Github copilot failing to authorize
Description
So I'm having issues authorizing opencode with github copilot, the authorization gets stopped very quickly.
I also had issues authenticating the gh cli with github so I suspect this is the same issue as:
https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/9370
Since this is the issue I've had when using gh auth login, for gh cli it's possible to work around the issue as described in comments (basically by being quick and copying the code beforehand).
one solution is to have the challange code shown before you start pooling github.
with debug logs:
