Descrição
### Describe the bug
Deleting a session from the Copilot app UI does not propagate the deletion to the shared ~/.copilot session store. The session row remains fully intact in data.db, session-store.db (including search_index), and vscode.session.metadata.cache.json. Because the VS Code Copilot extension reads this same shared store, the "deleted" session keeps appearing in VS Code's Copilot Chat history panel.
This appears to be the same underlying "delete doesn't prune session-store.db" root cause reported in #3811 (which surfaces via /chronicle insights), just with a different symptom (VS Code history panel). As I'm experiencing it in the App I made it a different bug.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.69
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Create a new session using the "New session" button on a repo.
2. Set it to local (not worktree) and ask it anything.
3. The session now appears in both the Copilot app and the VS Code Copilot Chat history pane.
4. Delete the session from the app.
5. It remains in the VS Code chat history pane, with full chat history persisting after restarts even.
### Expected behavior
Deleting a session in the app should also remove it from the VS Code Copilot Chat history pane, so it no longer appears (in either the app or VS Code) after deletion.
### Additional context
Operating system: Windows
Guia de contribuição
Direção de pesquisa
Comece pelo fluxo de exclusão de sessões do app e rastreie como ele atualiza data.db, session-store.db e seu search_index, além de vscode.session.metadata.cache.json. Reproduza com uma sessão local e, em seguida, verifique se a exclusão remove a linha armazenada e se a sessão não aparece mais no histórico do VS Code Copilot Chat depois de reiniciar os dois apps.
