Description

Would be great if I can get the session id of each of the sessions i see here in the Github Copilot Desktop App. Right now if a session is getting corrupted with "The request is too large to send through CAPI Responses" , i need to manually go through each of the folders in the copilot sessions to get the session id of any sessions in order for me to create a new session and ask it to get context from the original session which got broke.

Research direction

Start in the /chat session list and trace how the Copilot session folders are discovered and represented. The request is complete when each visible session exposes its session ID, making it possible to identify a corrupted session without manually inspecting folders.
