Description
### Feature summary
Let an automation optionally add its prompt to an existing project session instead of creating a separate run session.
### What problem are you trying to solve?
I use automations for recurring work that continues the same plan and workspace.
An automation can reuse its workspace, but in the project-bound automation I tested, successive runs each had a separate conversation. The work, tool history, decisions, and summary can therefore become split across run sessions instead of appearing in the session where I normally coordinate the work.
### Proposed solution
Add a **Run in** choice:
- **New automation run** — current behavior and default
- **Existing project session** — queue the automation prompt as a labeled new turn in a selected session
If the session is busy, the prompt should wait rather than steer the active work. If the target has been deleted, belongs to another project, or cannot be resumed, the run should fail clearly instead of silently creating another session.
The automation run should link to the resulting turn. Interactive, Plan, and Autopilot should be selectable for that turn.
### Workflow impact
Recurring work could stay in one continuous, auditable conversation without changing the current isolated-run behavior for existing automations.
### Installation context
GitHub Copilot app 1.1.1 on Windows x64, OS build 26200.8893, using a local project automation.
### Additional context
Related:
- #173 requests promoting a workflow run to a session.
- #1150 requests project-scoped automation actions in the session UI.
Copilot CLI also supports scheduling prompts in the current session with `/every` and `/after`, but only while that session is running:

This request is for the same-session option to work as a durable GitHub Copilot App automation destination.

Aucun fichier d’implémentation, test ou point d’entrée n’est identifié. Commencez par lire les issues associées #173 et #1150 ainsi que la documentation liée sur la planification de Copilot CLI, puis déterminez où les automatisations du projet sélectionnent et reprennent les sessions. Le travail sera considéré comme terminé lorsque la nouvelle destination et les comportements indiqués concernant l’état occupé, la suppression, la propriété, les échecs, la liaison et le mode d’interaction seront pris en charge, sans modifier le comportement par défaut d’exécution isolée.
