Description
### Describe the bug
When the Copilot CLI agent uses the `bash` tool in `mode="sync"`, it cannot read the stdout output of commands. Commands execute successfully (exit code 0) and the user can see the output in the terminal, but the agent only receives `` with no output content.
The same issue occurs with the Copilot Chat extension in VS Code.
This must be some configuration issue on my side because no one else I asked has this issue. I also have a huge convo with Claude where I was trying to fix this issue but in the end it recommended opening an issue here.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.12
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Ask the agent to run any shell command that produces output, e.g.:
> "Run echo hello and tell me what it printed"
### Expected behavior
The agent receives the stdout and can reference it in its response.
### Additional context
### Workaround
The agent can use `mode="async"` combined with `read_bash` to successfully retrieve output.
### Environment
- OS: macOS (Tahoe 26.2)
- Affected: Copilot CLI v1.0.12, Copilot Chat VS Code extension (0.41.2)
