@copilot can you please fix this error

[agent 2/12] RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends iptables curl ca-certificates git gh...

Fixed in commit a65e546. Changes made:

  1. Added retry logic for apt-get update (3 attempts with 5-second delays) to handle transient repository failures
  2. Added --fix-missing flag to all apt-get install commands to skip unavailable packages instead of failing
  3. Switched from NodeSource to official Node.js binary distribution - downloads pre-built Node.js 22.13.0 directly from nodejs.org instead of relying on third-party repositories
  4. Added update-ca-certificates to ensure SSL certificate verification works
  5. Added xz-utils dependency for extracting the Node.js tarball

These changes make the build resilient to:

  • Ubuntu repository 404 errors (like the libexpat1 issue)
  • NodeSource repository failures
  • SSL certificate issues

The binary distribution approach is more reliable as it doesn't depend on apt repositories or third-party setup scripts.

Pull request overview

Updates the Docker Compose generation logic to prevent Docker bind-mount failures by ensuring the host-side ~/.copilot/logs directory exists before mounting ~/.copilot read-only and overlaying logs with a separate read-write mount.

Changes:

  • Create ~/.copilot/logs on the host (recursively) before adding Docker volume mounts.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Comment on lines +449 to +452
// Ensure .copilot/logs directory exists on host before mounting
// This is critical: Docker needs the mount point to exist before it can overlay
// the read-write mount on top of the read-only parent mount
const copilotLogsDir = path.join(copilotConfigDir, 'logs');
