Description
### Describe the bug
There are a lot of transient server errors, especially during subagent tasks. Every time I run anything using fleet or anything that requires a subagent task, I'll get 10-15 or more copies of "Response was interrupted due to a server error. Retrying...".
Nothing seems to be affected, and the /tasks read-only view does not show any issues.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.74-0
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
_No response_
### Expected behavior
It would be nice if the messages could be collapsed into one, for example, that updates a disruption count in place, or even just a little "Unstable connection, 5 retries" at the bottom somewhere.
### Additional context
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing a fleet or subagent task on GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.74-0 and observe the retry messages alongside the /tasks read-only view. Trace where repeated "Response was interrupted due to a server error. Retrying..." messages are emitted; done when transient retries are represented by one collapsed message or disruption count without changing task behavior.
