Description
### Describe the bug
Context Tier config option does not seem to actually impact the agent that the cli is launched with, nor any despatched sub agents; until you have manually used the model picker to select a model with long context, THEN the main session and sub agents correctly use long context
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.61.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Ensure previous copilot cli session was running with a model with default context window selected
Launch the cli with --context=long_context
OR
launch a session with no options and then:
/config contextTier long_context
run `/context` to see usage, the model context shows the default value (not the extended option)
### Expected behavior
launching cli with context option or setting the context tier via config changes the context tier for the model in use and crucially any despatched sub agents
