squad copilot subcommand hardcoded to .ai-team/ path #175
Description
Bug
The \copilot\ subcommand in \index.js\ (line 642) is hardcoded to look for .ai-team/team.md:
\\js
const teamMd = path.join(dest, '.ai-team', 'team.md');
\\
This should use \detectSquadDir()\ (which already exists and correctly handles both .squad/\ and .ai-team/), but the copilot subcommand bypasses it.
Expected
\squad copilot\ should work with repos using .squad/\ (the v0.5.0+ default directory name).
Actual
\squad copilot\ fails with \No squad found\ on any repo that uses .squad/\ instead of .ai-team/.
Workaround
Create a junction/symlink: \New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path .ai-team -Target .squad, run the command, then remove the junction.
Version
Squad v0.5.4

Thank you for the clear bug report and workaround, @uvirk. The copilot subcommand hardcoding
.ai-team/instead of respecting directory detection was a real issue.This is now fixed: The CLI was replatformed to TypeScript (v0.8.18+), and the copilot command now lives in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/copilot.ts. It properly usesdetectSquadDir()to handle both.squad/and legacy.ai-team/configurations. The entire codebase moved to.squad/as the standard structure, so hardcoded paths are gone.Versions v0.8.18 and later have this fix included.

Resolved in v0.8.18+ via the TypeScript replatform. The copilot subcommand now properly uses detectSquadDir().
