Description
### Describe the bug
This has happened a few times to me over the past days. After compaction happens, context from the previously executing action seems to become completely lost which effectively requires manually stitching things back together. This is not consistently happening and I do not know how to reproduce reliably.
Here's an example which happened right now:
you can see right after compaction that it's trying to figure out what it was doing right before (e.g. about to check screenshots it had just taken)
I'm happy to share any local files which could help debug this.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 0.0.413-0.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
_No response_
### Expected behavior
Expected behavior would be for copilot to continue with ongoing work after compaction without needing to reinfer everything from repo state.
### Additional context
Let me know what would be useful to debug.
