Session Auto-Rename does not work anymore #3365

Description

@ronny8360988

Describe the bug

The title of the AI session or the terminal in which the Copilot CLI session is ongoing captures the last prompt, instead of capturing an AI-generated title of the session.

See for example:

Also, running /rename with no parameters fails:

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.49-1.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Start copilot CLI by running "copilot".
  2. Write a prompt.
  3. Hit Enter.
  4. The title is just the prompt, instead of some AI generated title

Expected behavior

The title should be an AI-generated description of the session

Additional context

I am running copilot on a Window device. Also confirmed that the same behavior exists for other uses in Windows.
