Switch from 'gh issue edit --add-assignee @copilot' to the REST API with agent_assignment to specify Claude Opus 4.6 as the model. The simple gh CLI assignee approach doesn't support model selection, causing the agent to default to Auto (which picks Sonnet). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

The default GITHUB_TOKEN lacks permission to assign the Copilot coding agent via GraphQL. Use ANDROID_TEAM_PAT which has the required scopes (same pattern as dotnet/android-libraries#1389). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
