Description
On a fresh install of Copilot CLI v1.0.48-0 on Windows ARM64, launching copilot fails with:
Native addon "runtime" not found for win32-arm64.
Root Cause
The universal package at ~/.copilot/pkg/universal/1.0.48-0/prebuilds/ ships runtime.node for all platforms except win32-arm64:
prebuilds/darwin-arm64/runtime.node OK
prebuilds/darwin-x64/runtime.node OK
prebuilds/linux-arm64/runtime.node OK
prebuilds/linux-x64/runtime.node OK
prebuilds/win32-x64/runtime.node OK
prebuilds/win32-arm64/runtime.node MISSING
There is a file at prebuilds/win32-arm64/win32-x64/runtime.node, but it is an x64 binary. Placing it at the expected path produces "is not a valid Win32 application" because the ARM64 Node process cannot load an x64 native addon.
Comparison with v1.0.47
Version 1.0.47 shipped the correct ARM64 runtime at a different path: native/runtime/runtime.win32-arm64-msvc.node. This file works correctly when copied to prebuilds/win32-arm64/runtime.node in v1.0.48-0.
Workaround
Copy the ARM64 runtime from v1.0.47 (if still cached locally):
Copy-Item ~/.copilot/pkg/universal/1.0.47/native/runtime/runtime.win32-arm64-msvc.node ~/.copilot/pkg/universal/1.0.48-0/prebuilds/win32-arm64/runtime.node
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 ARM64
- Copilot CLI: 1.0.48-0 (installed via winget)
- Architecture: ARM64 native (copilot.exe is ARM64)
