                                       Bypasses dangerous port restrictions. Auto-enables host access.
                                       WARNING: Allowing port 22 grants SSH access to the host.

    --anthropic-auto-cache                         Enable Anthropic prompt-cache optimizations in the API proxy (requires --enable-api-proxy).
                                       Injects cache breakpoints on tools/system/messages, upgrades TTL to 1h,
                                       and strips ANSI codes — typically saves ~90% on Anthropic API input costs. (default: false)

                                       Format: comma-separated model:multiplier pairs, e.g.
                                       claude-opus-4-5-1m:10,claude-opus-4-5-200k:2.5
                                       Multipliers must be positive numbers. Models without
                                       a multiplier default to 1×.

                                       The DIFC proxy must be started externally (e.g., by the gh-aw compiler).
    --difc-proxy-ca-cert <path>                    Path to TLS CA cert written by the external DIFC proxy.

    --session-state-dir <path>                     Directory to save Copilot CLI session state (events.jsonl, session data)
    --diagnostic-logs                              Collect container logs, exit state, and sanitized config on non-zero exit.
                                       Useful for debugging container startup failures (e.g. Squid crashes in DinD).
                                       Written to <workDir>/diagnostics/ (or <audit-dir>/diagnostics/ when set). (default: false)
