Description

### Describe the bug

The Copilot CLI bash tool silently fails when the shell session is using bash 5.3.x. Every bash call appears to succeed but no shellId is returned, and subsequent read_bash calls fail with:

Invalid shell ID: 0. Please supply a valid shell ID to read output from.

### Affected version

1.0.32 run within newest devenv from nixos-unstable

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install devenv (https://devenv.sh)
2.x (it pins bashInteractive from nixpkgs-unstable, currently 5.3.9)
2. Enter devenv shell
3. Launch copilot from within the devenv shell
4. Ask the agent to run any bash command (e.g. echo hello)
5. Agent reports no active shell sessions — bash tool is completely non-functional

### Expected behavior

_No response_

### Additional context

Works fine outside devenv (system bash 5.2.37). Also works in other AI coding tools (e.g. OpenCode) that don't rely on a persistent PTY session.

### Workaround

Shim bash in PATH to point to bash 5.2:
mkdir -p /tmp/bash-shim
ln -sfn /usr/bin/bash-5.2 /tmp/bash-shim/bash # adjust path for your system
export PATH="/tmp/bash-shim:$PATH"

Then launch copilot — bash tool works.
In short: looks like copilot have problem with newest bash Version: 5.3p9 from nixos-unstable.
