### Describe the bug

Copilot keeps skipping intermediate steps. Haven't seen this before.
Example of skipping two intermediate steps:
```
✓ $ git status -s
↪ 1 line...
○ $ git add CHANGELOG.md && git commit --amend --no-edit
○ $ cat > .dev/onboarding/onboarding-NEXT.md << 'EOF'
# Onboarding for Next AI
**Prepared**: 2025-11-11 22:05 UTC
**For**: Next session ...
○ $ make session-wrap
------------------------------------------------
| make session-wrap
------------------------------------------------
Do you want to run this command?
Yes) ...
...
```
In the example above copilot skipped the `git add CHANGELOG.md...` and the `cat > .dev/onboarding/onboarding-NEXT.md` intermediary steps and went directly to `make session-wrap`.
This weird behaviour continued to happen during a session.
This is a huge problem when doing git workflows. It creates a huge git mess. It executes git commands that it shouldn't., and because it tries to fix itself, it makes even things worse because it continues to skip steps. After a few iterations of trying to fix git problems copilot creates total git chaos. It tantamounts to executing git commands at random.
