Research direction
Start with the /chat path and review how GitHub Copilot is expected to interact with the local repository setup from GitHub Desktop. Clarify the repository information that must be exposed and the expected user-visible behavior; done means the chat can read that local setup reliably on the reported Windows configuration.
