Research direction
Start by reproducing the queued-prompt scenario with GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.81-9, where the agent remains marked as working despite no activity. Trace the working-state and queued-prompt behavior; done means the working indicator clears and the queued prompt starts. No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue.
