 11 tool calls incl. live GitHub MCP).
For parity: python-sdk's
54_software_bug_assistant.pyalready documentsGH_TOKENas a plain requirement.
