Reproduction steps
  1. Open VSCode Copilot Chat in agent mode in this example I was using my own Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 server (running with vLLM, which does support tool calling)
  2. Run @ruby /design Any prompt
  3. See unexpected behavior Error message
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'sendRequest')

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in VS Code Copilot Chat agent mode with the @ruby /design entry point and the reported Ruby LSP and extension versions. Trace the integration involved in handling that request and determine why sendRequest is undefined. Done means the reported prompt no longer produces this error, with the behavior verified in the same setup.
