Bumps the Copilot coding agent model used by the weekly stable updates workflow from claude-opus-4.6 to claude-opus-4.8.

Notes:

  • claude-opus-4.8 is not in the currently documented model list at https://docs.github.com/en/rest/agent-tasks/agent-tasks (which still lists claude-opus-4.6 as the latest Opus). The docs explicitly call out that "the allowed models may change over time and depend on the user's GitHub Copilot plan and organization policies," so we're trying it empirically; if the assignment API rejects it we can revert.
  • Also dropped the model version from the step name (now just "Assign issue to Copilot") so it doesn't drift out of sync on future bumps.

Bumps the model used when assigning the weekly stable updates issue to the Copilot coding agent from claude-opus-4.6 to claude-opus-4.8. Also drops the model version from the step name so it doesn't go stale on future bumps.
