Copilot is the only AI provider type that could not be added through the `/ai/settings` UI. The aibridge runtime and the env-var seeding path already supported it, but the runtime CRUD API rejected `type=copilot` and the UI omitted it entirely. The root cause is that Copilot's auth model (a per-request GitHub OAuth token, with no pre-shared key) does not fit the credential-centric add-provider flow that every other provider uses.
## Backend
Allow `type=copilot` in `CreateAIProviderRequest.Validate()`, and reject `api_keys` for Copilot on both create (validation) and update (handler sentinel), mirroring the existing Bedrock guards. Copilot carries no stored credential.
## Frontend
Add Copilot to the provider type picker (with the `github-copilot.svg` icon) and give the form a credential-free branch: name, display name, and a free-text endpoint defaulting to `https://api.business.githubcopilot.com`, with copy explaining that authentication happens via the user's GitHub token at request time. Copilot maps to the distinct `copilot` wire type rather than collapsing to `openai`, and the edit flow recovers it correctly.
The endpoint stays required with a business-tier default; users on the individual or enterprise endpoints edit the field.

AI Gateway only supports Anthropic (+Bedrock), OpenAI, and Copilot providers at present. All other types (Vercel, Gemini, etc) will be mapped to OpenAI since they support OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Previously the in-process aibridge daemon and the enterprise aibridgeproxy daemon both snapshotted their provider routing once at boot. Any `ai_providers` or `ai_provider_keys` mutation required a restart for either to pick it up.
Add an `ai_providers_changed` pubsub channel that the CRUD handlers publish on after Create / Update / Delete. Both daemons subscribe:
- **aibridged** rebuilds its `[]aibridge.Provider` snapshot via `BuildProviders` and swaps it into the pool atomically. Inflight requests keep serving against the bridge they already acquired; new acquires build against the new snapshot. Per-provider construction errors stay scoped to the offending row.
- **aibridgeproxyd** rebuilds its routing snapshot from `GetAIProviders` and swaps the host→provider map atomically. The MITM listener picks up new providers without restart.
DB read for aibridgeproxyd uses the existing `AsAIProviderMetadataReader` subject for routing-only access.
