Research direction

Start by reproducing the prompt in a macOS program using the Copilot SDK with BYOK, then trace which SDK entry point causes Node to access the copilot-cli keychain item. Done means explaining why that access occurs and preventing the unnecessary warning when the user's own API keys are configured.
