Research direction

Start with debug.md and the failed Goal run linked in the issue, then review .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md for the recommended workflow-debugging process. Trace the copilot engine's HTTP 401 authentication failure and rerun the Goal workflow; done means the workflow completes without the reported agent failure.
