Description
## Problem
`/remote` fails with `Remote session disabled: not in a GitHub repository` when used in a GitLab (or other) repository.
## Proposed Solution
The remote session feature should work independently of the git host — session control via GitHub account, regardless of where the code is hosted.
## Use Case
Teams using GitLab want to use /remote to control their Copilot CLI session from GitHub web/mobile, but are blocked by the repository host check.
## Additional Context
The CLI is already authenticated via GitHub, so the restriction to GitHub-hosted repos feels unnecessary for the remote control functionality itself.
