Add Github Copilot support to the ai-usagebar plugin

[dirkvdb]

Plugin

• Id: felipeartur/ai-usagebar
• New plugin
• Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

Adds GitHub Copilot as a selectable provider in the ai-usagebar plugin. The provider is displayed as Github Copilot and uses the existing GitHub Copilot icon mapping.

ai-usagebar >= 1.12.0 added Github Copilot support

External dependencies

• ai-usagebar — provides usage data for configured AI providers.

Testing

• Tested on Niri
• Tested on Hyprland
• Tested on Sway
• Tested on another compositor:
• Noctalia version tested against: 5.0.1
• Plugin API level: 22

Validation performed:

• Confirmed the plugin shows my github copilot usage

Checklist

• The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
• It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
• README.md follows the README template, documents every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
• thumbnail.webp is present and relevant; for a new plugin I created it with the thumbnail generator, and for an update I regenerated it with the generator if the visual identity or user-facing appearance changed.
• version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
• Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
• I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
• This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

Plugins run as trusted, unsandboxed Luau in the user's session. Confirm:

• The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
• It does not download and execute remote code.
• Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
• I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.

Hi @dirkvdb, thanks for adding this and testing it with your Copilot account! Adding it to the provider selector makes sense, and the existing icon mapping keeps the change small.

Could you make a few adjustments before we move forward?

• Bump the plugin version in plugin.toml.
• Keep the new translation key in en.json, but remove the changes to pt-BR.json and tr.json. The repository handles those through Noctalia Translate.
• Restore the full PR template, including the Checklist and Code review attestation sections. The Hyprland checkbox needs [x] instead of [ x], and the Noctalia version field needs its closing formatting. The bot’s comment lists the missing items.
• Use “GitHub Copilot” consistently in the README and labels.

The implementation looks straightforward from the diff. Thanks for including a screenshot of it working!

The description now contains the required template structure.

Thanks for the updates, @dirkvdb! Nice work adding Copilot support 🤙

• Version bumped to 2.2.1.
• Translation changes kept in en.json.
• PR template and checklist fixed.
• “GitHub Copilot” naming corrected.
• Copilot selector uses the existing provider handling.

That covers my review comments. Approved!
