Description

### Describe the bug

When I start Copilot CLI, and perform an action that restarts the app (such as update or toggling experimental mode) it does not restart correctly, and gives an error message that the session ID cannot be found:

```
Error: No session, task, or name matched 'b490e4ae-7edc-4d79-bfb0-48a03c10084f'.

To resume by session or task ID: copilot --resume=
To resume by name: copilot --resume=
To name a new session: copilot --name=
To pick from existing sessions: copilot --resume
```

### Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.51-2

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Type `copilot` to start the cli
2. `/experimental on` (or off if you already have it on)

### Expected behavior

Copilot CLI restarts correctly enabling experimental.

What actually happens is the error I listed above.

### Additional context

Logs from the relaunch:

Start by tracing the `/experimental` action and the restart path it invokes, then follow how the current session ID is passed into the relaunch. Reproduce with `/experimental on` or `off` and inspect the relaunch logs. Done means the CLI restarts with the requested setting and preserves the active session without a missing-session error.
