Session data loss when agency copilot closes

[zachbryant]

Describe the bug

I'll be in the middle of an hours-long session and for one reason or another, agency closes. Maybe I close it, maybe the codespace turns off. But the result is that when I immediately try to resume, the session is wiped. This issue has been present for some time but is sporadic enough that I thought it was fixed.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.55-7

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. run agency copilot
2. Be in any long lived session. In my case this was a fresh session from when I started copilot
3. Close agency copilot either with ctrl+c or another command. In my case copilot was actively processing a command
4. Restart agency copilot
5. /resume, observe session is gone

Expected behavior

Session should not be deleted
