Expected behavior

In Agent mode, if run_in_terminal tool is needed, after execution, the control should be taken over by the chat and generate content.

Actual behavior

In Agent mode, run_in_terminal tool keeps on running while the command execution in terminal is completed and got the output in terminal. The control is not being taken oven by copilot chat.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Eclipse IDE 4.39.0 M3 on macOS, using Agent mode with the run_in_terminal tool, then inspect how terminal completion is reported back to the Copilot chat. Confirm that the terminal output is received and that control returns to the chat, which then generates the expected content.
