Add Azure DevOps work items to Up next #3794

Description

Summary

The global Up next panel (cross-session inbox of assigned PRs / issues) currently only surfaces GitHub items. For projects backed by Azure DevOps repos — which the app already supports as projects — Up next is empty. Requesting that assigned ADO work items appear alongside GitHub items in the same panel. (Active ADO PRs would be a natural extension once work items land.)

Repro

Preconditions: the bundled ado-mcp server is authenticated against an Azure DevOps organisation, and the signed-in identity has at least one assigned open work item.

  1. Create a project in this Copilot CLI desktop app pointing at one or more Azure DevOps Git repos (no GitHub remote).
  2. Open the global Up next panel.
  3. Expected: assigned ADO work items appear.
  4. Actual: Up next is empty for that project. The project metadata exposed to the agent shows the GitHub repo field as unresolved for ADO-backed repos, which appears to leave the existing inbox path without a provider to query.

Proposed shape

  • Per-project optional config: one ADO org + project + WIQL query. Suggested default: [System.AssignedTo] = @Me AND [System.State] NOT IN ('Closed','Removed','Done','Completed') — treat as a starting default; ADO states are process-dependent so users should be able to override.
  • Auth: reuse the ADO token already accepted by the bundled ado-mcp server. No new auth surface.
  • Render inline in Up next with a small provider badge so users can tell GitHub items from ADO items.

Active ADO PRs (author / reviewer) and multi-source / multi-org support are natural follow-ups, out of scope for this ask.

Workaround I'm running today

A per-project scheduled workflow queries my ADO queue via ado-mcp and renders an inbox widget inside a session — useful but session-scoped, so the global Up next stays empty.

Environment

  • Copilot CLI v1.0.62, macOS / Tauri desktop
  • Bundled ado-mcp server, authenticated against an Azure DevOps organisation
