-* **{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} does not sign its commits**.

If you have configured a ruleset or branch protection rule that isn't compatible with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} (for example the "Require signed commits" rule), access to the agent will be blocked. If the rule is configured using rulesets, you can add {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} as a bypass actor to enable access.

 * **{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} does not work in personal repositories owned by {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users %}**.

See [AUTOTITLE](/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners).
 * **{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} doesn't account for content exclusions**. Content exclusions allow administrators to configure {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to ignore certain files. When using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will not ignore these files, and will be able to see and update them.
