Pull request overview
Updates the Copilot coding agent setup workflow so the agent reliably receives required environment variables (notably COMPOSABLE_MACHINE_SLOWNESS) by writing them to $GITHUB_ENV, aligning with GitHub Copilot agent workflow constraints.
Changes:
- Removed the job-level
env:block from thecopilot-setup-stepsjob. - Added a dedicated step that exports
COMPOSABLE_MACHINE_SLOWNESS,DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT, andDOTNET_NOLOGOvia$GITHUB_ENV.

Per GitHub docs, the

The job-levelenv:block is silently ignored, soCOMPOSABLE_MACHINE_SLOWNESSwas never being set in the agent environment — risking performance test failures.COMPOSABLE_MACHINE_SLOWNESS,DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT, andDOTNET_NOLOGOfrom job-levelenv:into a step writing to$GITHUB_ENV✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
