Update ARC/DinD guide: remove resolved MCP gateway Docker socket limitation #46042

Description

@lpcox

Summary

The "Known limitations" section in docs/src/content/docs/guides/arc-dind-copilot-agent.md has two items that need updating:

1. MCP gateway Docker socket access — resolved, remove

The second bullet references #44251, which was closed on July 10, 2026. The shared-volume workaround is no longer needed.

Remove the known-limitations bullet and the corresponding "Docker daemon is not accessible in MCP gateway" troubleshooting entry (including the YAML snippet).

2. allowPrivilegeEscalation: falsekeep, but clarify

This limitation is still real but the current wording ("The Copilot CLI install script uses sudo") is imprecise. The actual sudo calls are in actions/setup/sh/install_copilot_cli.sh:

  • sudo tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin ... — extracting the binary
  • sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/copilot — making it executable
  • sudo chown -R ... — fixing ownership of .copilot dirs created by chroot
  • sudo install -m 0755 ... — installing a wrapper script

Note that the AWF install script (install_awf_binary.sh) already supports --rootless mode (installs to ~/.local/ without sudo), so this limitation is specific to the Copilot CLI install, not AWF itself.

Update the bullet to clarify it is the Copilot CLI binary installation (not AWF) that requires sudo, and reference the tracking issue for rootless Copilot CLI installation support.

Why

Stale limitations erode trust in the guide and cause operators to apply unnecessary workarounds. Imprecise wording makes it harder to understand what is actually constrained.
