Descrizione
### Describe the bug
Copilot will enter into a faulted state anytime the text 'WAITFOR DELAY' is encountered, either within the prompt or when copilot reads a file. With ANY model.
To test, Try with this prompt:
`Explain what WAITFOR DELAY does in MSSQL.`
```
Result:
● Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying...
● Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying...
● Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying...
● Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying...
● Request failed due to a transient API error. Retrying...
✗ Execution failed: Error: Failed to get response from the AI model; retried 5 times (total retry wait time: 6.00 seconds) Last error: CAPIError: Connection error.
```
The context becomes unrecoverable and the only fix is `/new. `
Also try putting that text inside a file. I tested with a C# file and added that text as a comment and asked copilot to explain the file.
Here is the file:
using System;
```
class Program
{
-- Main function WAITFOR DELAY
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
}
}
```
```
Explain @Test.Api\Program.cs
◐ I need to look at the Program.cs file from the Test.Api project to understand what it does.

```
If I remove the comment, the correct hello world explanation is returned.
To me this is a critical bug because this poison pill could be injected into any file effectively crippling copilot as it ingests files to build its context.

Reproduce the failure with the prompt containing `WAITFOR DELAY`, then with the same text in the shown C# file, and compare it with the file after removing the comment. Trace the behavior around the five retries and the resulting faulted context; done means the text no longer causes an unrecoverable failure and the file can still be explained without requiring `/new`.
