Complete the required agent self-test.
The Copilot entry remains marked not tested. Run the self-test and update the comment with the environment variables found. If Copilot was detected, use the required verification format.

Updated AGENTS.md to document the alias normalization behavior and standardized the comment.
AGENTS.md still used a CJS require that no longer exists; switch the self-test to ESM and spell out COPILOT_AGENT / COPILOT_CLI detection. Leave the copilot entry as not tested until a real Copilot session observes those env vars.
