fix: install CLI from cloned SDK to match test harness version

brunoborges · brunoborges · commit 765f57f346e3 · 2026-01-29T01:17:05.000-05:00
The build was failing because we were installing the latest @github/copilot
CLI globally, but the test harness in the official SDK is designed for a
specific CLI version locked in nodejs/package-lock.json.

This change:
- Moves CLI installation to after the SDK is cloned (mvn compile)
- Installs the CLI from the cloned SDK's nodejs directory using 'npm ci'
- Uses the same installation pattern as the official SDK's workflow

This ensures version compatibility between the CLI and test harness.
