When I open app I don't see the list of models- only Auto. This issue isn't permanent. Sometimes it picks models from my GH account. In the same time Github CLI always works and properly sees models.

I think I found how to reproduce it.

Step 1. GH Copilot app -> auth -> all works = see list of models / can use them

Step 2. GH Copilot CLI -> it seems it can't reuse auth token, error in console : Error loading model list: Error: 401 "checking third-party user token: unauthorised: Personal Access Token does not have "Copilot Requests" permission\n"

Step 2.1. Auth in CH Copilot CLI - now it works, can see and use models. BUT models disappear in GH Copilot App and I can see only Auto.

To fix GH Copilot app, I need to log out, remove ~/.copilot, and repeat step 1.

Commenting out the environment var with a Personal Access Token used for autonomous flows fixed the issue.
