Description

Describe the bug

The /feedback flow presents an option labeled “Save feedback bundle.” This wording is easily interpreted as saving/submitting the feedback to GitHub, but the action only writes a local diagnostic archive. A user trying to send a complaint can complete the flow without realizing that nothing was transmitted.

Affected version

1.0.83

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Run /feedback in Copilot CLI.
  2. Choose Save feedback bundle.
  3. Observe that a local archive is created, but no feedback is submitted.
Expected behavior

Use an explicit label such as “Save diagnostic bundle locally” and clearly state that it does not submit feedback. Provide a separate, obvious “Submit feedback” action when direct submission is available.

Additional context

Linux, Copilot CLI 1.0.83. No session logs are attached because the wording problem is reproducible without them.

Research direction

Start with the /feedback flow in Copilot CLI and reproduce the listed steps. Update the “Save feedback bundle” wording and explanation to make the local-only behavior explicit, then verify that the flow still creates a local archive without implying that feedback was submitted.
