Also, in the last step, it shows:

I couldn't write files with the available read-only tools, so please paste this into `\.github\copilot-instructions.md`:

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 0.0.419

Steps to reproduce the behavior

copilot init

Expected behavior

All tools should be exist. Maybe?
