Question 400
The issue remains unresolved in a GitHub Copilot workflow: A coding agent proposes a dependency change while implementing a feature request. What failure mechanism should the team investigate first?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the mechanism or missing prerequisite that accounts for the reported failure. Agents can create changes but do not eliminate software supply-chain governance. Correct it by: Review dependency risk, license and test impact before accepting its pull request; confirm with: The approved change includes a vetted dependency and passing tests.
Incorrect Answers
Team membership was mistaken for an active Copilot entitlement. The stated evidence instead indicates: Agent-generated pull requests were trusted without dependency review.
The task was restarted from a vague prompt rather than the saved session. The stated evidence instead indicates: Agent-generated pull requests were trusted without dependency review.
A single global instruction overgeneralized standards that differ by path. The stated evidence instead indicates: Agent-generated pull requests were trusted without dependency review.
