Error message

Solutions

1. Check the status code: 401/403 means re-authenticate with the server
2. For 404, verify workspace id and server version support
3. Ensure Copilot credentials exist on the machine (e.g. gh CLI auth) before importing
4. Fall back to manual token entry if import is unavailable

tok, ok, err := c.ImportCopilot(ctx, wsID)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "status code 4") {
        // fall back to prompting the user for a manual token
        return promptForCopilotToken(ctx)
    }
    return err
}

When it happens

Trigger: Server responds non-200 to the import-copilot request — commonly when no Copilot token exists on the machine/server, or auth to the server fails.

Common situations: User has never authenticated with Copilot on the host, credentials expired, workspace id wrong, or server build predates the endpoint.
