Descrizione
## Feature Request
Allow users to customize the symbols and indicators shown in the Copilot CLI prompt, similar to how tools like Starship allow full prompt configuration.
## Context
The Copilot CLI prompt includes a git branch glyph (U+2387 ⎇) and dirty indicator. While these render, they may not look great depending on the user's font/terminal setup. There's currently no way to change them.
## Desired behavior
Allow users to configure prompt symbols via `~/.copilot/config.json` or a dedicated config, for example:
```json
{
"prompt": {
"branchIcon": "⎇",
"dirtyIndicator": "△",
"untrackedIndicator": "?",
"aheadIndicator": "⇡",
"behindIndicator": "⇣"
}
}
```
Or alternatively, allow users to disable the built-in prompt status line entirely and rely on their own shell prompt.
## Why
- Different fonts render glyphs differently — what looks good in one setup may look off in another
- Power users already have customized prompts (Starship, oh-my-posh, custom functions) and may prefer consistency
- Similar to Claude Code's `/statusline` configuration

Direzione di ricerca
Start by locating the Copilot CLI prompt and status-line implementation, then review how ~/.copilot/config.json or another configuration source is loaded. Define whether completion means configurable branch and git-state symbols, disabling the built-in status line, or both, and verify the selected behavior in the CLI prompt.
