    I have a similar problem every now and then, and these sessions won't appear in the session list, but they are somewhere. Prompting "Load session into this session, /resume doesn't work" is the workaround I use in this case.

    This appears to be resolved as of GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.90. Please update to that release or a newer stable version. We're closing this as completed. If it still happens, please comment with your version and reproduction steps.
