Context
Multiple Copilot-engine workflows are failing immediately at entrypoint:
[entrypoint][ERROR] Copilot CLI requires Node.js, but 'node' is not available inside AWF chroot.
[entrypoint][ERROR] Ensure Node.js is installed on the runner and reachable from PATH inside the chroot.
This is a sandbox-bootstrap regression, not user error. The entrypoint already hints at the fix: "verify the install path is present and bind-mounted into /host".
Affected workflows (24h–48h sample)
Why it matters
Five workflows fail every scheduled run for free — this is the dominant signature in today's [aw] failed issue cohort. Open [aw] *failed count climbed from 9 → 11 in 24h, with most of the new additions coming from this single root cause.
Proposed fix
In the AWF chroot setup step (likely in the activation job template), bind-mount /opt/hostedtoolcache/node (the runner-cached Node from actions/setup-node) into the chroot, or chain setup-node before AWF chroot activation. Once node is on PATH inside the chroot, the Copilot CLI entrypoint succeeds.
Suggested agent
A workflow-infrastructure-aware agent (e.g. PR Sous Chef on a chroot-related branch) — needs to touch the activation job template, not the workflow markdowns.
Estimated effort
Small: a single change to the chroot bootstrap script + verifying one of the failing workflows now runs to completion.
