Allow custom Auto model-routing preferences #2242

Description

@thesiddharth

Feature request

Allow users to configure task-aware preferences for Auto model selection in the GitHub Copilot app.

For example:

  • Prefer GPT-5.6 Terra for straightforward coding tasks, focused edits, simple questions, and routine explanations.
  • Prefer GPT-5.6 Sol for architecture/design work, complex debugging, security review, multi-file refactors, and other involved changes.

These preferences should be advisory rather than absolute: the router may still choose another enabled model when availability, reliability, cost, or enterprise policy requires it.

Custom instructions currently affect response behavior but do not influence the model selected by Auto. A dedicated setting would make Auto routing more predictable while preserving enterprise model-access controls.
