Why:

The BYOK documentation for GitHub Copilot CLI was missing several supported environment variables and contained an incorrect Azure provider base URL format. These updates improve the completeness and accuracy of the documentation and simplify the Azure configuration by removing the deployment-name dependency from the base URL.

Closes:

Closes #44864
