# Linux: ~/.config/blender/<version>/scripts/startup/

import bpy

def _auto_start():
    try:
        bpy.context.scene.copilot_port = 9876
        bpy.ops.copilot.start()
        print("[Copilot] Auto-started")
    except:
        pass
    return None

def register():
    bpy.app.timers.register(_auto_start, first_interval=3.0)
