Fix `pr` commands failing with `read:project` scope error

v2.88.0 introduced a regression where pr commands would fail with the error:

error: your authentication token is missing required scopes [read:project]
To request it, run:  gh auth refresh -s read:project

Previously, missing read:project scope was gracefully handled, and project data was silently skipped. A change inadvertently broke the error matching that enabled this graceful degradation. v2.88.1 reverts these changes so that pr commands work correctly without requiring the read:project scope.

Revert "fix: clarify scope error while creating issues for projects" by @williammartin in #12915

Full Changelog: v2.88.0...v2.88.1

@BagToad

Request Copilot Code Review from `gh`

gh pr create and gh pr edit now support Copilot Code Review as a reviewer. Request a review with --add-reviewer @copilot, or select Copilot interactively from the searchable reviewer prompt.

Create a pull request and request review from Copilot:

gh pr create --reviewer @copilot

Edit a pull request and request review from Copilot:

gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot

Close issues as duplicates with `gh issue close --duplicate-of`

You can now close issues as duplicates and link to a duplicate issue directly from the CLI. The new --duplicate-of flag accepts an issue number or URL and marks the closed issue as a duplicate of the referenced one. You can also use --reason duplicate to set the close reason without linking a specific issue.

# Close as duplicate, linking to the original issue
gh issue close 123 --duplicate-of 456

# Close with duplicate reason only
gh issue close 123 --reason duplicate

JSON support for `gh agent-task`

gh agent-task list and gh agent-task view now support --json, --jq, and --template flags, consistent with other gh commands.

gh agent-task list --json id,name,state
gh agent-task view <id> --json state --jq '.state'

`gh workflow run` immediately returns workflow run URL

One of our most requested features - with the latest changes in GitHub API, gh workflow run will immediately print the created workflow run URL.

Improved `gh auth login` experience in VM/WSL environments

We have observed rare cases of time drift between the wall and monotonic clocks, mostly in WSL or VM environments, causing failures during polling for the OAuth token. This new release implements measures to account for such situations.

If you continue to experience gh auth login issues in WSL, please comment in #9370

Request Copilot Code Review from `gh` + performance improvements

gh pr edit now supports Copilot Code Review as a reviewer. You can request a review from Copilot using the --add-reviewer @copilot flag or interactively by selecting reviewers in the prompts.

This release also introduces a new search experience for selecting reviewers and assignees in gh pr edit. Instead of loading all collaborators and teams upfront, results are now fetched based on inputs to a new search option. Initial options are suggestions based on those involved with the pull request already.

? Reviewers  [Use arrows to move, space to select, <right> to all, <left> to none, type to filter]
  [ ]  Search (7472 more)
  [x]  BagToad (Kynan Ware)
> [x]  Copilot (AI)

This experience will follow in gh pr create and gh issue for assignees in a later release.

Install and run GitHub Copilot CLI directly from `gh`

Since we deprecated the GitHub Copilot in the CLI extension in favor of the new agentic GitHub Copilot CLI, we want to give developers using gh a simple way to get started using our most powerful terminal assistant.

gh copilot will prompt to install, then run Copilot CLI
gh copilot <args> will execute the Copilot CLI, forwarding any arguments and flags

For more information and usage options, run gh copilot --help.
