Descrição

## Describe the bug

When using Copilot for Xcode, I often encounter the following error:

> **"Oops, maximum tool attempts reached. You can update the max tool
> requests in settings."**

After this happens, Copilot stops responding and does not provide any
further assistance. Unlike Copilot in VS Code, it does **not
automatically summarize the context or continue the conversation**,
which interrupts development.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Versions

- Copilot for Xcode: 0.47.0
- Xcode: 26.3
- macOS: 26

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Steps to reproduce

1. Open a project in Xcode.
2. Start using Copilot Chat for code generation or debugging.
3. Continue interacting with Copilot for multiple consecutive requests.
4. After several tool calls, Copilot shows:\
\> "Oops, maximum tool attempts reached..."
5. Copilot no longer responds or continues the task.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Expected behavior

When the maximum tool attempts limit is reached, Copilot should behave
similarly to VS Code Copilot:

- Automatically summarize previous context.
- Continue the conversation with a reduced context.
- Allow the user to proceed without restarting the session.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Actual behavior

- Copilot stops working.
- No summary is provided.
- No automatic continuation.
- User must manually restart or clear the chat.

## Logs

Not available / Please advise how to collect relevant logs.

## Additional context

Copilot in VS Code supports **"summary and continue"** behavior when
context limits are reached, which greatly improves usability.

It would be very helpful if Copilot for Xcode could support a similar
mechanism to avoid frequent interruptions during long debugging or
development sessions.
