Research direction
Open content/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/use-byok-models.md and start with "Connecting to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint," comparing the existing OpenAI and local-Ollama examples. Add a short Yolo-Auto example covering the three variables, supported tool-calling and streaming models, and the 131072-token plan limit alongside COPILOT_PROVIDER_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS; done when the gateway setup and token interaction are clear.

Description
Issue body
The Copilot CLI BYOK article (content/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/use-byok-models.md) documents COPILOT_PROVIDER_BASE_URL / COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY / COPILOT_MODEL with OpenAI and local-Ollama examples only.
The openai provider type explicitly covers "any other OpenAI Chat Completions API-compatible endpoint", but a reader connecting a third-party gateway has no worked example showing:
- the three variables with gateway-style values,
- which gateway models satisfy the tool calling + streaming requirements,
- how a provider-enforced plan context window interacts with
COPILOT_PROVIDER_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS.
Proposal: add a short third-party gateway example block to "Connecting to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint". A concrete candidate is Yolo-Auto (https://yolo-auto.com/v1), whose yolo and yolo-small models support tool calling, streaming, and image inputs, and which enforces a 131072-token context window per plan.
