Describe the bug
I've installed Copilot according to the guide. It works. I've got my ghu_ creds in my ~/.config/github-copilot/hosts.json, etc. However, every time I re-launch the app, it asks me to sign in to github again.
I also did the "cancel" option while trying to connect, which then suggests for me to use the PAT approach. This approach simply does not work with VS Codium.
Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific
[X] This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.
In fact, Microsoft VS Code has a similar, but different bug. It also asks me to sign in every time, but the web sign in (from weird complex github links) doesn't work, however the PAT seems to, so when I do the same "try another method", it immediately realizes that things are actually fine and leaves me be, without trying to launch a browser.
Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented
The "Sign in to GitHub" section in the index does not solve my problem (unless I misunderstood what I had to do, which I don't exclude).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Find a Linux with Pop-OS! (Ubuntu variant) 22.04 installed
Install VS Codium
Follow the steps in the guide (my version of the extension is GitHub.copilot-1.179.816.vsix)
Sign in via the copilot extension notification box (either method: link or PAT)
Close VS Codium
Open VS Codium again
Expected behavior
Not being asked to connect every time. Even VS Code's version of the bug (which is 3 quick clicks to resolve, a bit annoying, but much less time-consuming than the 8 hex digit captcha-ish launch for Codium) is an improvement.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Pop! OS (Ubuntu) 22.04
Architecture: x86_64
Version: 1.87.2
App Manager: apt ? flatpak ? downloaded via the pop shop which uses flatpak for vscodium
