描述
### Describe the bug
When asked to locate a file like ado-mcp.env, the agent searched only the repo directory and then escalated to a drive-root scan
— skipping $HOME/.copilot/ entirely, despite the documentation explicitly listing it as a profile-level config directory.
The agent should apply file-type reasoning first (.env + ado-mcp prefix → MCP config → ~/.copilot/), check the documented lookup
order (repo → repo root → $HOME/.copilot/), and only ask the user if all three fail — never scan from drive root.
This is a tool-first, reasoning-last anti-pattern that should be corrected in the agent's lookup heuristics.

### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.21.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. save ado mcp details in ~/.copilot/ado-mcp.env
2. go to your repo folder
3. ask: create pull request
### Expected behavior
it should have look into ~/.copilot folder for env file
### Additional context
Operating system: windows 11
processor : x86_64
terminal: windows terminal
bash: git bash
贡献指南
调研方向
Start by reproducing the lookup from a repository on Windows 11 with ~/.copilot/ado-mcp.env present, and review the attached bug-conversation.txt alongside the documented lookup order. Done means the agent checks the repository, repository root, and $HOME/.copilot/ before asking the user, without escalating to a drive-root scan.
