+GitHub Copilot Agent with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
+
+This sample demonstrates how to configure GitHubCopilotAgent to route model requests through
+your own endpoint (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or an OpenAI-compatible service such as
+vLLM/LiteLLM/Ollama) instead of the default GitHub Copilot backend, using the Copilot SDK's
+BYOK support.
+
+Set the following environment variables before running:
+    BYOK_PROVIDER_TYPE - Provider type ("openai", "azure", "anthropic"). Defaults to "openai".
+    BYOK_BASE_URL      - Base URL of your provider endpoint.
+    BYOK_API_KEY       - API key for that endpoint.
+    BYOK_MODEL_ID      - Model name to request (e.g. "gpt-4o"). Defaults to "gpt-4o".
+
+SECURITY NOTE: BYOK uses static credentials (no automatic token refresh) and usage is tracked
+by your provider rather than GitHub. Keep API keys out of source control; load them from
+environment variables or a secret store, as shown here.
