Copilot SDK returns null and may timeout for models requiring enablement (e.g. gpt-5.2-codex) #196

Description

@rust142

Before migrating to the Copilot SDK, my cli tools used the Copilot CLI directly.

When using models like gpt-5.2-codex via the CLI:

  • Copilot returned an interactive response asking the user to enable the model
  • This enablement flow was handled correctly in the CLI integration

After migrating to the Copilot SDK, the same model now results in:

  • null response or
  • request timing out
  • no error
  • no enablement prompt or metadata indicating the model requires activation

This makes the behavior ambiguous and impossible to handle programmatically.
