[/diagnose] The pattern correction is accurate — actionlint emits unknown permission scope "copilot-requests", not the quoted-string form the old rule expected. The old rule was effectively dead (never matched), leaving all 123 false-positives alive.

One forward-looking note: if additional Copilot-engine-only scopes appear (e.g. copilot-plan-requests), each will need its own ignore entry. Consider whether a broader pattern like unknown permission scope "copilot- covers future scopes more durably, or whether per-scope precision is intentional.

💡 Verifying the fix

Run actionlint against any lock file that uses copilot-requests: write to confirm zero [permissions] errors remain:
