Implementation Summary:

✅ .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml

• Job named exactly copilot-setup-steps as required
• Detects and supports npm/pnpm/yarn package managers automatically
• Uses Node.js 22 to match repository requirements (engines field)
• Enables Git LFS checkout with lfs: true
• Installs ffmpeg for media processing
• 30-minute timeout (well under 59-minute Copilot limit)
• Compatible with larger runners (documented in comments)
• Triggers on workflow changes and manual dispatch

✅ copilot_firewall_config.md

• Comprehensive firewall configuration guide
• StreamVault-specific allowlist for Cloudflare Stream, Stripe, and Firebase APIs
• Clear instructions for repository settings configuration
• Troubleshooting guidance and security best practices
• Notes on larger runners and Git LFS integration

Both files follow the exact specifications in the problem statement and are ready for GitHub Copilot agent use.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

This pull request adds a GitHub Actions workflow to preconfigure the GitHub Copilot coding agent’s ephemeral environment and includes a repository guide for configuring the agent firewall.

What’s included

• Preinstall tools/dependencies for the Copilot agent using a special copilot-setup-steps job.
• Enable Git LFS checkout for repositories using LFS.
• Install ffmpeg for media-related tests and processing.
• Keep the workflow compatible with Copilot’s allowed fields and time limits.
• Add a markdown guide to configure the agent firewall using the recommended allowlist plus a minimal custom allowlist for StreamVault’s stack (Cloudflare Stream, Stripe test, and select Google/Firebase APIs).

Notes

• The copilot-setup-steps.yml workflow must be present on the default branch to be picked up by Copilot.
• Larger runners (e.g., ubuntu-4-core) require prior provisioning in repo/org settings. We default to ubuntu-latest here; once larger runners are provisioned, you can switch runs-on accordingly.

Please create the following files exactly as specified.

# Customizing or disabling the firewall for GitHub Copilot coding agent

Copilot coding agent uses an outbound firewall by default to reduce data exfiltration risk. You can keep the recommended allowlist and add a minimal custom allowlist for required third‑party APIs.

Where to configure
- Repository Settings → Code & automation → Copilot → coding agent

Recommended settings
- Enable firewall: ON
- Recommended allowlist: ON
- Custom allowlist: add only what you need

Suggested custom allowlist for StreamVault
- Cloudflare Stream API (narrow URL is safer):
  - https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID>/stream/
  - Or broader: Domain: api.cloudflare.com
- Playback CDN (if tests fetch sample content):
  - Domain: videodelivery.net
- Stripe API (use test keys in CI):
  - Domain: api.stripe.com
- Google/Firebase (only those used by tests/build):
  - Domains: firestore.googleapis.com, firebase.googleapis.com, storage.googleapis.com

How the firewall behaves
- If a blocked request occurs, Copilot will add a warning to the PR or comment indicating the blocked address and the command that attempted it. Use that signal to refine the allowlist.

Disabling the firewall (not recommended)
- Toggle “Enable firewall” to OFF. This allows the agent to connect to any host and increases exfiltration risk. Prefer targeted allowlisting.

Notes
- Larger runners and self-hosted runners: Copilot supports GitHub‑hosted Ubuntu x64 runners only. To use larger runners, provision them first in Settings → Actions → Runners → Larger runners, then update the `runs-on` label in `.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml`.
- Git LFS: The setup workflow checks out with `lfs: true` to ensure LFS objects are available to the agent.

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
