Anil Pai d3ffe15311 copilot_chat: Return true context window size (#47557)
## Fix incorrect context size limits for GitHub Copilot Chat models

Fixes #44909

### Problem

The agent panel was displaying incorrect token limits for GitHub Copilot
models. Users reported that:
- The agent panel always showed a **128K token limit** for all GitHub
Copilot models, regardless of their actual context window size
- Claude models (e.g., Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Claude Opus 4.5) were showing
~90K instead of their actual 200K context window
- GPT-4o was showing 110K instead of its actual 128K context window
- Users could continue using models beyond the displayed limit, which
worked but was confusing

### Root Cause

The `max_token_count()` method in `copilot_chat.rs` was returning
`max_prompt_tokens` instead of `max_context_window_tokens`:

```rust
// Before (incorrect)
pub fn max_token_count(&self) -> u64 {
    self.capabilities.limits.max_prompt_tokens
}
```

GitHub's API returns three different token-related fields:
- `max_context_window_tokens`: The **full context window size** (e.g.,
200K for Claude 3.7)
- `max_prompt_tokens`: GitHub's limit for prompt input (e.g., 90K for
Claude 3.7)
- `max_output_tokens`: Maximum output tokens (e.g., 16K)

The `max_token_count()` method in the `LanguageModel` trait is expected
to return the **full context window size** — this is consistent with all
other providers (Anthropic returns 200K for Claude, OpenAI returns 128K
for GPT-4o, etc.).

### Solution

/>


Changed `max_token_count()` to return `max_context_window_tokens`:

```rust
// After (correct)
pub fn max_token_count(&self) -> u64 {
    self.capabilities.limits.max_context_window_tokens as u64
}
```

### Impact

| Model | Before | After |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Claude 3.7 Sonnet | 90,000 | **200,000** |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 90,000 | **200,000** |
| GPT-4o | 110,000 | **128,000** |

### Testing

Added a new test
`test_max_token_count_returns_context_window_not_prompt_tokens` that:

1. Deserializes model JSON with distinct `max_context_window_tokens` and
`max_prompt_tokens` values
2. Verifies Claude 3.7 Sonnet returns 200,000 (context window), not
90,000 (prompt tokens)
3. Verifies GPT-4o returns 128,000 (context window), not 110,000 (prompt
tokens)

All existing tests continue to pass:
```
running 4 tests
test tests::test_unknown_vendor_resilience ... ok
test tests::test_max_token_count_returns_context_window_not_prompt_tokens ... ok
test tests::test_resilient_model_schema_deserialize ... ok
test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed
```


Release Notes:

- copilot: Fixed incorrect context window size displayed for GitHub

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
