should this be called before calling configManager.Save(...) ???

I don't see a new call to save the config after this, so the setting might be applied only on memory but not persisted?


console.Message(ctx, "\nGitHub Copilot has been enabled to support this new experience."+
" To turn off in the future run `azd config unset ai.agent.model.type`.")
}
fallthrough
