Summary

Fixes inconsistent documentation regarding Copilot CLI installation and usage.

Changes

  • Updated FAQ to clarify that the Copilot CLI is bundled automatically for Node.js, Python, and .NET SDKs
  • Clarified that Go SDK may still require manual CLI installation
  • Updated Getting Started guide to remove mandatory CLI installation step
  • Improved Local CLI Setup docs to distinguish between bundled and system-installed CLI
  • Added notes about overriding CLI via cliPath and cliUrl
  • Ensured consistent wording across documentation

Why

The previous documentation stated that the Copilot CLI must be installed separately, which contradicts actual SDK behavior where the CLI is bundled for most SDKs.

This caused confusion about:

  • Whether manual installation is required
  • Which CLI instance is used (bundled vs system)
