Describe the bug
theme: "auto" produces no color distinction in iTerm2 — all text appears in similar muted tones.
Setting theme: "dark" explicitly in ~/.copilot/config.json restores correct colors immediately.
This is a regression from ~2 versions ago. Same iTerm2 config, same shell (zsh + oh-my-zsh),
colors worked fine before.
Steps to reproduce
- Use iTerm2 with any dark color scheme
- Have
"theme": "auto" in config (the default)
- Launch
copilot — output has no color distinction
Workaround
Set "theme": "dark" explicitly in ~/.copilot/config.json.
Environment
- Copilot CLI: 1.0.10
- macOS (Darwin), Apple Silicon
- iTerm2 3.6.9
- TERM=xterm-256color (profile), xterm-color (in session)
- COLORTERM=truecolor
- COLORFGBG=15;0 (correctly indicates dark bg)
- Shell: zsh + oh-my-zsh
- Terminal.app with same shell config works fine with
auto
