This PR adds copilot-swe-agent[bot] to the CLA allowlist in the GitHub Actions workflow configuration to ensure that Copilot contributions are exempted from CLA signing requirements.

Changes

Updated .github/workflows/cla.yml to include copilot-swe-agent[bot] in the allowlist parameter. This bot account is now treated consistently with other automated contributors like dependabot[bot], which are already allowlisted.

Before:

allowlist: dependabot[bot],stesee

After:

allowlist: dependabot[bot],stesee,copilot-swe-agent[bot]

Rationale

Bot accounts should not be required to sign the CLA as they are automated tools rather than individual contributors. This change ensures that Copilot-generated contributions can be properly merged without triggering CLA verification failures.

Original prompt

Add Copilot to the allowlist in the cla.yml file if not already present. If the cla.yml file does not exist, create one in the appropriate location with Copilot in the allowlist. The goal is to ensure Copilot is listed as an allowed contributor for CLA checks.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.
