Descrição
### Describe the bug
Copilot CLI's prompt input box and highlighted/selected menu list items are unreadable (dark text on dark/matching background) when run inside tmux. The same session works correctly in a plain iTerm2 tab with no tmux.
During troubleshooting, ruled out the following:
• Stale COLORFGBG env var — unset it, no change.
• iTerm2 automatic light/dark profile switching — disabled it, no change.
• tmux truecolor passthrough — confirmed via tmux info that Tc / RGB report true after adding set -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:Tc" , and tmux capture-pane -e shows correct 24-bit RGB SGR codes are being preserved (not quantized), so this isn't a color-depth/passthrough issue.
• tmux allow-passthrough on is enabled; OSC 11 background-color queries do get a reply (confirmed manually with printf '\033]11;?\033\\' ), though the reply appears to arrive after Copilot's internal detection timeout in some tests.
• Restarting tmux server fully, restarting iTerm2 fully — no change.
• Switching Copilot's theme setting between default , dim , github — same problem persists in all of them, only inside tmux.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.73. Run 'copilot update' to check for updates.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Launch iTerm2, start a tmux session, run copilot .
2. Type in the prompt input box, or open a menu with selectable items (e.g. /theme ).
3. Text in the prompt box / highlighted menu rows is invisible — same foreground/background color.
### Expected behavior
The colors should be legible regardless of being run inside tmux or not

O relatório não identifica arquivos-fonte nem testes. Reproduza o problema com GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.73 dentro do iTerm2 e do tmux, compare-o com uma aba comum do iTerm2 e inspecione o comportamento relatado de truecolor e OSC 11. O trabalho estará concluído quando o texto do prompt e os itens de menu destacados permanecerem legíveis no tmux em todos os temas listados.
