Copilot cloud agent automations

GitHub Copilot cloud agent automations can run from schedules or repository events and produce repo-scoped work such as issue triage, test fixes, or release-note drafts. Why it matters: Scheduled coding agents turn background automation into a governance problem: model choice, owner, repository scope, output review, and recurring token spend all need explicit controls.

Try this: Before enabling an automation, define the trigger, allowed repository scope, expected pull request output, model choice, and a spend or run-frequency limit.
