Description

### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I use Opus on Copilot and have come to Copilot from Claude Code. A feature I definitely miss is this: whenever a file is edited, the diff is shown on the terminal (see screenshot below) and asks for permission to edit. But the moment the user says yes (or no), the diff is no longer visible on the terminal. The visibility is quite helpful. A user just has to scroll up and remind themselves what they did in the past.

### Proposed solution

A simple fix would be for the diff to be visible as the copilot continues with the next task. This is helpful for any user to scroll up and remind themselves what they did in the past. Claude Code has this and this is super helpful.

### Example prompts or workflows

_No response_

### Additional context

Why not continue to have a diff like this continuously visible when Copilot goes on with its task? Right now after you say yes, this screen goes away.
