Description
**Describe the bug**
When I use Agent mode, no matter which model or input I try, I always get the message: “Sorry, an error occurred while generating a response.” But everything works fine in Ask mode. Interestingly, Agent mode works perfectly in VSCode.
**Versions**
- Copilot for Xcode: 0.38.0
- Xcode: 16.4
- macOS: 15.5
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure in Agent mode using Copilot for Xcode 0.38.0 with Xcode 16.4 on macOS 15.5, then compare it with Ask mode and Agent mode in VSCode. Done means Agent mode can generate a response instead of showing the reported error.
