Pull request overview
Warning
Copilot couldn't run its full agentic review because it didn't start before the timeout. Make sure your repository has a runner available, or add a copilot-code-review.yml file specifying one with the runs-on attribute. See the docs for more details.
Adds a repository-level Copilot code review runner configuration so public-repo reviews run on GitHub-hosted runners instead of org self-hosted scale sets.
Changes:
- Introduces a dedicated Copilot code review workflow file (
copilot-code-review.yml). - Forces the Copilot setup job to run on
ubuntu-latestwith read-only contents permissions. - Adds minimal “setup steps” placeholder step.
💡 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.

This repository is public, so Copilot code review cannot use rtCamp self-hosted Actions Runner Controller scale sets, which are not exposed to public repositories.
Adds
.github/workflows/copilot-code-review.yml, which pins Copilot code review toubuntu-latest. The file takes precedence overcopilot-setup-steps.ymland over the organization-level runner type for Copilot code review only; Copilot cloud agent keeps using the organization configuration.No dependencies are installed: Copilot clones the repository and provisions what it needs itself. Repository-specific setup steps can be added to this file later if a review needs extra tooling.
