Deleting /home/runner/.copilot/mcp-config.json here will likely break later agent execution: the Copilot engine sets GH_AW_MCP_CONFIG to this path when MCP servers are enabled, and the runtime expects the file to exist during the actual Copilot CLI run. If cleanup is desired for security, consider moving it to the end of the job (e.g., in stop_mcp_gateway.sh or a dedicated always() cleanup step) or gating it behind an opt-in env flag so the config remains available for the agent.
