Description
### Describe the bug
I am writing a hook that will help keep my LSP install updated. However, I cannot update the LSP because copilot is launching it before running hooks. This seems out of order to me.
```
2026-05-04T23:34:50.080Z [DEBUG] LSP csharp server for Q:\source\TestConsole2: [Program] Language server initialized
...
2026-05-04T23:35:04.709Z [DEBUG] Executing hook: ./.github/hooks/scripts/session-start.ps1
```
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.41-0
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Add a lsp.json
2. Configure an LSP
3. Add a hooks/copilot-hooks.json
4. Configure a session-start hook that runs a session-start.ps1
5. Add a session-start.ps1 which prints "Hello"
6. Start Copilot
7. Observe the logs
### Expected behavior
I expected that the session-start.ps1 would be complete prior to initializing LSPs.
