Describe the bug

When I start an Agent session on GitHub.com and click Continue in Copilot CLI, the CLI command copilot --resume=<session-id> opens an empty/new session instead of the existing one.

The session I just used on the web is not listed in /resume (only an older archived session appears), even though
I am using the same GitHub account.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.17.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Start a Copilot session on GitHub.com and work in it for a while (~30 minutes).
  2. Click Continue in Copilot CLI on the web session.
  3. Run the provided command in terminal:
    copilot --resume=e4128d2f-eb80-4113-8a29-0a61caecf8c8
  4. In CLI, check /resume.
  5. the target recent session is missing; CLI opens an empty/new session.

Expected behavior

copilot --resume=<session-id> should restore the exact web session context and that session should appear in
/resume
