Description

### Feature summary

_No response_

### What problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, it is possible to edit the user level and project level instructions through the app. But when switching over from the CLI, I already have existing AGENTS.md files or ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md etc. So it's unclear what happens if I additionally add instructions through the app's UI. WIll the models then have those instructions from the already existing ones I had before downloading the app, clogging up the context window?

These should be discoverable and editable within the app, making it very clear what is in a particular session's context for a given repo.

Similar feedback for custom agents.
