Pull request overview
This PR fixes Copilot CLI chat panel /compact so running it multiple times doesn’t surface an SDK error, addressing issue #311422.
Changes:
- Add a pre-check in
CopilotCLISessionto detect an already-compacted conversation before calling the SDK’scompactHistory(). - Extend the Copilot CLI session unit test mock to support
getChatMessages(). - Add a regression test covering the “already compacted” scenario.
