Research direction

Start by reproducing the login failure on Copilot for Xcode 0.47.0 with Xcode 16.2 on macOS 15.7 after changing the GitHub email address and token. Trace the authentication and credential-refresh entry points to determine why Copilot stops working; done means the account can authenticate and Copilot works again after the credential change.
